Calculation of temperature control in enclosures

Whats needed:
1. The dimensions of the enclosure (Height, Width, Depth) [m]
2. The enclosure position (e.g. single enclosure, enclosure in a row) according to calculation formula, enclosure surface area A [m]
3. The enclosure material (metal, plastic) heat transfer coefficient from table, k [W/m 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) T [K=Kelvin]
5. The stray power (self-warming) of all installed components during operation (e.g. transformers, relays, semiconductors) Pv [W]
Calculation and selection of parameters: enclosure surface area - heat transfer coefficient - temperature difference
1. Enclosure surface area from dimensions

Calculation
2. Enclosure position (plan view) according to VDE 0660 part 500 Formula for cabinet surface area A [m]
(H = Height W = Width D = Depth)
Single enclosure free on all sides A = 1.8 x H x ( W + D ) + 1.4 x W x D
Single enclosure, wall mounted A = 1.4 x W x ( H + D ) + 1.8 x D x H
First or last enclosure in free standing row A = 1.4 x D x ( H + W ) + 1.8 x W x H
First or last enclosure in wall mounted row A = 1.4 x H x ( W + D ) + 1.4 x W x D
Middle enclosure in free standing row A = 1.8 x W x H + 1.4 x W x D + D x H
Middle enclosure in wall mounted row A = 1.4 x W x ( H + D ) + D x H
Middle enclosure in wall mounted row with covered top A = 1.4 x W x H + 0,7 x W x D + D x H

Example: enclosure free on all sides, 2000mm high / 800mm wide / 600mm deep. A = 1.8 x 2.0 x (0.8 + 0.6) + 1.4 x 0.8 x 0.6 = 5.712m
3. Enclosure material and its heat transfer coefficient k [W/m K] 4. Temperature difference T [K=Kelvin]

Steel sheet, painted k ~ 5.5W/m K T = Ti - Tu


Steel sheet, stainless k ~ 4.5W/m K
Aluminium k ~ 12W/m K i.e. the temperature difference between the interior and exterior temperatures
Aluminium, double-walled k ~ 4.5W/m K
Polyester k ~ 3.5W/m K
CALCULATION FORMULA FOR REQUIRED HEATING PERFORMANCE (HEATER):
Required heating performance PH [W] = enclosure surface area A [m] x heat transfer coefficient k [W/m K] x temperature difference T [K]
Example: W = 5.712m x 5.5W/m K x 15K = 471.24W
Result: Heater with 500W heating performance is required. If enclosure is situated outdoors the calculated heating performance must be doubled!

Enclosure surface area m


5. In the case of continuous stray power Pv [W] (self-warming) this must be deducted from the calculated heating performance.

CHOOSE REQUIRED COOLING PERFORMANCE FROM DIAGRAM:

OR CALCULATE USING FORMULA FOR REQUIRED COOLING PERFORMANCE (FILTER FAN):


Stray Power Pv (W)

installed stray power Pv [W]


Required air volume V [m/h] = x air constant f* [3.3m K/Wh]
temperature difference T [K]

Example: V= 600W x 3.3m K/Wh = 132m/h


15K

*f (0-100) = 3.1m K/Wh, f (100-250) = 3.2m K/Wh, f (250-500) = 3.3m K/Wh,


f (500-750) = 3.4m K/Wh, f (750-1000) = 3.5m K/Wh Air volume (m/h)
