Filter Ventilator (Ventillation) Systems from Electra Kool
Forcefully ventilate, cool & dust-proof electric enclosures
- reduce production downtime!
- stop manufacturing losses!
- shrink maintenance labor costs!
- improve reliability of controls!
- minimize replacement parts cost!
Use an Electra Kool Filter Ventilator Systems to insure reliability in your controls!
Modern SOLID-STATE controls function best at temperatures below 100ºF.
Heat generated by internal components can raise temperatures to objectionable levels, causing failure or automatic cut-outs to activate.
Dust also reduces the efficiency of heat sinks. CONTACT-TYPE controls are sensitive to fine dusts which build up over time and can cause shorts and other malfunctions. The results of heat and dust in your enclosure may cause EXPENSIVE PRODUCTION DOWN-TIME and MANUFACTURING LOSSES in addition to the costs of replacing and repairing parts.
An Electra Kool will upgrade existing air circulation equipment! Many enclosures have no ventilation other than louvres for heat release. Others have small fans or fans equipped with inexpensive panel-type filters to keep dust out.
LOW-POWERED fans may not have the capability to remove enough heat, especially when a filter is dirty. Because panel filters are not very noticeable, they are generally neglected, and the circulation of air suffers.
Panel-type filters of fiberglass, synthetic and metal mesh filter medias are not highly efficient on the bulk of the microscopic dust particles which cause problems. The filter area is generally small and they tend to clog quickly in dusty environments. Sometimes (especially in hot weather) doors may be opened to improve air circulation in the cabinet and/or fans may be placed in front of the opened doors. This is not only dangerous, but a direct violation of OSHA and plant safety standards. Electra Kool units are a low-cost answer to these problems!
Electra-Kools are less costly than air conditioners to purchase and run. They are less expensive than using compressed air to pressurize and do not form condensation internally. Because they are externally mounted and visible, any filter change is easily noticed. Both the pre-filter and main filter are cleanable and REUSEABLE and can be changed in LESS THAN A MINUTE!
The blowers are heavy-duty PRESSURE TYPES, not low-powered fans! If heat is not a problem, they can be used to PRESSURIZE cabinets to keep out dust! Lastly, Electra-Kools are PERFORMANCE GUARANTEED for your application!

Capacity
As a general "rule of thumb" size your ELECTRA-KOOL by the cubic foot capacity of the enclosure:
- 150C - to 25 cu. ft.
- 500C - 26 to 200
- 1000A - 201 to 500
FILTER/BLOWER UNITS ARE LOW-COST INSURANCE AGAINST BREAKDOWNS!
