Which inputs are required for the calculator?

Panel height, width, depth, target inside temperature and maximum outside temperature are required.

Can this be used for food line control panels?

Yes. The calculator can be used for food processing and packaging line control panels as an initial sizing estimate.

Is this final engineering sizing?

No. It is a fast pre-selection tool. Final sizing should include internal component heat load, solar gain and enclosure material details.

Cooling Selection Tool

Industrial electrical cabinet heat load & BTU calculator

Enter enclosure dimensions (height, width, depth), select your industry type, and provide inside/outside temperature values to estimate cooling needs and identify a suitable SAS ClimaLink custom-engineered model.

Calculator Output

Model recommendation + thermal estimate

Volume

m³ enclosure volume calculation

ΔT
