Seifert: SlimLine Vario – Variable Cooling Capacity for Constant Temperature

The compact compressor can be adjusted to the required cooling capacity with variable speed via a controller and thus only consumes the amount of electricity that is actually required to cool the current power losses. By continuously adapting the cooling capacity, a very constant enclosure temperature is achieved which means that the electronic components and the cooling unit are significantly less stressed. In addition, the formation of condensation inside the enclosure is minimised.
