Thermal calculations for outdoor electronics enclosure
Thermal calculations for outdoor electronics enclosure
(OP)
I have an electronics enclosure that will be pole mounted and in direct sunlight. I have calculated an internal ambient termpature using a convection/conduction analog like that for a cylindrical tube (my enclosure is cylindrical).
I would like to take into account the heat gain due to solar radation, but am uncertain how to include this in my equation.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Thermal calculations for outdoor electronics enclosure
I suggest that you insall a RADIATION SHIELD, this will reduce the direct sunlight on your enclosure. The shield should have about 1" air gap around you enclosure for air flow.
