What Might Happen If An Enclosure Overheats?

What Might Happen If An Enclosure Overheats?

The first is a deterioration of the equipment’s performance. High temperatures can cause erratic performance leading to detrimental results. Having equipment at such a high temperature excel the aging of the equipment thus shortening its lifespan. High temperatures can also lead to the  unexpected shutdown of equipment. Many manufacturers install a fail-safe into the equipment to prevent damage. This means potentially crucial downtime until it cools down. Finally after continued exposure to high temperatures, the equipment is likely to be damaged irreparably and completely fail.
One more side effect due to overheating, although unlikely, is the start of a fire. If the equipment overheats to a high temperature a fire could start causing not only property/equipment damage but potentially putting people's lives at risk.
