EXAIR NEMA 12 (IP54) Cabinet Coolers (dust-tight, oil-tight) are ideal for general industrial environments where no liquids or corrosives are present. Dirt and dust resistant NEMA 12 continuous operation Cabinet Cooler® Systems are recommended when constant cooling and constant positive purge are desirable. Systems for continuous operation include a Cabinet Cooler and cold air distribution kit. NEMA 12 (IP54) Cabinet Coolers are available in many cooling capacities for large and small control panels. All Cabinet Coolers are UL Listed and CE compliant. They are a low cost, reliable way to cool and purge electronic control panels. EXAIR Cabinet Coolers incorporate a vortex tube to produce cold air from compressed air - with no moving parts. The compact Cabinet Cooler can be installed in minutes through a standard electrical knockout.

Accessories:
EXAIR's Side Mount Kits make mounting on the side of an electrical enclosure possible when there is limited space on the top or side. (NEMA 4 and 4X Cabinet Cooler Systems must be mounted vertically.) Side Mount Kits maintain the NEMA rating of large and small NEMA Type 12, 4, and 4X enclosures. they mount in a standard electrical knockout (1-1/2 NPS). Side Mount Kits for NEMA 12 Cabinet Cooler Systems have an aluminum construction. Those for NEMA 4 and 4X Cabinet Cooler Systems are Type 303 or Type 316 stainless steel.
