What is conduction:
Energy (or heat) is diffuses in the opaque solid material by direct contact.
The energy diffuses inside a material depends of his conductivity


Example:
A plate length 1m (block.2) in perfect
contact with a block heater (block 1)
whose power is 50W. How does the
heat diffused if:

1 The block.2 is in steel

What is the convection (Air convection):
The heat is transferred inside the air or between the surface of a solid and the air

Convection Air displacement Heat transfer

Two types of displacement by convection:
Displacement by natural convection:







Displacement by forced convection:
- Forced convection is caused by an artificial circulation of the air fan
- The forced convection transfer is better than natural one
- A fan is characterised by his debit m

Installation trends
Most important factors that make thermal management increasingly more
necessary
Temp.
Technological evolution of electrical and
electronic equipment
Miniaturisation of components
New products based on power electronics
Trend towards the optimisation of space in
enclosures
More extreme/severe climatic environments
where the most advanced technology is installed.
They oblige us to talk about THERMAL PROTECTION in electrical
enclosures.
Schneider Electric 24 - Universal Enclosures Training Course Thermal Management 26.02.2009
Why is it necessary to control the
temperature/humidity?
In enclosures where no thermal management system has been applied:
Te
Te < T1 < T2 < T3 < T4

The temperature inside the enclosure is
always higher than the outside.
The inside temperature (Ti) of the enclosure is
not even. The top areas will always be hotter
than the bottom ones.
The walls and roof of the enclosure will
always be at an intermediate temperature
between the inside temperature and the
outside temperature (Te).
The roof the enclosure will be at a higher
temperature than that of the vertical walls.

Electrical components are also
affected. Their characteristics and
service life are also related to the
operating temperature.

Abrupt temperature changes inside the
environment of the enclosure can
cause Thermal stress on the
components installed.

Installation tips
Pay special attention to
minimum clearances
The cold air of group A is
aspired by the inlet of group
B.
The thermostat of B stops
the compressor and stops
cooling:
The two air outputs
crash, and this reduced
output impairs
performance
The hot air (output) enters
the second group.
Loss of performance or
shutdown if Te>55C
Correct installation

Installation tips
In small spaces the renovation of the ambient air is indispensable.
Otherwise, ambient temperatures 55C could easily be reached and the
group would shut down
Schneider Electric 102 - Universal Enclosures Training Course Thermal Management 26.02.2009

Installation tips
The lack of sealing in the enclosure
reduces performance and increases
water condensation in the evaporator.

Concepts
Discharge temperature Td = 90C is the temperature of the coolant at the
compressor outlet.
Condensation temperature Tc = 48C is the temperature involved in the
change of state in the condenser.
Subcooling liquid temperature Tls= 43C is the output temperature of
the coolant in the condenser.
Subcooling is the difference between the condensation and subcooled
liquid temperature: T= 48-43 = 5C
Evaporation temperature Te= 7C is the temperature at which the
change of state in the evaporator is verified.
Suction temperature Ta=14C is the temperature of the coolant in the
compressor inlet.
Reheating is the difference in the evaporation and coolant temperature at
the compressor inlet: T= Tse-Te= 11-7=4C

How do we help to evacuate the water
from the resulting condensation?
The water from the evaporator cassette
(only in roof models) runs off and is
collected in the condensation water
deposit.
The output temperature of the high-
pressure circuit of the condenser (90C)
is leveraged to help us to evaporate the
water stored.

Expansion: expansion or capillary valve
Capillary: hole that permits the expansion of the coolant liquid but does
not permit regulation of the output that enters the evaporator.
Thermostatic expansion valve: hole that permits the expansion of the
coolant liquid and the regulation of the output that enters the evaporator.
Expansion translates into:
a drop from high to low pressure
a temperature drop.
It is always placed at the evaporator inlet.

Schneider Electric 171 - Universal Enclosures Training Course Thermal Management 26.02.2009
Evaporator
It is the cold generating element
It is a heat exchanger that cools the air that crosses its fins.
Main functions:
cool the air that enters the enclosure
dry the air
The coolant liquid is vaporised, absorbing the heat from the air that crosses
it. On cooling the air, its capacity to contain humidity falls, whereby the
condensation takes place on the fins.
It is inseparable from the capillary valve or the expansion valve.

