Heat exchangers – technical overview
Heat exchangers are passive or low-energy cooling systems that transfer heat from inside an enclosure to the external environment without mixing internal and external airflows. They are widely used in applications where maintaining enclosure protection and minimizing energy consumption are critical.
Enclosure heat exchangers are cooling devices that remove heat from electrical cabinets and enclosures by transferring thermal energy through a heat exchange surface. Unlike active cooling systems, they do not rely on refrigerants or compressors.
Unlike free cooling systems, heat exchangers use a closed-loop design that separates internal and external airflows, maintaining enclosure protection and preventing contamination.
This makes them a reliable solution for telecom cabinets, industrial control systems, and outdoor enclosures where sealed protection is required.
Without compressors or refrigerants, heat exchangers consume only a fraction of the energy required by air conditioners. This makes them ideal for remote telecom cabinets and energy-critical sites, reducing operational costs over the entire lifecycle.
Heat exchangers transfer heat between two separate airflow paths:
- Internal air circulates within the enclosure
- External air removes heat through a heat exchange surface
Because the airflows remain separated, the enclosure maintains its protection rating.
Heat exchangers and air conditioners serve different cooling requirements.
- Heat exchangers are ideal for energy-efficient cooling when ambient temperatures are lower than internal temperatures
- Air conditioners provide active cooling when heat loads are high or ambient temperatures exceed desired enclosure conditions
Choosing the correct system depends on environmental conditions and cooling demand.
