The food and beverage industry relies on complex electronics to power its processing, packaging, and labeling lines. Heavily regulated by government health and safety agencies, these facilities are often subject to routine sanitation, including frequent high-pressure washdowns. Only specialized thermal management solutions will protect the heat-sensitive electronic components to maintain optimal performance and help prevent costly downtime.This case study describes how Kooltronic engineers developed a unique and effective approach to cool several NEMA 4X electrical enclosures in a meat packing plant. After analyzing the project requirements and considering several important environmental factors, Kooltronic delivered a thermal management solution that exceeded the customer's expectations by offering lower cost, greater reliability, and more energy efficiency.