EER and COP
Energy efficiency ratio
Full load (the greater the better)
In order to respect and take care of the environment, save energy to reduce emissions of CO2 and comply with the agreements of the Kyoto
Protocol, the European Union regulates the labelling of all air conditioning equipment. The energy efficiency label informs about the energy
consumption of air-conditioning equipment, and they are classified in seven different categories: from A to G, identified by a colour code. The
units that consume less energy are in category A, and those that consume most are in category G.
The EER Energy Efficiency Ratio coefficient
measures energy efficiency in the production of
cold air.

R12 and R134a

R12 or dichlorofluoromethane is part of the family of the
chlorofluorocarbons (CFC)



R134a or tetrafluoroethane is part of the
hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) family

Schneider Electric 183 - Universal Enclosures Training Course Thermal Management 26.02.2009
Cooling Units


Characteristics
R12
Used for a long time for air-
conditioning automobiles.
It can be mixed with other chemical
components (oils).
Its evaporation heat is high.
It changes state at low pressures.
Its evaporation temperature is
suitable for air-conditioning.
R134a
It replaced the R12 since the end of
1993.
It can be mixed with other chemical
components (oils)
Its evaporation heat is high.
It changes state at low pressures.
Its evaporation temperature is
suitable for air-conditioning.
It does not destroy the ozone layer.
Schneider Electric 184 - Universal Enclosures Training Course Thermal Management 26.02.2009
Cooling Units
Production of the R12 ceased in 1994


It seriously damages the ozone layer.

Above 150C it releases lethal gas, mustard gas.

Prohibition of its sale in October 2000 and of its use in January 2001.


Schneider Electric 185 - Universal Enclosures Training Course Thermal Management 26.02.2009
Cooling Units
R12 / R134a
The R12 and the R134a are incompatible with each other, so they should
never be mixed.
In the presence of water, both are corrosive.
The oils are specific for each liquid.
The size of the R134a molecule is smaller than the R12's, so it is more
prone to leaks.

Environmental effects
CFC (R12) liquids cause the destruction of the Ozone layer

The Chlorine molecule contained in these liquids reacts with the Ozone
molecule in the high layers of the atmosphere.

The Ozone layer is a protective shield against the sun's ultraviolet rays.

The HFC (R134a) liquids are gases that contribute to the greenhouse
effect.

Gases with the greenhouse effect prevent the sun rays from re-exiting the
atmosphere and contribute to global warming.

Environmental effects

Cooling liquids should always be recovered after an intervention in the air-
conditioning circuit.

Either by storing the liquid in a container specifically provided for if the
liquid is used or polluted.

This operation should be done by a specialised company.

Or else recycling or recovering it if the liquid is new.

How many air-conditioners to install in a set of enclosures?
A set of enclosures without separation walls should be calculated as
if it were a single enclosure whose width dimension is the sum of
widths.
In large widths (on average, sets with a total width in excess of 4m) there
is no single solution:
A single air-conditioner (side or roof)
2 or more air-conditioners (side or roof) distributed in the enclosure.

Advantages of installing more than one group
Greater uniformity of the inside temperature
If one of the parts fails the rest continue to
operate.
Better thermal behaviour.
Disadvantages of installing more than
one group
The cost is higher
Electrical consumption is higher
Maintenance is costlier

What is important in an air/air exchanger?
Exchange cassette: the exchange of energy between the
air inside and outside the enclosure takes place through
the aluminium walls.
The ease of disassembly, and particularly the design of
the exchange cassette with aluminium sheets separated
at a distance that renders cleaning problem-free, makes
our heat exchanger the only one on the market that
really works.

becomes a noise-making machine that does not cool

An exchanger's performance is not a constant, it depends on three
parameters:
Water temperature used for its operation.
Water output, the greater the output the better the performance.
Temperature required inside the enclosure. The greater the
temperature the better the performance.

Each manufacturer indicates them according to their own criterion.

Special attention should be paid to the cooling power
