Cooling for electrical railway systems: FAQs

Why are air cooling units important for railway electrical systems?

Trackside electrical shelters are often installed in remote locations exposed to the elements. To manage the enormous amounts of heat generated by continuous operation at the hottest times of the year, air coolers control temperatures for greater reliability and performance.

As well as protecting your railway infrastructure from breakdowns, technology that delivers sufficient cooling power can help:

  • Improve your train network’s safety and efficiency
  • Enhance the reliability of your service
  • Reduce long-term maintenance and repair costs

Talk to our experts for bespoke advice on securing the most suitable cool air technology for your railside electrical systems.

What types of cool air technology is best for trackside electrical enclosures?

Due to the unique challenges railway electronics present, train operators rely on a variety of cooling equipment for year-round temperature control, including:

  • Portable air-conditioners, which are lightweight and compact units that can be easily moved – ideal for installations that only need spot cooling or heatwave relief during the warmer months

  • Free coolers, which repurpose the air outside your facilities to produce a cooling effect – highly efficient cooling in temperate climates

How do mobile air coolers prevent equipment failure in railway systems?

Owing to their lightweight design and small size, mobile air coolers can be readily positioned in overly hot electrical enclosures. The cool air flow these units produce prevents components from overheating and breaking down, protecting the ongoing safety and efficiency of your operations.

Do you sell energy-efficient temperature control for railway location cabinets?

Yes, our wide range of cool air systems are some of the most efficient units on the market.

Combining decades of expertise, high-quality components and a steadfast commitment to European engineering, the solutions we supply keep electrical railway systems cool at all times, while keeping long-term energy costs low.

How do I choose the right cooling unit for my railway electrical enclosures?

There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution to railway electronics cooling. To determine the most suitable solution for your unique setup, speak to our experts. With decades of experience and a vast catalogue of equipment to choose from, we are the go-to manufacturers for rail operators globally.

Can your portable cooling units be used as a long-term solution for railway electrical systems?

Yes – the portable air-conditioners we supply can be used to cool your equipment long-term, so long as the water tank on your units stays topped up.

However, more permanent solutions – such as free coolers – are generally recommended for continuous cooling applications.

Talk to our experts for more information about acquiring professional coolers that suit the exact needs of your facility.

Can I buy your cooling systems for electrical railway systems online?

We don’t make our professional cooling technology available to purchase online to ensure that every system we design, manufacture and supply fits your exact requirements. By taking a consultative approach with a highly-trained expert, we make sure that you are only recommended equipment that meets your needs – and fulfils these in the most efficient, cost-effective way possible.

Across all of our products, VAT-registered companies can get a quote very quickly by pressing 'I want to buy' and inserting your enquiry and contact details.

How soon can you supply your air coolers to my trackside enclosures?

This varies on a case-by-case basis. For some standard products, accessories and consumables, we can provide day-to-day delivery. For larger orders or more bespoke cool air technology, there may be a longer lead time.

By reaching out to our experts we can put you in touch with your nearest local supplier so you can receive the products you require in the most timely manner possible.

No. Dantherm Group’s cooling technology is sold only to industry professionals directly from our offices, or via our extensive network of distributors.
