As electronic equipment has advanced, so has the need for effective cooling systems in order to keep processes running optimally. With devices generating high levels of both heat and sound, products such as the fan tray assembly and anti vibration mounts have become even more advanced, with a number of different products on the market to meet all kinds of customer needs.

The problem of overheating can be common when it comes to PCs and laptops, yet the situation can become a lot worse in the case of electronics that are operating in cabinets or other enclosed spaces, with the reduced airflow dramatically raising temperature. The installation of an adequate cooling fan or fan tray assembly is therefore essential for keeping temperatures at reasonable levels.

So, just why is overheating so bad and why are cooling systems so useful? There are numerous reasons why installing a fan system is a good idea, some of which will be explored below.

Firstly, if electronic equipment heats up too much, it can simply cut out in order to cool down. This is not only a major inconvenience, but can actually cause serious damage to the equipment components too. It should also be noted that overheated equipment can be a serious fire hazard, which is not good in either the home or the workplace.

Overheating can also cause electronics to function more slowly, even if they do not stop working completely. This is because in-built fans may be working exceptionally hard at keeping temperatures down due to elevated levels of heat. A solution would be to add a fan tray assembly or other cooling fan system in order to provide adequate levels of cooling.

Fans that are working too hard to lower high temperatures can also cause a great deal of noise. This can be at best distracting, and at worst unbearable, especially in the workplace where there is a large amount of electronic equipment. Again, adequate cooling systems such as a fan tray assembly can stop fans striving to keep temperatures down and keep noise at an acceptable level.

Another factor touched on above is that critical components of electronic equipment may be damaged if exposed to elevated temperatures. As all electronic components have maximum temperature ratings, overheating caused by insufficient cooling can cause serious damage to essential and costly equipment.

There are many ways to avoid all the negative effects of overheating – and the main one is prevention. The easiest way to do this is by keeping electronics in a cool environment that is well-ventilated so that temperatures do not rise to a dangerous level, running the risk of the problems listed above.

Installing a cooling fan system or fan tray assembly is one way to keep areas well ventilated and air circulating sufficiently in order to keep electronics from overheating. Heat produced by these devices will dissipate a lot faster if the surrounding air is cooler, meaning temperatures are kept in an acceptable range.

In addition to installing the right equipment it is important to keep it well-maintained. Cleaning the cooling fan system regularly will help the fan operate optimally, ensuring that in turn your electronics are kept at a reasonable temperature for efficient functioning. Regular cleaning will clear out all dust and fluff that will impair fan functioning and pose a potential fire hazard.

For personalised advice on which cooling fan systems or fan tray assembly products are appropriate for your electronics and their particular installation and use, it is always best to consult with a specialist designer and manufacturer of these products.

With their expert knowledge, you will be able to create an environment that ensures optimal functioning of your electronic equipment and minimises risk and potentially costly damage.

It’s hot out. The sun beats down as you work through the sizzling day. The heat is absorbing all of your energy. How are you supposed to work in these conditions? Take multiple breaks to be in the shade? For anyone looking to stay cool in the summer heat, there is an alternative. The safety company Occunomix manufactures a brand of products known as MiraCool.

What is MiraCool

MiraCool products come in the form of headbands, tie hats, ranger hats, and most popular, bandanas. All MiraCool products are designed to keep you cool through evaporation. After submerging a MiraCool product in water for some time, it can absorb enough to keep you cool all day long.

How Does It Work?

MiraCool and similar brands of cooling products are very simple. Each MiraCool product has a small, sealed pouch filled with what feels like grainy rocks or sand. Occunomix uses the term “cooling crystals” to describe them, but in reality they actually polymer crystals. These polymer crystals are capable of holding many times their weight in water. For example, one pound of polymer crystals can hold up to fifty gallons of water! That’s why the polymer pouch is so small. If there were too many crystals embedded into a MiraCool product, it would become heavy and cumbersome for the user to wear.

To activate the polymer crystals, you simply need to submerge the product in water for an extended period of time. According to Occunomix, it only needs to be submerged for ten to twenty minutes before it’s ready to go. Actual users, however, have stated that it can take up to forty five minutes for the entire absorption process to happen. Once the product has absorbed enough water, it is ready to begin cooling. The MiraCool cooling bandana, tie hat or headband is simply worn as you would wear a non-cooling headband, bandana or tie hat. As the water-filled product is exposed to heat, the water within the crystals will begin to evaporate, keeping you cool.

How Long Do They Last?

The length of the cooling duration depends on several factors. It depends on how many polymer crystals are in the specific product, how long the product was submerged in water, and how hot it is outside. Occunomix claims that MiraCool products work all day long or even longer, but those are most likely prime conditions. If used outside on a hot summer day, you should probably expect to get only several hours out of it. It’s also worth noting that while Occunomix claims the product does not need to be frozen or chilled, the product will keep you cool longer if you do. MiraCool products don’t need to be cooled, they just extend the cooling period.

In regards to the product’s longevity, MiraCool products themselves can be reused thousands of times. Once the water has completely evaporated out of the polymer crystals, the product can easily be submerged and used over and over.
