Unlike large, energy consuming, active cooling systems, GORE® Cooling Filters enable you to take full advantage of the natural thermal efficiencies of ambient air while simultaneously lowering your system costs. GORE® Direct Air Cooling Filters are smaller and have fewer parts than bulky HEX and AC units. This reduces space usage and simplifies maintenance.
Introducing the most efficient, cost-effective cooling technology available for outdoor electronic enclosures: Cooling Filters from W. L. Gore & Associates. Unlike closed loop systems like AC and HEX, GORE® Cooling Filters enable the use of direct air cooling by providing critical contamination protection – allowing you to take full advantage of the natural thermal efficiency of ambient air.
Inside the GORE® Cooling Filter is the latest generation of our unique microporous membrane. Pioneered by Gore in 1973 for use in critical industrial applications, this durable, efficient membrane stops water and corrosive particles from passing through, yet remains highly permeable to air.
GORE® Cooling Filters can be used directly in place of heat exchangers (HEX) or air conditioning (AC) systems, or in conjunction with AC to help reduce operational costs. As of 2007, over 100,000 base stations depend upon GORE® Cooling Filters for maintenance-free cooling performance. Our deployments span the globe, and have proven successful under extreme ambient operating conditions, including: salt air, wind-driven rain, heavy industrial pollution and high temperature. In addition to our standard filter portfolio, Gore also provides custom filters and filter/fan designs. Our application engineering team will work with you every step of the way to deliver the most operationally efficient cooling filter solution for your mechatronic configuration. After installation, our global support team can be called on for the latest updates on technology and materials.
