4 Ways to Protect Your Sensitive Electronic Equipment During Extreme Heat and Severe Weather

It’s official. 2023 was the warmest year on record, according to Climate.gov.

They write, “According to the 2023 Global Climate Report from NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, every month of 2023 ranked among the 7 warmest for that month, and the months in the second half of the year (June-December) were each their hottest on record. In July, August, and September, global temperatures were more than 1.0°C (1.8°F) above the long-term average—the first time in NOAA’s record any month has breached that threshold.”

Based on this trend, and the extreme heat we’re already seeing in 2024, we wanted to share some tips for protecting your mission-critical, sensitive electronics.

1. Install a quality Thermoelectric Air Conditioner

Thermoelectric air conditioners can help cool your sensitive electronics by removing heat from the enclosure and circulating cold air within the enclosure, perfect for electronic cabinets and computer enclosures. Not only will an EIC Solutions’s ThermoTEC™ Thermoelectric Air Conditioners protect your enclosures from extreme temperatures and moisture, but they are also resistant to dust, corrosion and vibration. Thermoelectric Air Conditioners don’t contribute to greenhouse gas emissions because they don’t use any CFC’s, Freon, compressors, or gasses, making it a smart choice for our environment. See how Thermoelectric Air Conditioners are a reliable option in high ambient temperatures, and talk to one of our engineers today about our expediting program.

 

 

2. Manage your Condensation

Condensation is a completely natural part of the cooling process. As the air conditioner cools, it will begin to dry the air within the enclosure and the moisture in the air will condense within the air conditioner. While it is a completely normal process, without proper management condensation can cause serious damage to housed equipment. Drip pans are designed to collect the condensate, and then routes it out of the pan. Learn more about condensation management.

 

 

 

3. Manage the climate with a Digital Temperature Controller

Keep your temperature consistent with the help of a digital temperature controller. By installing a remote-mounted, ultra-compact controller, you can take control of your temperature within 1° F of the desired set point.

 

 

 

 

4. Protect Your Units During Summer Storms

 

Violent summer thunderstorms tend to go hand in hand with temperature spikes. Rain shrouds provides an additional element of protection for your electronics against rain, sand, and dirt.

As we continue to feel the wrath of the blistering summer weather, make sure your electronics are protected from the elements too. Not sure how much cooling you need?
