Marketplace innovation from Stahlin Enclosures has been highlighted by nearly 60 years of innovation. One of many examples is the availability of their Dead-Front Panels. These panels, used in conjunction with corner mounting posts, mount at the front of the enclosure. They are hinged on one side, secured to the other, and provide a larger working surface area when compared to the variable height swing panel.

Metal enclosures manufacturer METCASE has further invested in new technology to meet growing demand for cases and front panels printed with photo-quality legends, logos and graphics. METCASE first introduced digital printing five years ago. Now increased demand has prompted the company to double its capacity. The new equipment is slightly larger than the existing 1800 x 1800 dpi flatbed printer – and 40% faster.

Fibox’s HMI cover kits protect instruments or electronics components that need secure accessibility. The Instrument Protection Window (IPW) permits both viewing and access to readouts and controls which are surface mounted on any metal or non-metallic enclosures. These HMI covers allow for easy viewing of meters or displays and afford direct access to HMI controls on any underlying enclosure.

Equipment Cooling for Data Centres & Plants: Why Your HVAC SYSTEM is a Poor Climate Control Unit
Data Centre and Plant Managers working in small and mid-sized businesses often find themselves searching their buildings for unused space to house the company’s IT and other enclosures.
Mailrooms, empty offices, janitors’ closets…all have been repurposed into data closets holding one to a few racks. This approach may be the right choice in terms of square footage needed, but when it comes to proper climate conditions for sensitive IT equipment, it could not be more wrong. At best, these spaces are cooled using only the building’s AC system. At worst? An open window.
A building’s existing air conditioning system (or combined heat and air conditioning system) is designed to create comfortable environments for employees – the reason they are sometimes referred to as “comfort systems.” When IT racks need to be placed somewhere on site, it’s thought that “any old room” will do because AC ductwork usually terminates in these spaces. However, the reality is that even if you were to add ducts to supplement the building’s AC, relying on a system designed for humans is not a good solution for IT equipment.
Server rooms need more targeted cooling to keep the temperature within a specific range and prevent the servers from overheating. According to ASHRAE (the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers), the appropriate temperature range for server rooms is between 64.4 and 80.6 Fahrenheit. This requires a discrete cooling solution capable of monitoring and managing the temperature of both the equipment and the room. The same cooling system must also be capable of regulating humidity within the precise margins required by sensitive equipment. Finally, building HVAC will not provide sufficient airflow volume for heat removal from installed appliances; the CFM requirements for comfort cooling are significantly lower than airflow required to remove heat from the IT devices.

Stay Cool: 8 Key Elements of Climate Control Systems
If you want to truly understand a language, you must first understand the vocabulary of that language and how it is used to convey information and ideas. As with any aspect of industrial enclosures, there exists a unique and important vocabulary in climate control and the products and services required to ensure industrial enclosures are adequately protected.
Understanding the vocabulary used in current climate control conversations provides a couple of valuable benefits for equipping enclosures with the right climate protection, specifically:
1). More effective communication between the climate system engineers, plant engineers, and maintenance managers.
2). Greater holistic knowledge about the industrial enclosure that requires a climate solution (to cool it, you have to know it).
The end result is a fluency with the vocabulary of climate control and the ability to make the most cost-effective and data-driven choice for any context or environment. With this in mind, let’s look at 8 key elements of climate control to better understand the vocabulary used in this aspect of the industrial enclosure world.
1). Enclosure heaters
Enclosure heaters are used to heat or stabilize the internal temperature of an industrial enclosure in relation to the ambient or air temperature. In addition, enclosure heaters are used to prevent moisture condensation on panels or other accessories inside the enclosure as well as maintain minimum temperatures for switchgear and controlgear setups.
