Product Overview
MEA Series AC cabinet air conditioner uses an extended airflow duct design to distribute temperature evenly inside the electrical enclosure, solving heat problems in control cabinets, machine tool panels and distribution boards. Covering 400-4000 W cooling capacity on 220V 50Hz input with -40 to +55 °C operation and R134a refrigerant, it is the general-purpose side-mounted enclosure cooler for industrial electrical cabinets where airflow coverage matters as much as raw capacity.
Key Features
- Extended duct design: long airflow path distributes cool air evenly, no hot corners in tall cabinets
- Condensation control: large airflow, small enthalpy difference design keeps humidity off the electronics
- Dust filtration: filter design protects cabinet internals from workshop dust
- Wide temperature range: -40 °C to +55 °C, optional heater 300-1000 W
- Eco refrigerant: R134a; RS485 remote monitoring and multi-function alarm output
- Compact footprints: from 552×320×186 mm (MEA0400) upward for tight cabinet doors

How to Select Cooling Capacity
For an electrical control cabinet, estimate heat load from the dissipation of VFDs, PLCs, contactors and power supplies inside, plus ambient radiation. A practical rule: the cooling unit should be rated at 1.2-1.5 times the internal heat load. Machine tool and industrial panels with 2-3 kW of drive heat typically use MEA2000-MEA3200; small control boards with under 1 kW use MEA0400-MEA1000. For tall cabinets, the extended duct design of the MEA Series is the differentiator — it pushes cool air along the full cabinet height so VFDs at the top get the same cooling as components near the unit.
MEA Series vs. Standard Side-Mounted Coolers
Standard side-mounted enclosure coolers blow cold air from a single grille, which can leave hot spots in tall or deep cabinets. The MEA extended-duct layout distributes airflow across the cabinet interior, and its large-airflow/small-enthalpy-difference design also lowers condensation risk on cold components — a common failure source in humid workshops. For general industrial electrical cabinets, it is the balanced choice between capacity, dust protection and even temperature distribution.
Applications
- Electrical control cabinets and machine tool panels
- Power distribution boards and switchgear enclosures
- CNC machine and production line control cabinets
- Water quality monitoring stations and industrial enclosures

Installation Notes
The MEA Series mounts on the cabinet side panel with the standard flange; keep 300 mm clearance around the condenser grille and route the RS485 wiring to the site monitoring unit. For outdoor placement, verify the door seal and gasket after installation to preserve the protection rating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What cooling capacity do I need for a machine tool control cabinet?
A: Add the heat dissipation of the VFDs, servo drives and power supplies inside the cabinet, then multiply by 1.2-1.5. A typical CNC panel with 2 kW of drive heat needs a MEA2000-MEA3000 class unit. Share your cabinet component list with BScomtec for a sized recommendation.
Q: Does the MEA Series handle dusty workshop environments?
A: Yes. The MEA Series has a dedicated dust filtration design on the intake side, and the small-enthalpy-difference airflow layout reduces condensation. Filters should be inspected and cleaned on a regular maintenance cycle.
