Because Your Digital Signage Dreams of Staying Cool
GORE Direct Air Cooling Makes Your Digital Signage Dream Come True
Compared to standard filter technologies, GORE Direct Air Cooling manages thermal efficiency while maintaining excellent corrosion protection. In addition to prevent heat damage from internal and external factors, GORE Direct Air Cooling offers robust design to reduce replacement and maintenance costs – a benefit list common systems can only dream of.
Why Thermal Management Is so Important for Digital Signage
Electronics Life as Temperature Changes: Overheating Leads to a Halving in Lifetime
Research indicates that as temperature increases, the lifetime of electronic equipment decreases. For every 10°C increase, the lifetime is halved.
That is why thermal management is vital for your digital signage. It prevents your systems from overheating, making your equipment last longer, minimizing maintenance, and maximizing uptime.
GORE Direct Air Cooling offers efficient and reliable thermal management technology for outdoor, semi-outdoor and indoor Digital Signage.
GORE Direct Air Cooling enables you to profit from the natural thermal efficiency of ambient air. This technology is cost-effective and sustainable.
The Challenge: What Is Driving Heat Emission?
AMBIENT CLIMATE
Outdoor conditions can change fast and dramatically: Temperatures will vary significantly throughout the year and depending on geographical location, high humidity levels can be a serious challenge, too.
DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Direct sunlight, indoors and outdoors, will not only significantly increase overall temperature in digital signage, but can also create specific hotspots: areas of high heat that can lead to temporarily loss of image and permanent scarring of the screen.
SCREENS
Outdoor displays need to be significantly brighter and often larger than their indoor counterparts for the content to stay viewable – from far away and even in direct sunlight. A rise in brightness and size significantly increases heat emission and power consumption.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The more power a digital signage unit consumes, the more heat potentially develops internally.
COMPONENTS
In electronics, performance always equals heat. Therefore, higher performing equipment and increased electronic components in thinner digital signage enclosures lead to higher heat emissions.
ENCLOSURE DESIGN
The usage of heat-storing materials, glass and dark colors in enclosure design lead to increased heat accumulation. The total surface area of the enclosure as well as the number of sides exposed to the elements affect how much heat needs to be dissipated.
The Solution: GORE Direct Air Cooling for Thermal Management in Digital Signage
The GORE Direct Air Cooling solution uses a fan to move ambient air into digital signage units thereby cooling the hot interior. Unlike conventional direct air cooling systems, we combined this thermal management technology with our high efficiency membrane filters for thorough ingress protection from salt, dust, water and other contaminants, making GORE Direct Air Cooling the only fit for indoor, outdoor, and semi-outdoor application.
The result: the most reliable and cost-effective prevention of overheating from internal and external heat for digital signage in every environment – to keep your systems cool and operational for as long as possible.
GORE Direct Air Cooling is available in a variety of sizes suitable for most digital signage units on the market. Other temperature control technologies like heat exchangers weigh more and require larger footprints, increasing capital expenditure.
In addition to increased CAPEX, weight, and size, heat exchangers typically consume double the energy when compared to GORE Direct Air Cooling solutions.
Putting GORE® Cooling Filters to the Test
We have globally deployed over half a million GORE Cooling Filters in harsh environments, such as shore site Telecom Base Stations in hot and humid Brazil. They have been running without failures for years, saving operators millions in capital and operational costs while reducing carbon footprint due to lower energy consumption.
