Heat pipes keep enclosures cooler

Cooling electronics and telecommunications equipment can be done efficiently without any ingress of external contaminants and without any active cooling using an Encooler from SPC.

Cooling electronics and telecommunications equipment can be done efficiently without any ingress of external contaminants and without any active cooling using an Encooler from SPC.

The Encooler uses heat pipe technology to provide high performance passive cooling, maintaining a steady internal temperature while also maintaining the electronics enclosure's seal against dust and moisture.

An Encooler achieves high heat-transfer rates entirely by internal fan-powered air circulation.

The heat pipe technology removes heat from the enclosed equipment by passive means.

A phase-change liquid within the heat pipe absorbs heat energy and evaporates when warm air in the enclosure passes across the fins that surround it.

This air is therefore cooled within the enclosure.

The vapour rises within the pipe to an external chamber where cooler ambient air causes it to condense and dissipate its energy to the surrounding air.

The continuous cycle of evaporation and condensation within the sealed heat pipe maintains a steady internal temperature within the enclosure.

The system is entirely self-contained and no air enters the equipment enclosure.

The only moving parts are the long-life fans so SPC's Encoolers have low energy consumption, low maintenance and long-life.

Each Encooler is custom made by SPC to fit the specific application with its own unique set of design conditions.

They can be roof mounted, or side mounted, and provide heat extraction rates from 300W to 4000W.
