Instrumentation shelters with a hybrid cooling system
Intertec-Hess
This company is introducing a new style of outdoor shelter for process plant applications, the Peri Shelter (photo), which features a cooling system based on a hybrid combination of unpowered passive and active powered technologies. This shelter provides a reliable operating environment for control, analyzer and instrumentation electronics. All system components that are required for normal operation are accessible via the building’s exterior. Panel-mounting enclosures on the exterior provide access to electrical connection and I/O termination points, as well as cooling systems. Touchscreen panels can also be fitted to external walls, allowing operators on the ground to monitor a control element, such as a PLC, or make adjustments to control programs locally via an inspection door. The shelters employ glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) materials that are very insulating and provide surface protection in extreme environments, including those with very high levels of ultraviolet (UV) light and abrasion from sand or dust.
