HOW MUCH COOLING DO I NEED?

The size and type of air conditioner required to properly cool an enclosure depends on a number of factors including the size of the enclosure, the outside ambient temperature, the internal heat load generated by the electronics, the desired internal temp. (max) and the desired end use of the equipment.

In order to make an accurate recommendation, we will need some information regarding your application. Upon receipt of your sizing data, we will perform a complete engineering review of your application to determine the proper size (BTU cooling) and type (thermoelectric or compressor-based) of air conditioner to meet your specific requirements.

                         


WATT REFERENCE CHART

This chart is designed to help estimate the approximate heat dissipation of the equipment housed within your enclosure. In many cases the project details/specifications are not available during the design phase. This chart is intended to provide a rough estimate of the heat dissipation. This figure can vary significantly based on equipment efficiency, voltage, phase, and length of operation. You must confirm the actual heat dissipation of your equipment with the equipment manufacturer to get an exact heat dissipation figure.


EQUIPMENT WATT RANGE

DVR (8 CHANNELS) 15 – 30 WATTS

NVR (8 CHANNELS) 25 – 50 WATTS

NETWORK SWITCH 8 PORT – (10/100/1000Mbps) 20 – 75 WATTS

DESKTOP COMPUTER 80 – 250 WATTS

TYPICAL 21″ COMPUTER MONITOR 40 – 80 WATTS

UPS 300 WATTS (4 OUTLETS) 165 – 300 WATTS

UPS 330 WATTS (8 OUTLETS) 350 – 500 WA

SERVER (DELL/HP) 750 WATTS ONWARDS

This chart is for reference only. Actual heat dissipation of your equipment may not be equal to what is listed in this chart. It is the customer’s responsibility to confirm that the heat dissipation used to determine the cooling solution is correct
