Alpha's Radium Minibays should be a good start of what to look at and seems to fit your requirements: http://www.alpha.ca/web2/products/enclosures/outdoor-enclosures-medium/item/... On Mon, Jun 17, 2013 at 12:36 PM, Chuck Anderson <cra@wpi.edu> wrote:
I'm in need of my first free-standing, pad-mounted outdoor enclosure, 19" rack rails, 12-18 rack units, with about 400W of heat load inside, for use in the Massachusetts climate. What do people recommend as far as contruction, cooling/heating options, NEMA ratings, security options, etc. for this use?
I was hoping to keep the inside temperature between 50 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit, although my worst-case components are rated for 41 to 104 F (4 - 40 C). If a full mechanical A/C system can be avoided, even better. A thermo-electric cooler would be nice.
Thanks.
