Protective Enclosures: The Challenges With Their Safety

Observed by various control panel manufacturers, it is with the changes that each industry is going through in this era, to reach heights of success with their products and services, somewhere the importance of control panels is lost. As one walks around an industry, it shall be observed that the designs of control panels are the same as they were a decade or two ago. The IPanel, by INTEGRA Engineering India Limited, has changed the scenario in the enclosure industry with its modular and lightweight design. One of the most critical things while considering the installation of a control panel is to calculate the safety it shall provide to its users. One of these includes the need for panels to be blast-proof. Bent-metal and thermoplastic can be easily damaged or broken due to high-pressure waves. Adhering to the current trend in the industry, IPanels have been optimized to effectively and efficiently store electrical equipment required by various industries. Covered by safety standards, the design keeps evolving to suit consumer needs. Dealing with harsh climates and difficulties that the industrial environment throws at it is a crucial part of designing a better enclosure.

Any electrical panel manufacturer will advise that the cooling systems for enclosures should be such that the electrical equipment never succumbs to the pressure or heat. Passive cooling is the way to go. The demand for the same has increased drastically, and it has proven to be quite effective. The performance of the system, along with the technology used for passive cooling, has also improved since its humble beginning. The belief that passive cooling is only suitable for arid climates, because of the large difference between temperatures during day and night, needs to be changed. There are new systems, hybrid ones, that only need small pumps to chill the water. The point being, new techniques can be employed to reduce the size of various environmental protection systems. The world is going wireless, and so are the electrical equipment used in various industries. New panel enclosures like the one by control panel manufacturer in India, IPanel, can house new generation equipment and wireless field instruments. This enables users to extend the use of these appliances as well. The enclosures shall also house the antennas of the wireless equipment. Another concern that is faced by industrialists is that they miss out on positioning the equipment in such a way that the heating system is below the dew point, whereas it should have been above it. Now, in this condition, the contents of the enclosure are left without protection against the freezing temperatures outside (if the location is such). ÂŠ INTEGRA ENGINEERING INDIA LTD.
