Calculation

Calculation of temperature control in enclosures

What's needed:

  1. The dimensions of the enclosure (height, width, depth) (m)
  2. The enclosure position (e.g. single enclosure, enclosure in row) according to calculation formula, enclosure surface area A (m²)
  3. The enclosure material (metal, plastic) heat transfer coefficient from table, k (W/m² K)
  4. The temperature difference between desired enclosure interior temperature TI (°C) and the expected ambient temperature Tu (°C) (e.g. day - night, summer - winter, climate zones) ΔT (K=Kelvin)
  5. The stray power (self-warming) of all installed components during operation (e.g. transformers, relays, semiconductors) Pv (W)
