5 Benefits of Passive Cooling Strategies in Electro-Mechanical Devices
If mechanical designers ruled the world, all rack-mounted equipment would be passively cooled. Why? There are five primary reasons: Eliminate moving parts that fail Decrease the cost of the equipment Eliminate rack room noise Decrease system downtime for maintenance Ensure warranty and longer product life These are the promises of passive cooling systems in rack-mounted equipment, and really, they lead to a win-win-win for manufacturers, integrators, and end users alike. To quickly define passive cooling, we’ll turn to Wikipedia: Passive cooling is a building design approach that focuses on heat gain control and heat dissipation in a building in order to improve the indoor thermal comfort with low or nil…
