  • Outdoor enclosure louver system
    Patent number: 8555591
    Abstract: A louvered door assembly for an outdoor electronic enclosure includes an outer panel attached to an inner panel. Channels for holding louvers are attached to both panels. Each channel has slots formed therein which receive the individual louvers and hold them in position without fasteners. The inner panel holds the louvers in the slots. The louvered door assembly provides a clean look, a compact arrangement, large air flow and resists water ingress into the enclosure.

  • Outdoor enclosure cooling system operating at off-peak hours
    Patent number: 8108082
    Abstract: A cooling system and method for an outdoor electronics enclosure includes an air conditioner controlled to operate during off-peak hours, so as to pre-cool batteries. The cooled batteries keep the enclosure cool during peak hours so that it is not necessary to run the air conditioner when electricity prices are at their peak. A clock or light sensor determines the time of day. A controller has stored data indicating the peak hours when electricity costs more.

  • Hybrid cooling system for outdoor electronics enclosure
    Patent number: 7929294
    Abstract: A cooling system for an outdoor electronic enclosure, with separate compartments for electronics and batteries, includes separate cooling devices for each compartment so that optimal temperatures are provided to each compartment. The batteries are cooled by a thermo-electric type air-conditioner, while the electronics are cooled by direct air cooling device or a heat exchanger.
