in your controls!
Electra-Kool
Filter Blower Units are a viable, low-cost, packaged "bolt-on"
unit designed to eliminate common problems caused by heat
and dust in electrical and electronic enclosures and related
equipment.
Modern SOLID-STATE controls function best at temperatures
below 100ºF.
Heat generated by internal components can raise temperatures
to objectionable levels, causing failure or automatic cut-outs
to activate.
Dust also reduces the efficiency of heat sinks.
CONTACT-TYPE controls are sensitive to fine dusts which build
up over time and can cause shorts and other malfunctions.
The results of heat and dust in your enclosure may cause EXPENSIVE
PRODUCTION DOWN-TIME and MANUFACTURING LOSSES in addition
to the costs of replacing and repairing parts.
An
Electra Kool will upgrade existing air circulation equipment!
Many enclosures
have no ventilation other than louvres for heat release. Others
have small fans or fans equipped with inexpensive panel-type
filters to keep dust out.
LOW-POWERED fans may not have the capability to remove enough
heat, especially when a filter is dirty. Because panel filters
are not very noticeable, they are generally neglected, and
the circulation of air suffers.
Panel-type filters of fiberglass, synthetic and metal mesh
filter medias are not highly efficient on the bulk of the
microscopic dust particles which cause problems.
The filter area is generally small and they tend to clog quickly
in dusty environments.
Sometimes (especially in hot weather) doors may be opened
to improve air circulation in the cabinet and/or fans may
be placed in front of the opened doors.
This is not only dangerous, but a direct violation of OSHA
and plant safety standards.
Electra
Kool units are a low-cost answer to these problems!
Electra-Kool
assemblies are designed to give proper FORCEFUL VENTILATION
to enclosures and at the same time, keep problem-causing fine
dust out!
Electra-Kools are self-contained units that can be installed
in about ONE HOUR!
Dusts are filtered out to 99% efficiency.
They will FORCE THE COOLER, AMBIENT AIR to the inside, while
BLOWING AWAY the built-up internal heat!
Electra-Kools are less costly than air conditioners to purchase
and run. They are less expensive than using compressed air
to pressurize and do not form condensation internally. Because
they are externally mounted and visible, any filter change
is easily noticed. Both the pre-filter and main filter are
cleanable and REUSEABLE and can be changed in LESS THAN A
MINUTE!
The blowers are heavy-duty PRESSURE TYPES, not low-powered
fans! If heat is not a problem, they can be used to PRESSURIZE
cabinets to keep out dust! Lastly, Electra-Kools are PERFORMANCE
GUARANTEED for your application!
Industrial
Dusts
The human eye
can see particles about 35-40 microns and larger.
Most industrial dusts are much smaller and in the 1-25 micron
range.
These fine dusts can infiltrate through ineffective filters,
door seals, etc. and, over a period of time, may cause problems.
Some of the more common industrial dusts that can be effectively
controlled by ELECTRA-KOOL units are:
Asbestos
Cement
Ceramic
Carbon Black
Fiberglass
Fly Ash
Flour
Grains
Plant Floor Dusts
Graphite
Ink Mists |

Insecticides
Lime
Plastic Powders
Metal Dusts
Mineral Fibers
Oil Mists
Paper Dust
Rubber Dust

Efficiency on AC Fine Dust per Automotive Engineers Air Cleaner
Test Code J726b. Particle distrobution of AC Fine Dust (by
weight) is:
0-5 microns......39%
5-10 microns.....18%
10-20 microns....16%
20-40 microns....18%
40-80 microns.....9%

Replacement and Life
Both filters
are inexpensive to replace and may be re-used by vacuuming
or soaking in warm soapy water and rinsing.
Based on field usage and our estimates, average life of 6-12
moonths can be expected, depending on the quanity of dust
in the area.
Capacity
As a general "rule of thumb" size your
ELECTRA-KOOL by the cubic foot capacity of the enclosure:
- 150C - to 25 cu. ft.
- 500C - 26 to 200
- 1000A - 201 to 500
Multiple
units can be used on larger enclosures and when enclosures
are "compartmentized".
FILTER/BLOWER
UNITS ARE LOW-COST INSURANCE AGAINST BREAKDOWNS!
