When my display runs at night, the ambient temperature is cool enough to adequately cool my power supply box. It contains 6 350 Watt Meanwells. However, sometimes during the day testing is done during the middle of the afternoon on a hot day and the power supply box has all 6 meanwells with their fans on inside a hot environment. I usually design for worse case scenerio and if the outside temperature is anywhere above 25C, the box will need to be cooled. I still do not want to drill or cut any hole into the box but if that is the only option...........I guess I will have to get out the hole saw.
I designed specifically to NOT have any cooling fans an it opens the box up for potential rain or snow to collect inside the box. The box obviously does have a door and I can manually open the door to vent the heat out but wondered if there is any other clever passive way to cool the box? Any ideas?? --Greg--
