W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. announces an addition to its line of telecommunications products for improving system reliability. The GORE® Cooling Filters use ambient air to cool electronic components in outdoor enclosures and Gore’s membrane technology to protect sensitive electronics from extreme environments where they may encounter corrosive particles, sand or salty environments. Unlike bulky heat exchangers and air-conditioning systems, Direct Air Cooling (DAC) systems with GORE Cooling Filters have fewer mechanical parts. They are also easier to incorporate into cabinet designs, and require less maintenance. These cooling filters reduce ongoing operating costs because they use less energy than mechanical systems, reduce overall cabinet size saving site rental costs and improve Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF).
