Controller Functions

The cooling unit is intended to be used as a complementary accessory to larger industrial equipment. The unit is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to protect heat- sensitive components. It is not intended for household use. The unit has two completely separate air circuits which ensure that the clean cabinet air does not come into contact with the ambient air which may well be dirty or polluted. Enclosure cooling units can dissipate large quantities of heat from sealed enclosures such as electrical enclosures into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the cabinet internal temperature to below that of the ambient air.
The unit can function without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air) with a standard operating temperature ranging between -40°C (-40°F) and +55°C (131°F). Units can be ordered with an additional electrical cabinet heater. For the cooling capacities and environmental ratings please refer to the type plate data.

Functional principle

The air conditioner for enclosures works on the basis of a refrigeration circuit consisting of four main components: compressor (1), evaporator (2), condenser (3), and expansion device (4).
The circuit is hermetically sealed and R134a refrigerant circulates inside it (R134a is chlorine-free and has an Ozone Destruction Potential [ODP] of 0 and a Global Warming Potential [GWP] of 1430). The compressor compresses the refrigerant (thus taking it to high pressure and high temperature) and pushes it through the condenser, where it is cooled by ambient air thus passing from the gas to the liquid state. At the liquid state, it then passes through the capillary pipe being a much lower pressure the refrigerant arrived at the evaporator where it absorbs the necessary heat to change from liquid to gas state. The gas is then drawn back into the compressor completing the cycle.
Condensation management
In environments with humidity and low internal enclosure temperatures, condensation may form on the evaporator coil. By default, the air conditioner has a drain socket towards the bottom of the unit for connection to the drain pipe.
In addition, the air conditioner units have an internal condensate evaporator based on a self-regulating PTC heater. Condensate is drained to an internal recipient where it evaporates when in contact with the heater surface. The resulting steam is directed towards the condenser. The PTC heater is permanently connected, and the condensate evaporator has an approximate evaporation capacity of 250ml/hr. The recipient has an overflow socket at the bottom of the unit.SCE-AC21160B460V3 Saginaw Control-

Mounting

Always disconnect the power supply before opening the unit.

The heat load to be dissipated from the enclosure should not exceed the specific cooling output of the unit at any condition. When selecting a cooling unit, always allow for a safety margin of at least 15% extra cooling output in the worst conditions. Air inlets and outlets must be completely free from obstruction.
Ensure that flows of air leaving and entering the cooling unit, internal and external, are not obstructed. The cooling unit enclosure air suction hole must be installed at the highest possible point. When installing the unit on a door ensure it can take the weight.
Before drilling the enclosure, ensure the fixing elements and couplings will not interfere with the equipment inside the enclosure itself. Disconnect power before starting any work inside the enclosure. Following this 1:1 Scale Drilling Template, drill the holes and make the required cuts on the enclosure. This template may have been affected by storage conditions, please check this template by verifying the values of the largest dimensions before drilling. Fit the sealing strip to the cooling unit on the side connected to the enclosure and follow the installation diagram.

Mounting Principle

  • Do not use within the first 15 minutes after installation!
  • Use only the supplied mounting hardware.
  • Tighten fasteners to 40-inch lb.
  • Ensure the mounting surface does not warp after assembly and reinforce it if necessary.SCE-AC21160B460V3 Saginaw Control-fig-10

Electrical Connection

The cooling unit is used where heat needs to be dissipated from electrical control cabinets or similar enclosures in order to protect heat-sensitive components. The unit has two completely separate air circuits which ensure that the clean cabinet air does not come into contact with the ambient air which may well be dirty or polluted. Control cabinet air conditioners can dissipate large quantities of heat from sealed enclosures, such as control cabinets, into the ambient air and at the same time reduce the cabinet internal temperature to below that of the ambient air.
The control cabinet air conditioner can function without problems in extreme ambient conditions (e.g. dusty and oily air) with a standard operating temperature ranging between -40°F and 131°F. The stated cooling capacities are according to DIN 3168.
Door Switch
The unit can be switched on and off via a door contact switch. When delivered the door contact terminals are bridged on the female connector. To connect the door contact switch, remove the bridge and connect the door contact switch. The contact must be closed when the cabinet door is closed.
It is possible to change the logic of the door switch (controller firmware rev. 1.2 or higher). This can be set by changing the value of parameter c68. Refer to the table below and section Controller: Setting temperature units (°C / °F), low-temperature alarm, door contact logic section for more information.

c68 = 0 (default)
ON if closed – Door contact terminals bridged, or NC door switch connected (contact must be closed when the cabinet door is closed)

c68 = 1
ON if open – Remove bridge, or NO door switch connected (contact must be open when the cabinet door is closed)

Alarm Contacts

Alarm contacts are rated according to:
EN60730-1 8(4)A N.O., 6(4)A N.C., 2(2)A N.O./ N.C. @ 250Vac 100000 cycles
UL 873 8A resistive 2FLA 12LRA, pilot duty C300 @ 250Vac 30000 cycles
These contacts are not suitable for fluorescent loads (neon lights, etc.) that use starters (ballasts) with phase-shifting capacitors. Fluorescent lamps with electronic controllers or without phase shifting capacitors can be used, depending on the operating limits specified for each type of relay.
Connect unit
Connect the cooling device according to the instructions below. The cable cross-section must correspond to the required power for the current consumption, but max. 2.5 mm² / AWG 14.SCE-AC21160B460V3 Saginaw Control-
fig-14

Taking Into Operation

Attention!
The unit can be damaged by a lack of lubricant. To ensure that the compressor is adequately lubricated, the oil, which has been displaced during transport, must be allowed to flow back into it. The unit must therefore be allowed to stand for at least 30 minutes before being connected to the mains and taken into operation. Upon connection, the internal fan will start working. If the temperature inside the enclosure is higher than the set value of the controller, both the compressor and external air fan start working. Once the air inside the enclosure reaches the set temperature, the compressor and external fan will stop.
The unit is pre-set at 95°F, which is suitable for most electronic devices.
If Drainage is required, use PVC 10mm (3/8 inch) ID Hose.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Always switch the power supply off before starting any maintenance on the unit.

Any repairs that may be needed must only be done by qualified personnel. The cooling unit is a low-maintenance type and for most environments, no filter is required. If an air filter is installed, check it periodically for dirt and clogs. Clean or replace the filter when necessary.
Disposal
The cooling unit contains R134a refrigerant and small quantities of lubricating oil. Replacement, repairs, and final disposal must be done according to the regulations of each country for these substances.

Transportation & Storage

During transport and storage, the cooling unit must be kept in the position marked on the box and at a temperature between -40˚F and 158˚F and relative humidity of max. 95% (at 77°F). Check that the packaging has not been damaged during transport.
