Air Operated Cooler
What is Air Operated Cooler?
Air Operated Cooler or Panel Cooler or Cabinet Panel Cooler or Cabinet Cooler or Air Conditioner provide a low-cost method of both purging and cooling electrical and electronic control panels by using a stainless-steel vortex tube to create cold air from ordinary compressed air. There are virtually no moving parts. These units are compact and can be installed in minutes through a standard electrical knockout. These units are ideal for panels of different ratings

Working of Air Operated Cooler :
Filtered, compressed air enters the panel cooler through the vortex tube component. The air is split into two streams, one hot and one cold. The muffled hot air from the vortex tube is expelled through the top of the panel cooler. The cold air is directed into the enclosure through the cold air distribution hose. Hot air inside the enclosure rises and exits to atmosphere via the air exhaust at a slight positive pressure. The enclosure is both purged and cooled with clean air. No outside air enters the enclosure
Advantages of Air Operated Cooler :
• Low in cost
• Compact
• No CFC’s
• Fast installation
• Stabilize enclosure temperature and humidity
• Virtually maintenance free (No Moving Parts)
• Mounts in a standard electrical knockout
• Stops heat damage and nuisance tripping
• Eliminates fans and filters
• Prevents dirt contamination by keeping enclosure at positive pressure
• Units applicable to all environments including high temperature to 200ºF
Air Operated Cooler Selection :
Selecting the right Panel Cooler or Cabinet Panel Cooler or Cabinet Cooler or Air Conditioner for your panel is very important, since the wrong model can waste lot of air and not be effective. To understand which model is suitable for your panel or application, a calculation for air consumption in CFM for your panel is required to be done. For this calculation, the size of the panel and heat generated inside the panel is to be known. According to this information, the appropriate model can be selected.
Panel Cooler are available with or without thermostat control. When constant cooling and a constant positive purge is required, we recommend the continuous operating version without the thermostat and solenoid valve. The cooling effect can be controlled by adding a regulator in line to reduce pressure for reduced cooling when it is not required and to conserve energy.
Systems utilizing a thermostat and solenoid valve save air by activating the Panel Cooler only when the internal temperature reaches a critical level. The adjustable thermostat is factory set at 28°C but can be readjusted on site. Thermostat and solenoid valve systems are recommended where the heat load can fluctuate (such as for frequency drives) and where a continual purge is not required. The thermostat and solenoid “package” can also be added at a later date to a continuous system.
