⚡️Fast Fact Friday⚡️: A Quick Look at Pfannenberg’s Cooling Solutions
More than half of electronics failures are linked to excessive heat — and Pfannenberg’s thermal management products are designed specifically to prevent that. Their cooling systems use closed-loop designs, high‑efficiency airflow, and robust NEMA/IP ratings to keep enclosures protected in clean, dirty, hot, or washdown environments.
Fast Fact:
Pfannenberg’s closed-loop cooling technologies (DTS, PKS, PWS) are engineered to seal out ambient air, protecting electronics from dust, humidity, corrosive gases, and airborne particulates.
Pfannenberg’s Cooling Portfolio at a Glance
❄️DTS Cooling Units (Closed-Loop Air Conditioners)
Seal out ambient air to protect electronics from dust, humidity, and contaminants.
Use hermetically sealed compressors for reliable cooling performance.
Available in NEMA Type 12/3R/4/4X for indoor, outdoor, and washdown environments.
High-temperature models operate up to 140°F (60°C).
Ideal when ambient air is too hot, dirty, or corrosive for passive cooling.
Closed-loop cooling using water as the transfer medium.
Provide high-capacity cooling independent of ambient temperature.
Commonly used to protect VFDs and electronics in corrosive or H₂S environments.
Pair with Pfannenberg EB Chillers for complete process + enclosure cooling solutions.
💨Filterfans® (Forced Convection Cooling)
Ideal when ambient air is cooler than the required enclosure temperature.
Assist natural convection and help eliminate hot spots.
Available with Rainhoods for NEMA 3R/4/4X outdoor or washdown protection.
Best for clean, non-hazardous environments with moderate heat loads.
Prevent condensation and stabilize internal temperatures in cold or fluctuating environments.
Support complete thermal management beyond cooling alone.
