Table 2-1 provides an overview of the most common types of cabinet. You will also
find the principle of heat removal, as well as the estimated, maximum achievable
power loss removal and the degree of protection.
Table 2-1 Types of Cabinet
Open Cabinets
Closed Cabinets
Through-ventilation
by natural
convection
Increased
through-ventilation
Natural convection Forced circulation
using fan
subassembly,
enhanced natural
convection
Forced circulation
using heat
exchanger,
external ventilation
inside and outside
Heat removal
primarily by natural
thermal
convection, small
portion via the
cabinet wall
Increased heat
removal through
increased air
movement
Heat removal only
through the cabinet
wall; only low
power dissipation
permissible. Heat
accumulation
usually occurs in
the top of the
cabinet.
Heat removal only
through the cabinet
wall. Forced
ventilation of the
internal air results
in improved heat
removal and
prevention of heat
accumulation.
Heat removal
through exchange
between heated
internal air and
cold external air.
The increased
surface of the
folded-area
sectional wall of
the heat
exchanger and
forced circulation
of internal and
external air permit
good heat output.

Typical removable power dissipation under the following boundary conditions:
Cabinet size 2200 x 600 x 600 mm
Difference between external and internal temperature of the cabinet: 20° C (for other temperature
differences, you must refer to the temperature characteristics of the cabinet manufacturer)
up to 700 W up to 2700 W
(1400 W with very
fine filter)
up to 260 W up to 360 W up to 1700 W
