Cooling & Thermal Management
The enormous heat generated by modern computing infrastructure makes cooling one of the most critical systems in today’s data center. As rack densities increase and facilities adopt more advanced cooling technologies, the controls supporting these systems must remain protected and accessible around the clock.
Fibox enclosures can protect controls, instrumentation, sensors, disconnects and communications associated with chilled-water systems, pumps, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC equipment, heat exchangers and other mechanical infrastructure.
Our polycarbonate enclosures are well suited for equipment exposed to moisture, condensation, cleaning chemicals and corrosive outdoor environments. Unlike metal, polycarbonate will not rust and is electrically nonconductive. Its high impact resistance also helps protect sensitive components in busy mechanical rooms, equipment yards and rooftop installations.
Fibox enclosures can support a wide range of cooling-system applications, including:
- Pump and motor controls
- Temperature, humidity and pressure monitoring
- Flow-control and leak-detection systems
- Cooling-tower controls and instrumentation
- Chiller and heat-exchanger control panels
- Remote I/O and communications equipment
- Disconnect switches and local operator controls
- Building management system interfaces
- Water-treatment and filtration controls
- Liquid-cooling distribution and monitoring systems
With options including NEMA 4X protection, transparent covers, large enclosure sizes and custom machining, printing and assembly, Fibox helps data-center equipment manufacturers and system integrators create durable, installation-ready control solutions. Transparent-cover models can also provide quick visual access to displays, indicators and instrumentation without opening the enclosure and unnecessarily exposing equipment to the surrounding environment.
