Ready to Install AC Enclosures & Air Conditioners* It's never a prudent decision to take risks when equipment failure could lead to lost productivity. That’s why we provide commercial grade air conditioning solutions for critical equipment that can be threatened by dangerous over-heating from environmental extremes. In addition, our enclosure air conditioners arrive ready to install in your office, equipment room, data center, or industrial environment. You will never need to worry about keeping circulating air within the cabinet enclosure clean, dry, or cool. If you are retrofitting existing equipment enclosures, we offer an extensive selection of air to air heat exchangers with a variety of cooling capacities and mounting configurations. *NOTE: Dust Free PC can drop ship air conditioners directly to customers who choose to install air-to-air heat exchangers to their existing equipment enclosures themselves. Call 904-739-7201 for details. Based on the details for your specific installation, our air conditioners can be installed on the side or in the back of the cabinet as a free standing unit. Custom cabinets are configured to match your deployment and electrical requirements with the correct AC cooling capacity to meet your specific needs. Our NEMA-rated air conditioned enclosures are designed to fully protect workstation computers, blade servers, routers, barcode printers, and other critical workplace equipment. Moreover, all of our air conditioned computer enclosures are built from the highest industrial grade materials to provide excellent environmental protection for years of continuous operation. Dust Free PC Enclosures Are Built Industrial Tough Generally speaking, computers and other electronic equipment cannot survive on their own when exposed to extremely hot or cold processing spaces. If the ambient air is not enough to keep your equipment from melting down or freezing up in a busy work area, Dust Free PC heat-controlled or air conditioned computer enclosures are manufactured from the toughest materials to deliver the exact level of protection your equipment requires. For most industrial, business, and consumer applications, there are distinct advantages of machining products from ABS thermoplastics as compared to using metal alloys. In addition, our climate controlled enclosures feature industry-specific air conditioners, heaters, thermostats, and custom filters to protect against hazardous contaminants to keep equipment safe in any environment. Expensive computer equipment, thermal printers, LCD monitors and host of workplace peripherals can overheat inside of a sealed enclosure causing sensitive electronics to cease working or to dramatically slow down. Whether you need an air conditioned barcode printer enclosure, air conditioned server enclosure, air conditioned computer workstation enclosure, tabletop air conditioned enclosure or air conditioned NEMA rated enclosure, our dust-free cabinets are made in America and available in NEMA type 12, 4 and 4X and ratings of 1000 BTU/H or 2000 BTU/H. Each unit is equipped to deliver the temperature control needed to keep sensitive equipment at the optimum operating temperature with the right air conditioning for hot environments as well as the supplemental heating to prevent condensation in colder work conditions.
