Patented System Protects Electronics from Water Damage

Pfannenberg, a worldwide leader in thermal management and signaling technology, just launched the new DTT Series. Units feature patented condensate technology which protects electronics housed in enclosures from exposure to moisture and are available in three sizes with performance ranges from 1,200 to 14,000 Btu/h, for a total of 6 new models. These units excel in tight spaces or in enclosed narrow rows.

The innovative was crafted with divergent features that safely route or entirely keep out the building of condensation, thus the electronics from harm. Unlike other models, the cold internal temperature reduction circuit is placed above the warm external circuit. This forestalls large temperature differences from happening between the surfaces of the cooling unit and inclosure - eliminating the possibility of condensate forming on the roof of the enclosure and dribbling down onto crucial electronics.

Condensate instead builds at the top of the unit and is pushed to an active consolidated condensate evaporator, stock to all Pfannenberg units, which operates a heating element to vaporize condensate. This also prevents the need for a vessel to harbour stagnate condensate, and the time and manpower to clean it. Also in this conception, the evaporator and the cold air passage are by nature insulated from the warming air of the unit, preventing condensation. Lastly, the DTT does away with the requirement of an air channeling duct by utilizing high functioning fans to create specific air channels and the resulting increase in air speed to ensure cold air is routed to the bottom of the enclosure, aiding regular convection.

The new DTT models also offer ease of installation and function. Tool-free installation (with the optional quick-mount frame) and easy access for filter or fuse replacement means no downtime of machines and greater cost savings. DTT models are environmentally friendly providing an estimated 20% energy efficiency improvement due to the streamlined design and use of more efficient components, as well as main parts constructed of recyclable material.

Pfannenberg fosters a creative culture, and directs and produces many diverse cooling unit models. By sustaining electronics in enclosures from overheating, Pfannenberg supplies an priceless service to companies, their machinery and processes consistently functional. By developing and creating products which are intended to save energy and additional resources, Pfannenberg operates by their business philosophy - “Safety for man, machine and the environment.”
