Cooling Selection Tool

Industrial electrical cabinet heat load & BTU calculator

Use this when you need an indicative cooler class (watts / BTU/h) for an electrical cabinet before buying a panel AC. Enter enclosure dimensions, industry type and inside/outside temperatures. The result is brand-agnostic capacity guidance; SAS ClimaLink is the smart control that puts that cooler on your PLC.

Inputs

Provide panel dimensions and temperature range.

Estimate cooling requirements for a panel cooler from enclosure dimensions and temperature range. SAS ClimaLink provides zone control, fieldbus and interlocking for the cooler you specify.

Common use-cases

Food production lines, beverage filling lines, carton packaging lines, OEM machine panels and retrofit enclosures.

Panel heat-load & BTU calculator

Sizing note: this is a fast pre-selection estimate. Use the panel heat budget worksheet for internal watts, or the GCC checklist PDF for a branded pre-quote pack. Final sizing should also consider solar load and enclosure material.

FAQ

Questions plant engineers ask

Practical answers on panel heat-load planning — from Sharjah, for plants in the UAE and GCC.

When should I use this heat-load calculator?

Use this when you are planning cabinet cooling capacity for UAE/GCC ambient duty and need a watt/BTU class before selecting a cooler brand. After capacity, use ClimaLink for zone control and fieldbus interlocking.

What does the calculator estimate?

An indicative watt/BTU cooler class from enclosure size and inside/outside temperature. Use it to specify a cooler from any manufacturer.

Is the result a final design?

No. Confirm solar load, enclosure material and duty cycle with engineering before procurement. The calculator is a planning aid.

What happens after I have a capacity class?

Open ClimaLink for zone control, fieldbus and interlocking, or request a technical proposal with your panel details.

Do you work on site in the UAE and GCC?

Yes. SAS Middle East FZC is based in Hamriyah Free Zone, Sharjah. We survey, engineer and commission panel heat-load planning on site across the UAE and GCC.
