December 15, 2008 - Hoffman announces the T1FLO Type 1 Vented Indoor Enclosure, an innovative thermal management solution that provides a built-in fan and filter to keep heat-sensitive drives and controls cool and protected. T1FLO features an active cooling ventilation system with a factory-installed fan (115 VAC), vent, filter and thermostat, saving significant time and costs over conventional modified - enclosure solutions. Traditionally, fan and filter packages involved more than a simple enclosure selection: customers first chose a suitable enclosure size, composition and style, then selected the appropriate fan and airflow for the application.
The modifications, installation and evaluation needed upon the enclosure’s completion made developing a complete solution an extensive - and expensive - process. Unlike competitive thermal packages, T1FLO delivers an off - the - shelf standard product with various airflow and enclosure size options available at the same price point - meeting a broad variety of applications with no cutting or fan installation and mounting required. Hoffman developed this uniquely standardized product to control internal enclosure temperatures in some of the most challenging plant environments, ensuring components such as drives, PLCs, power supplies and transformers can reside in the same enclosure without overheating.
T1FLO offers rugged 14 gauge steel construction for enhanced durability - with solid or perforated accessory panels available - and features a lift - off hinge door for simple component configuration. It comes standard with mounting holes, a terminal block power connection for the fan, external mounting feet options and a secure, slotted quarter - turn latch. T1FLO also meets strict UL, NEMA/EEMAC and CSA Type 1 industry standards. Applications. T1FLO continuously controls internal enclosure temperature to protect anything from PLCs to drive controls from the risk of overheating, making it an ideal solution for high - load applications with cohabiting technology.
In addition, several features of the T1FLO Type 1 Vented Indoor Enclosure make it particularly effective and easy to use:
- Removes heat with active cooling ventilation system
