Summary of EXAIR VIDEO: Protect Sensitive Electronics from Overheating
### Summary In hot factory conditions, overheating control panels can cause faulty readings, tripped breakers, and damaged circuit boards. Opening enclosure doors to use fans is unsafe and violates OSHA regulations due to shock hazards and exposure to dirty air. To prevent downtime and equipment damage, the article recommends using EXAIR Cabinet Coolers as a safe solution for cooling sensitive electronics without compromising safety or cleanliness.
Parts used in the Cabinet Cooler Project:
- Cabinet Cooler
- Sensitive circuitry
- Control panels

Summers heat continues to bake most of the United States. In hot factory conditions, it is vital to protect workers from dangerous heat stress. A workers equipment can experience heat related problems as well. Overheating can cause faulty instrument readings, tripped breakers, and fried circuit boards. To cool control panels down, it may be tempting to simply open the enclosure door and turn on a fan but this will only create a new set of problems. The fan will blow hot, humid, dirty factory air onto sensitive circuitry. The open panel door is also an OSHA violation because of the shock hazard it creates in the workplace.
To avoid costly downtime and long term damage to sensitive circuitry, EXAIR offers a complete line of Cabinet Cooler
- Why should I not open control panel doors to cool them?
Opening the door creates an OSHA violation due to shock hazards and allows hot, humid, dirty air onto sensitive circuitry. - What problems does overheating cause in factories?
Overheating can lead to faulty instrument readings, tripped breakers, and fried circuit boards. - How do Cabinet Coolers help workers?
They protect workers from dangerous heat stress and prevent equipment failure in hot factory conditions. - What happens if I use a fan inside an open enclosure?
The fan blows hot, humid, dirty factory air directly onto sensitive circuitry, causing potential damage. - What is the risk of leaving control panels uncooled?
It leads to costly downtime and long-term damage to sensitive circuitry. - Does opening a panel door violate safety rules?
Yes, it is an OSHA violation because it creates a shock hazard in the workplace.
