Industrial Temperature and Humidity Control for Electrical Enclosures

Temperature and humidity control is very important for electrical enclosures and electrical panels. Due to the overheating and condensation within electrical enclosure or electrical panels, electrical enclosures and electrical panels need cooling or heating to manage the internal climate to mitigate risks of internal equipment failure. Meanwhile, the new EN 61349-1 standard for LV switchgear and control gear assemblies request the limits for average over-temperature values and the maximum values of relative humidity, which means you need to temperature and humidity control for your electrical enclosures and electrical panels. This article will introduce three industrial temperature and control solutions for electrical enclosures and electrical panels.

Temperature and Humidity Control with Blue Jay Electrical panel cooling systems

Blue Jay offers three types of thermal humidity control products for electrical enclosures and electrical panels. All Blue Jay temperature and humidity controllers are suitable for use with a range of heating and cooling products such as enclosure heater or enclosure fan. In other word, the Blue Jay electrical panel cooling system is a integration of enclosure thermostats and hygrostats. It is stand out because of the following features:

Automatic Temperature and Humidity Regulation: The Blue Jay electrical panel cooling system continuously monitors the temperature and humidity inside the enclosure and adjusts them automatically based on pre-set parameters, ensuring that the environment remains stable without the need for manual intervention.

Multiple Operating Modes: You can choose between heating or fan-cooling modes to meet different temperature and humidity conditions.

Data Visualization and Remote Monitoring: The temperature and humidity controller is equipped with a clear LED or LCD display, which shows real-time temperature and humidity data. It also supports remote monitoring via an RS485 communication interface, making it ideal for applications requiring remote management.

High Accuracy and Fast Response: The temperature accuracy of Blue Jay temperature and humidity control for electrical enclosures is within ±1℃ and humidity accuracy is within ±5%. With a response time of less than 1 second, it can quickly adapt to environmental changes.

Efficient temperature & humidity control

By utilizing the Blue Jay temperature and humidity control for electrical enclosures and electrical panels, you can achieve precise control over the temperature and humidity inside your electrical enclosures, minimizing the risk of equipment failure due to environmental factors. Moreover, Blue Jay temperature and humidity control products are manufactured to the highest quality in China.

Temperature and Humidity Control with Enclosure Thermostat（for Heater/for fan/for heater&fan)

Enclosure thermostats are another effective tool for controlling the temperature within electrical enclosures. How does the enclosure thermostat work for your temperature and humidity control? The enclosure thermostat senses the temperature inside the enclosure based on a set point, which is the minimum or maximum temperature the enclosure should maintain. When temperature within electrical enclosures and electrical panels is over or low the set point, the enclosure thermostat will turn enclosure fans or heaters on and off.

As for the the enclosure thermostats, here are three types including thermostat for heaters, thermostat for fans, and thermostat for heater and fan. Just choose right one based on your applications.

With the uses of enclosure thermostats, you could enjoy energy efficiency and enhance lifespan of electronic components. The enclosure thermostats only works when the heating and cooling system is necessary. According to maintain the stable internal temperature, it can reduce the equipment failure from overheating or over-cooling.

Temperature and Humidity Control with Enclosure Hygrostats

Enclosure hygrostats are very useful in the high humidity environment. The enclosure hygrostst senses the relative humidity within electrical enclosures and electrical panels. When the relative humidity exceeds the set point, it trips the heater working. According to the temperature raising by the heater, the relative humidity will be reduced to avoid condensation. Typically, enclosure hygrostats are set to maintain relative humidity levels between 70-75%.

Conclusion

Effective temperature and humidity control in industrial electrical enclosures is critical to ensuring the reliable performance of equipment. Solutions like the Blue Jay Digital Thermostat and Humidity Controller, combined with thermostats and hygrostats, offer comprehensive climate control, protecting electrical enclosures from environmental challenges. By selecting the right solution based on the specific needs of the enclosure, industrial facilities can extend the lifespan of their equipment and ensure continuous operation even in harsh environments.
