Oil & Gas

Enclosure Cooling for Upstream, Midstream & Downstream Operations

Rugged cooling for control panels in extreme oil & gas environments.

Oil and gas operations subject electrical enclosures to some of the most extreme conditions on earth — desert heat, Arctic cold, salt spray on offshore platforms, sand and dust at wellheads, and corrosive H2S exposure at processing facilities. Control panels for SCADA, RTU, flow measurement, and compressor stations all need sealed cooling that can handle these environments without failing. VoltAire enclosure air conditioners deliver the performance and durability that oil and gas operators demand, at pricing that makes sense across large-scale deployments.

The Challenge

Why Oil & Gas Cooling Is Hard

Extreme ambient temperatures

Operations span from -40°F Arctic installations to 131°F desert wellheads. Cooling must perform across the full range.

Corrosive and hazardous atmospheres

H2S, salt spray, sand, and hydrocarbon vapors attack standard equipment. Enclosures must maintain a sealed boundary.

Remote, unmanned locations

Wellheads, compressor stations, and pipeline monitoring points are often hours from the nearest maintenance base.

Fleet-scale deployments

A single operator may manage hundreds of cooled enclosures across a production field. Unit cost and serviceability matter at scale.

The VoltAire Solution

Built for This

-40°F to 131°F operating range

Full-range operation covers every climate zone in North American oil and gas operations. Optional electric heaters for sub-zero installations.

NEMA 4/4X sealed construction

Closed-loop design keeps corrosive gases, dust, sand, and moisture completely out of the enclosure. Stainless steel NEMA 4X available for the harshest environments.

Remote monitoring capable

Optional Ethernet controller with Modbus TCP/IP integrates with existing SCADA systems for remote temperature monitoring and alarm notification.

Field-serviceable design

Standard components, centralized electrical tray, and 5/16" driver access. Maintenance teams can service units in the field without specialized tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about enclosure cooling for oil & gas.

What enclosure cooling works best for oil field SCADA cabinets?

Most SCADA and RTU cabinets in oil and gas use 4,000-6,000 BTU/hr units. The VoltAire AT04 or AT06 handles the heat load from typical SCADA equipment. For remote solar-powered sites, our 48VDC models (AT04RB, AT06RB) run directly off battery bank power without requiring an inverter. All units operate across the full -40°F to 131°F range.

Can VoltAire units integrate with SCADA systems?

Yes. The optional Ethernet controller provides Modbus TCP/IP connectivity that integrates with most SCADA and DCS platforms. You can monitor enclosure temperature, receive alarm notifications, and manage Lead-Lag redundancy pairs remotely. SNMP and BACnet protocols are also available.

Do you offer volume pricing for large deployments?

Yes. Our integrator pricing program provides 15% below published list prices for qualified operators. For fleet-scale deployments (20+ units), contact us directly for project-specific pricing, staged delivery schedules, and dedicated account support.
