Hot tips for cool enclosures
When it comes to cooling enclosures, it's time to think inside the box. Filter fans are best for applications with relatively clean ambient air and ambient temperatures lower than the desired internal enclosure temperature. They are generally available in sizes from 12 to 680 cfm. Air-to-air heat

Air movers and coolers
as cooling. For a discussion of heat exchangers, see When fans are used to cool enclosures, they either draw air through the cabinet, or move it through an air-to-air heat exchanger. Although heat exchangers do not mix inside with outside air, they do pass heat to the environment. However, the technique
