Is downtime due to computer overheating affecting production? Tired of paying repair or replacement costs? Armagard examines 4 common causes of computer overheating in industrial environments & provides a solution to combat all four. Put an end to your computer downtime misery…<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Has your computer been acting strangely lately, shutting down at random intervals, refusing to boot up or constantly displaying error messages? Then your computer may have a temperature.<\/p>\n

If your PC is showing any of these symptoms, computer overheating is the likely cause. It might be time to consider the protection of a\u00a0NEMA 4 Industrial Enclosure<\/a><\/strong> for your PC.<\/p>\n

One of the challenges that industrial facilities face is keeping computers cool in tough environments. Perhaps you can relate to this problem, and you\u2019re unsatisfied with the number of \u2018how to\u2019 articles that brush it off by telling you to clean your computers, reposition them or change the fans.<\/p>\n

Yes, these are all viable answers, and yes they provide a solution in the short-term, but you want a long-term solution that\u2019s less labour intensive and incredibly cost-effective, what if we told you we have the solution?<\/p>\n

But first, let\u2019s examine the four most common causes of your computer overheating problem. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re going somewhere with this…<\/p>\n

The 4 most common causes of computer overheating<\/strong><\/h2>\n

(1) In first place… DUST<\/strong> \u2013 They say there are two certainties in life, death and tax. We\u2019d like to make the case for a third, dust, it\u2019s inescapable. Dust is the most common cause of computer overheating in industrial environments because it accumulates, blocking vents and disabling fans.<\/p>\n

Dust systematically disables your computer by clogging the vents, then smothering all the components of the computer that generate heat. With no extraction point for excess heat, the fan is put into overdrive, overcompensating to cool your PC. Your computer is then left with no defence against heat accumulation.<\/p>\n

Then, just when you think that dust has done enough damage, all that excess heat causes your computer to set alight ending any hope of salvaging it.<\/p>\n

According to worldwide government reports, it\u2019s estimated that there is up to 50 times more dust present in the air in industrial workplaces. That\u2019s an excess of dust that the common computer is not designed to cope with.<\/p>\n

Out of the 4 most common causes for computer overheating, dust is the only one that can prove fatal.<\/p>\n

The majority of \u2018how to\u2019 articles will give you the \u2018quick fix\u2019 solution, advising that you clean your computer.<\/p>\n

But, how many businesses do you know have the time to clean their computers, every day, to the standard needed to rid them of all dust in an environment that produces 50 times more of it than the average home? Our guess is you don\u2019t know many…<\/p>\n

Trying to clean away dust in an industrial environment is impractical, counterproductive and costly. Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n
