Re: [AFMUG] How to reliably cool a small enclosure in direct sunlight?

[Bill Prince]

1. Add a thermostatically controlled ventilation fan 2. Put a heat shield up on the south side of the enclosure. This can be just a plate of aluminum, painted white on the sun side, and mounted to the enclosure with 1" standoffs We have a site like yours, and just the fan keeps the temperature below 120° F (49° C). I think if we added the heat shield we could drop it another 10° F. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 7/13/2018 4:51 PM, Sterling Jacobson wrote: I’ve got a few side of the house enclosures exposed to direct sunlight part of the day.   Inside the electronics are about ready to melt. Like 90C+ CPU temps.   These are about 3’ x 3’ x 12 deep or something like that, so not a lot of room.   What are you guys using to keep these things decently cool?
