Will Your Pump and Equipment Enclosures Stand the Heat?

Not all process applications are the same. Throw in a hot environment, and things can get complicated, compromising the safety of your employees, equipment, and the environment. That’s why it’s crucial to stabilize the temperature of your chemicals inside your Pump and Equipment Enclosures.

Enclosures that house your pump and other equipment sometimes need a little extra help during the summer months to stay cool. During processing, as your pump generates heat, if not mitigated, the heat buildup can interfere with the operation of the equipment and control panels and even diminish the integrity of the process chemicals—all costly and affects to your bottom line.    

If you operate in a hot climate, keeping your chemical equipment cool in their enclosures can be a challenge in the summer. But not with Peabody Engineering’s compact digital air conditioner modules and circulation fans for our PCS-PLUS 2, PCS-PLUS 4 and PCS-PRO Enclosures. They provide and maintain control of the temperature for the chemical process equipment you are operating..

Air Conditioning

With three different models to choose from, each features an attractive industrial design with a galvanized sheet-metal cover and minimal use of visible fasteners, as well as a narrow footprint that accommodates compact attachment to your cabinets. Each uses a cleanable, reusable aluminum mesh filter that protects coils for maximum cooling performance. Other features include:

• Easy-mount flanges for simple installation.
• Two levels of corrosion protection.
• Dust-resistant condenser coil allows the unit to be run filterless in most applications.
• R134a earth-friendly refrigerants.
• And much more.

Circulation Fans

Our compact cooling fans are ideal for applications where enclosure space is limited and quiet, reliable cooling is needed. The fans are engineered for 50,000 hours of continuous operation without lubrication or service and can be installed on any surface of an enclosure. With the addition of accessory fan brackets, compact cooling fans can also be installed in any position inside the enclosure for spot cooling or air circulation. Each fan includes these standard features:

• Maximum operating temperature is 158 F (70 C).
• 4-in. fan is thermally protected and uses permanently lubricated ball bearings.
• 6- and 10-in. fans have ball-bearing construction and split-capacitor motors.
• Split-capacitor motors are thermally protected to avoid premature failure.
• Dynamically balanced impellers molded from polycarbonate material.
• 1 finger guard (additional guards available).
• And much more.

When you need to keep your chemical equipment cool this summer, Peabody Engineering has superior climate control options for our PCS-PLUS and PCS-PRO Enclosures. 

While summer is upon us, there’s no better time to plan ahead for the colder months to come. At Peabody Engineering, we also offer Heating Modules. The unique design draws cool air from the bottom of the enclosure and passes this air across the thermostat and heating element before being released into the enclosure cavity.
