Equipment-cooling fans and axial fans cool machinery and equipment enclosures when passive ventilation from ambient air or louvers isn't enough. They regulate enclosure temperatures by bringing cool air in or pushing hot air out to reduce wear on equipment components and help prevent breakdowns or damage. Also known as enclosure fans or cabinet-cooling fans, these fans are often placed near motors and power sources that generate heat. They provide a long service life to withstand daily use in manufacturing plants, warehouses, transportation facilities, and other heavy-use environments.
