Feature Summary

• Offers versatile installation options including top, side, and front mounting configurations for confined areas.
• Maintains environmental protection standards equivalent to UL/cUL Type 4, 4X, and 12 enclosures.
• Utilizes vortex cooling technology to keep internal components cool, clean, and protected.

Applications

• Cooling electrical enclosures in harsh industrial environments
• Thermal management for rack-mounted equipment requiring Type 4X protection
• Installation in confined spaces where flexible mounting orientation is required

Procurement Notes

Verify that the target enclosure meets UL/cUL Type 4, 4X requirements, as the cooler maintains these ratings only when properly installed on such enclosures. Confirm voltage compatibility with the 115V AC supply. Check dimensional constraints against the 6.44 x 9.44 x 5.56 inch footprint. Ensure the application environment supports the specified operating temperature range and noise limits.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring 5000 BTU cooling capacity with high environmental protection. The polycarbonate housing suits corrosive or washdown areas. Consider the 60-75 dB noise level for occupied spaces. Verify that the 115V AC power source is available. Compare dimensions against existing cutout sizes to ensure fitment without modification.

Part Context

This unit belongs to the Hoffman Quiet Vortex series, designed for thermal management in NEMA-rated enclosures. It replaces standard compressor-based coolers in scenarios requiring quieter operation and flexible mounting. The series emphasizes maintaining clean internal environments while providing robust protection against dust and water ingress.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. When replacing, verify that the new unit matches the 5000 BTU capacity, 115V AC input, and Type 4X rating. Dimensional compatibility with the existing enclosure cutout is critical for maintaining environmental seals.
