In industrial control panels on machinery, ensuring proper thermal management and effective protection against dust and contaminants is essential to guarantee the optimal operation and longevity of electrical components. In this context, filter fans are often the most cost-effective cooling solution. However, in specific or harsh environments, the standard protection degree may not be sufficient, making it advisable to provide additional device to prevent the ingress of harmful external agents.
Fandis MRH series hose-proof protection hoods: an effective solution
To meet these needs, Fandis has developed the new MRH series hose-proof protection hoods. Made of RAL 7035 powder-coated steel, these hoods, when combined with a Fandis filter fan or filter, can increase the protection level of an electrical enclosure up to IP56 and UL Type 4. This means that internal components will be protected from both solid objects and strong water jets, ensuring superior reliability even in the most challenging environmental conditions.
Maximum protection for the Food & Beverage industry
For applications that require even higher hygiene standards, such as in the Food & Beverage industry, Fandis also offers the MRH hose-proof protection hoods in an AISI 304 stainless steel version. This variant meets UL Type 4X protection standards and features an FDA-certified gasket, specifically designed to ensure hygiene and safety even in environments subject to strict cleaning protocols, such as frequent washing with aggressive cleaning agents.
Ideal for outdoor applications
The MRH series hoods are particularly recommended for increasing the protection level of enclosures installed outdoors. Adverse weather conditions, such as rain, snow, wind, and dust, can compromise the efficiency of electrical components. Adopting additional protection helps minimize the risk of failures and extends the system’s operational lifespan.
Easy installation
The MRH hoods have been designed for easy installation. The MRH support can be quickly centered around the perimeter of the filter fan or filter and is secured to the enclosure wall with four screws. Additionally, the application of the gasketed cover is simplified thanks to a special positioning guide integrated into the support.
Protection and performance
Another key advantage of the MRH hoods is their ability to protect components without significantly affecting the pressure drop of the entire ventilation system. This means that system efficiency remains high, while overall reliability improves and maintenance costs are reduced.
Suitable for any filter fan
The new MRH series hose-proof protection hoods are available for all filter and filter fan sizes, providing a versatile, effective solution with a sleek design. Protecting electrical components without compromise is now easier than ever!
