OverviewThermostat-controlled Hazardous Location NEMA 4 (IP66) Cabinet Cooler® Systems are engineered and UL classified for use on purged electrical enclosures in classified areas. These vortex-tube systems generate cold air with no moving parts, include a 5‑micron automatic drain water/dirt filter separator and a cold-air distribution kit, and feature a low-pressure relief valve that closes when the cooler is off to preserve NEMA 4 integrity. Thermostat control activates cooling only when internal temperatures approach preset limits and is recommended for fluctuating heat loads.
Applications- Programmable controllers

Performance (summary)Cooling capacity rated at 100 PSIG (6.9 BAR) supply pressure. Sound levels (dBA) per model: HZ4815 = 73; HZ4825/HZ4830 = 80; HZ4840 = 82; HZ4850 = 84; HZ4860/HZ4870 = 84; HZ4880 = 85.
Key features and components- Thermostat control (factory set at 95°F / 35°C, typical control ±2°F / 1°C)
- Included solenoid valve for thermostat models (UL listed / HazLoc solenoid where applicable)
- 5‑micron automatic drain water and dirt filter separator included
- Cold Air Distribution Kit included (flexible tubing, clips, fittings) to direct cold air to circulate or target hot spots
- Low-pressure relief valve to maintain NEMA 4 enclosure integrity when cooler is off
- Available in 110/120 VAC, 240 VAC and 24 VDC versions
- Type 303 and Type 316 stainless steel options for corrosive environments
- Continuous-operation (non-thermostat) and dual systems available for additional cooling
Installation & mountingMounts through a standard electrical knockout (1-1/2 NPS). NEMA 4 and 4X HazLoc Cabinet Coolers may be mounted on top of the panel or on the side using Side Mount Kits (side mount kits maintain the NEMA rating).
Other considerationsWhen sealed correctly, relative humidity inside the enclosure for continuous operation stabilizes at approximately 45%; inlet air temperature and supply pressure affect delta‑T and cooling capacity. If oil is present in the compressed air supply, use a coalescing (oil removal) filter in addition to the standard filter separator.
