EIC’s Protector™ Series Electronic Enclosure with 400 BTU Thermoelectric Air Conditioner

Market/Industry:

Border security, surveillance, traffic

Application:

Air conditioned housing, supplemental heating where needed, for RFID systems used for frequent crosser recognition at U.S border crossings

The Challenge:

A national security company was in need of a solution that could provide both cooling and heating for the enclosures housing camera systems used for license plate recognition at select US border crossings.

The Solution:

EIC Protector™ Series ThermoTEC™ 140B Series 400 BTU (AC) Thermoelectric Air Conditioner with a supplemental heating option. EIC’s air conditioners feature:

  • Extremely reliable solid state construction with long life span
  • Maintenance free design with no moving components (other than fans)
  • No compressor, refrigerant or filters
  • Models for use in environments to 170°F
  • Compact size, lightweight, convenient to install and operate
  • NEMA 12 (indoor) and NEMA 4X (indoor/outdoor) models
  • Stainless steel construction (Type 304)
  • Through-mount, flush-mount or recessed-mount installation
  • Recommended for vertical mounting only
  • DC power configurations
  • Mounting gasket and stainless steel fasteners included
  • Complete 12 month warranty

The EIC’s 400 BTU ThermoTEC air conditioner is also available with a supplemental heating capability, which was perfect fit for the environmental temperature fluctuations associated with the locations. Keeping the RFID systems from overheating is imperative because they protect US borders from illegal entry and exit. The systems are used to monitor cars entering and leaving the United States through use of RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) tag readers for frequent crossers.

Benefits:

EIC Solutions can provide a best fit solution for most any application. The solution for the national security company fit their needs and they experienced a reduction in monitoring system downtime by preventing failures due to the temperature extremes associated with U.S borders.
