PANEL COOLER
Panel Cooler also known as enclosure coolers or cabinet coolers, are devices used to regulate the temperature inside electrical control panels or enclosures. They help prevent overheating of sensitive electronic components by dissipating excess heat generated within the enclosure. Panel cooler typically utilize methods like forced air cooling, vortex tube cooling, or thermoelectric cooling to maintain optimal operating temperatures and ensure the reliable performance of electronic equipment.
