1500 W Industrial Panel Air Conditioner for Electrical Control Panels and Industrial Enclosures

The GPACSM-1500.2 Panel AC is designed to control heat inside electrical control panels, automation cabinets and industrial enclosures. With a 1500 W cooling capacity, it provides active refrigeration-based cooling for applications where electrical and electronic components generate significant internal heat during operation.

Built Around the Cooling Requirement

Modern industrial control panels can generate substantial heat from VFDs, servo drives, PLC power supplies, transformers, contactors and other electrical components.

When this heat remains trapped inside the enclosure, the internal temperature can rise significantly above the surrounding ambient temperature.

The GPACSM-1500.2 is designed to remove this accumulated heat and help maintain a more controlled internal panel environment.

Why Choose GPACSM-1500.2?

1500 W Cooling Capacity

The GPACSM-1500.2 provides 1500 W of nominal cooling capacity, making it suitable for industrial enclosures requiring a higher level of active heat removal.

Dedicated Panel Cooling

Designed specifically for electrical enclosures and control panels rather than general room cooling.

Helps Protect Electrical Components

Maintaining a controlled enclosure temperature helps reduce thermal stress on sensitive electrical and electronic components.

Panel-Mounted Configuration

The unit is designed for direct integration with an industrial electrical enclosure.

Suitable for Industrial Applications

A practical solution for control panels operating around machinery, automation systems and production equipment.

Active Refrigeration-Based Cooling

Unlike ventilation-only systems, the panel AC actively removes heat from inside the enclosure.

How Does a Panel AC Help?

The cooling process can be understood simply:

Warm air inside the panel

↓

Evaporator absorbs heat

↓

Refrigeration system transfers the heat

↓

Heat is rejected to ambient air

↓

Cooled air returns to the enclosure

This continuous cooling cycle helps maintain a more controlled internal panel temperature.

Typical Applications

The GPACSM-1500.2 can be considered for:

• CNC machine control panels
• Industrial automation cabinets
• PLC control panels
• VFD / drive panels
• Servo drive panels
• Electrical control panels
• Machine tool panels
• Packaging machinery

What Generates Heat Inside a Panel?

Typical heat-generating components include:

• VFDs
• Servo drives
• PLC power supplies
• Transformers
• Contactors
• Relays
• SMPS / power supplies
• Industrial networking equipment
• Control electronics
• Motor-control equipment
• Other continuously operating electrical components

Panel size alone does not determine the required cooling capacity.

The actual internal heat load is one of the most important factors.

Is 1500 W Cooling Enough for Your Panel?

The correct cooling capacity depends on the actual operating conditions.

Glacier can help evaluate:

• Internal heat load
• Maximum ambient temperature
• Required panel temperature
• Panel dimensions
• VFD / drive ratings
• Electrical components
• Operating cycle
• Installation arrangement
• Environmental conditions

Designed for Industrial Control Panels

The GPACSM-1500.2 is intended for applications where electrical and electronic equipment must operate reliably despite continuous heat generation inside the enclosure.

Typical environments include:

• Machine control panels
• Automation cabinets
• Electrical enclosures
• CNC control panels
• Industrial machinery
• Production equipment
• Process control systems
• Instrumentation panels

---

Installation Considerations

For reliable cooling performance, consider:

• Correct mounting location
• Panel cut-out requirements
• Condenser air inlet and outlet clearance
• Internal air circulation
• Ambient operating conditions
• Electrical supply
• Condensate management, where applicable
• Maintenance access
• Dust, oil and environmental contamination

Installation should follow the applicable Glacier installation documentation for the selected model.

---

Maintenance

Regular preventive maintenance helps maintain cooling performance.

Condenser

Inspect for dust and contamination that can restrict heat rejection.

Filters

Clean or replace filters where provided and required by operating conditions.

Airflow

Check internal and external airflow paths for obstruction.

Fans

Verify fan operation and check for abnormal noise or vibration.

Refrigeration Circuit

Check for abnormal operating conditions, leakage or reduced cooling performance.

Electrical Connections

Inspect electrical connections and protection devices during scheduled maintenance.

Glacier can also provide service and AMC support for industrial panel cooling systems.
