Why are heating and/or cooling necessary inside control cabinets?

Meanwhile, we speak about control cabinet climate control instead of control cabinet heating:

Heating and/or cooling. This includes temperature control, control of humidity, and also combined control of temperature and humidity.

Varied fields of application show that this subject is not only prevailing with regard to control cabinets: Control cabinets, automation, traffic and motor vehicle technologies, telecommunication, switching and control systems, control cabinet distributor systems, switch room displays in power plants, in mining and in shipbuilding, applications in the municipal facilities sector, in the chemical industry, in general enclosure technology, cranes, wind engines, large weighing machines, etc., in other words anywhere, where sensitive, sometimes highly complicated circuitry needs to be protected against condensation water.

Heating / cooling improves the fail-safe quality of your installations and just enables proper functioning. Condensation water may result from temperature fluctuations, temperatures dropping below dew point temperature, or from temperature differences between inside and outside temperature.

Moisture may cause corrosion and also creeping currents in connection with the generation of dust.

By utilizing heating / cooling systems you will achieve:
• Protection against condensation water
• Frost protection
• Compensation of heat fluctuations
• A stable ambient temperature for the technical equipment installed
• Protection of components against generation of dew
• Formation of heat pockets is avoided by permanent convection
• No falling below or exceeding of temperatures permissible for the installed components!

In the sector of control cabinet heaters, we offer two different heating principles

We also offer a wide product range in the field of control systems and sensors:
