A thermal audit quickly identifies problem areas and offers compelling evidence of excess heat that can affect performance and potentially damage your critical equipment. Benefits include extending operational life, preventing failure, sustaining productivity, and maintaining equipment warranties.

From now until September 30, 2021, nVent Hoffman is offering free thermal audits to help you identify and solve climate control problems in your enclosures.

A thermal audit quickly identifies problem areas and offers compelling evidence of excess heat that can affect performance and potentially damage your critical equipment. Keeping your electronics cool is essential to maximizing the life cycles of your electronic devices, reducing capital expenses, and keeping your business running. Heat can have a significant impact on electronics by reducing performance, causing damage, and affecting manufacturer warranties. 

What does a thermal audit include?

Enclosure Inspection

A Hoffman specialist will identify and inspect every enclosure and cooling unit in your facility as well as analyze the environment. 

Thermal Analysis

The specialist will then take an in-depth look inside your enclosures to identify problematic electronics and components. 

Recommendations

Finally, after an audit is conducted, a personalized report will provided for all the enclosures with solution recommendations.

Sources of Damaging Heat

Heat can be generated internally by electronic components and intensified by external sources. Inside a cabinet, uncooled components can generate as much trapped heat as a home furnace. 

AC power supplies

Controllers, drives, and servos

Transformers and rectifiers

Processors and server racks

Radio equipment

Heat is also generated from sources outside the enclosure such as: 

Solar heat gain

High ambient temperature

Welding processes

Paint oven

Blast furnace

Foundry equipment
