Pfree enclosure thermal management and cooling products CD
Released 15 August 2003

The latest Pfannenberg PC-based free thermal calculation software is now available on CD; a very powerful tool, it enables engineers to calculate the cooling and heating requirements for an electrical or electronic enclosure. It automatically offers the best solution using Pfannenberg's range of filter fans, heat exchangers and air conditioners; if heaters are required to prevent the internal temperature falling below the dew point during periods of low temperature, the program will also select the appropriate cabinet heater. The CD also contains the latest version of the company's thermal management products catalogue in PDF format, giving full technical information and dimensioned drawings of the products recommended by the thermal management software.

The software is easy to use. Maximum and minimum ambient and internal temperatures are entered, as is the maximum expected relative humidity. Users then either choose the enclosure from a supplied database, or enter their own values for size and dissipation. The effects of changing the enclosure material from steel to stainless steel, aluminium or plastic can be easily seen, as can the effects of wall mounting or baying the enclosures into suites.

The thermal load to be dissipated can either be calculated automatically from predefined settings for circuit breakers, fuses, lamps, power supplies and other common components, it can be entered as an overall figure or the permissible load with or without assisted cooling can be calculated in reverse by defining the acceptable temperature excursions.
