Mechanical structures for electronic equipment. Thermal management for cabinets in accordance with IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 series - Design guide. Method for the determination of forced air-cooling structure
1 Scope and object
This part of IEC 62610 provides for compatible methods of forced air cooled cabinets assembled with associated
subracks and/or chassis in accordance with the IEC 60297 and IEC 60917 series.
This design guide contains the following:
a) Thermal interfaces of subrack and/or chassis based equipment in a cabinet
• Reference temperature
• Preferred airflow conditions
• Airflow volume conditions
• Standard air
b) Procedures for determining compatible forced airflow conditions in a cabinet by applying
typical thermal interface conditions
The drawings used are not intended to indicate product design. They are only explanatory
indications for determining forced air-cooling structure.
The terminology used complies with IEC 60917‑1.
