Heat inside an enclosure can decrease the life expectancy of controlling units such as your PLC, HMI, AC drives and other items. Excessive heat can cause nuisance faults from your electrical and electronic components: for example, overloads tripping unexpectedly. Heat will also change the expected performance of circuit breakers and fuses, which can cause whole systems to shut down unexpectedly. So, if you have any electronic equipment or other heat sensitive devices, you may need cooling.
There are basically two sources that can cause the enclosures internal temperature to rise above the ratings of the control equipment. The same items that can be damaged by heat may also be the source of the heat. These include items such as: Power supplies Servos AC Drives/inverters Soft starters Transformers PLC systems Communication products HMI systems Battery back-up systems
External Sources
COLD HOT
Other sources of heat that can cause the internal temperature of your enclosure to rise above a desired level involve the external enviroment. These include items such as: Industrial ovens Solar heat gain Foundry equipment Blast furnaces
How do you get the heat out of your enclosure and away from those critical components? There are three basic cooling methods.
If the ambient temperature outside the enclosure is cooler than the inside of the enclosure, then the heat can be dissipated into the atmosphere by radiating it through the surface of the enclosure and through the use of louvers or grilles with filters.
If you have clean and cool ambient air outside of the enclosure, then a simple forced-air system may be adequate. A system such as a filter fan and the associated grille with the appropriate filter may be an acceptable option.
HOT
A system that will keep the ambient air separate from the internal enclosure air is needed if the environment is harsh, there are washdown requirements, heavy dust and debris or the presence of airborne chemicals, and the ambient temperature is as high as or higher than the desired internal temperature. Air conditioners are an example of a closed loop system.

To select the proper size (CFM) fan for your forced air cooling solution, you need to determine the amount of heat to be removed (in watts) and determine the Delta T (Max. allowable internal enclosure temperature F Max. outside ambient temperatureF).
CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute P = Power to be dissipated in watts CFM = (3.17 x Pwatts) / Delta T F Delta T = max. allowable internal enclosure temperature F max. outside ambient temperature F
A NEMA 12 Hubbell Wiegmann N12302412 enclosure (30" high x 24" wide x 12" deep) contains a GS3-2020 AC drive (20 HP 230 volt) that has a maximum allowable operating temperature of 104F and is located in a warehouse that has a maximum outside ambient air temperature of 95F. Power to be dissipated is stated in the specifications of the GS3-2020 and is found to be 750 watts, so P=750 watts Delta T = Max. operating temperature for the GS3-2020 is 104F Max. ambient air temperature of 95F
Delta T = 9F CFM = (3.17 x 750 watts) / 9F CFM = 264
Choose a Hubbell Wiegmann WPF60-115BK filter fan kit that provides 295 CFM with exhaust kit WPFA50-60BK
To select the proper size air conditioner, the worst-case conditions should be considered, but take care not to choose an oversized unit. There are two main factors in choosing an uninsulated metal NEMA rated enclosure located indoors: Internal heat load Heat load transfer
A NEMA 12 Hubbell Wiegmann N12302412 enclosure (30" high x 24" wide x 12" deep) contains a GS3-4030 AC drive 30 HP 460 volt) that has a maximum allowable operating temperature of 104F and is located in a warehouse that has a maximum outside ambient air temperature of 115F. Power to be dissipated is stated in the specifications of the GS3-4030 and is found to be 1290 watts. Internal heat load:
BTU per Hour = 1290 watts x 3.413 BTU per Hour = 4403 BTU/H
Inte rnal he at load is the heat generated by the components inside the enclosure. This can be determined by a few different methods. The preferred method is to add the maximum heat output specifications that the manufacturers list for all the equipment installed in the cabinet. This is typically given in Watts, so use the following conversion: Example: The Watt-loss chart for the GS3 Drives shows that a GS3-2020 AC drive has a Watt-loss of 750 watts.
Heat load transfer (BTU/H) = 1.25 x 19 sq. ft. x (115F 104F) Heat load transfer (BTU/H) = 261.25 BTU/H Cooling capacity (BTU/H) = 4403 BTU/H + 261.25 BTU/H Cooling capacity (BTU/H) = 4664.25 BTU/H
In this example, you are able to determine that a 5000 BTU/H unit is needed. Select a TA10-050-16-12 Stratus air conditioner.
BTU per Hour = 750 watts x 3.413 BTU per Hour = 2559
Heat load transfer is the heat lost (negative heat load transfer) or gained (positive heat load transfer) through the enclosure walls with the surrounding ambient air. This can be calculated by the following formula:
Heat load transfer (BTU/H) = 1.25 x surface area (sq. ft. ) x (max. outside ambient air (F) max. allowable internal enclosure temperature air (F)) Surface Area (sq. ft.) = 2 [(H x W) + (H x D) + (W x D)] / 144 sq. inches
Once you have determined your Internal Heat Load and the Heat Load Transfer, you can choose the proper size unit by calculating the needed cooling capacity.
Cooling capacity (BTU/H) = Internal Heat Load Heat Load Transfer
Note: 1.25 is an industry standard constant for metal enclosures; 0.62 should be used for plastic enclosures.

Requirements
Applications
NEMA 4/4X
NEMA 12
Mounting holes
Uses clean, dry, oil-free compressed air (100 PSIG / 70 degrees F or below) required to achieve published BTU/hr ratings. Lower pressures and higher temperatures will reduce BTU/Hr ratings. A 5-micron water and particulate removal filter must be installed prior to operating any vortex cooler (included in kits). An oil removal filter can be installed between the 5 micron filter and the Vortex Cooler if oil is present in the compressed air line.
Standards
Features
Compressed air cooling is used where conventional enclosure cooling by air conditioners or heat exchangers is not possible (Example: Small to medium size enclosures, nonmetallic enclosures, and areas where the size of cooling devices is restricted)
NEMA 12 kits: (1) 1-3/32 (28mm) or 3/4 knockout hole for cooling tube and (1) 11/16 hole for thermostat NEMA 4 and 4X kits: (1) 1-15/16 (49mm) or 1-1/2 knockout hole for cooling tube and (2) #8 holes for thermostat
Suitable for harsh environments Small physical size Creates cool air without refrigerants (no CFCs, HCFCs) Exceptionally reliable - no moving parts and virtually no maintenance
Vortex cooling tube Solenoid valve 120V / 60Hz - 110V / 50Hz Filter: 5-micron water and particulate removal Ducting kit Thermostat
Vortex coolers are powered by a vortex tube - a unique device that creates a vortex from compressed air and separates it into hot and cold airstreams. Heres how it works: The vortex tubes cylindrical generator causes the input compressed air to rotate, reaching speeds up to 1,000,000 rpm as it is forced down the inner walls of the hot longer end of the vortex tube. At the end of the hot tube, a small portion of this air exits through a needle valve as hot air exhaust. The remaining air is forced back through the center of the incoming air stream at a slower speed. The heat in the slower moving air is transferred to the faster moving incoming air. This super-cooled air flows through the center of the generator and exits through the cold air exhaust port.
