Don’t discount the idea of installing a flat plate on the sun facing face with standoffs. Just having that absorb the sun and heat with the air gap beneath does a lot towards not letting the heat build up inside the box. While there will be some conduction it will be a lot less than the direct radiation from the sun.

I am in the process of rebuilding one of our sites from an old wooden box to a more robust NEMA Wall mount cabinet that is 36x36x12. Unfortunately, the cabinet is on the southern side of the building and I am wondering how to cool the damn thing during the summertime heat. I would like to install a 4 inch 100vac fan to suck air out with an intake port on the other side. But it would be nice if the fans could be temperture controlled. Has anyone done this? And what have you used to make it happen? Sam -- -- Sam Lambie Taosnet Wireless Tech. 575-758-7598 Office www.Taosnet.com
