Keeping electronic equipment cool - a pragmatic approach for anyone involved with set work

Keeping electronic equipment cool - a pragmatic approach for anyone involved with set work

Who knew it mattered? Well, looking after equipment is important if you consider that for every 18F (10C) rise above normal room temperature (72F, 22C) the life expectancy of electronic components is halved – and we all know that equipment cooling is something that is often forgotten or ignored, especially when computers and monitors are built into set work for exhibits and trade shows. 

This article intends to give a few hints on what is likely to be a good way to cool equipment – and rather than trying to solve it using maths and physics, we’ll see how far we can get by just looking at a few common sense ideas.

I’m sure most of us have seen systems where someone ended up putting a desk fan inside a cabinet in the hope that ‘stirring the air’ would take care of overheating problems… and for those that would try that approach, there’s usually a nasty surprise coming unless there is a heat exchanger somewhere in the system to actually get rid of the heat from the cabinet.

There is some solid and simple to implement advice here that will help your clients save money and keep you out of trouble - click anywhere here to see the full article!
