Hindalco Industries Limited | DURO series Panel Air Conditioner

Hindalco Industries Ltd., part of the Aditya Birla Group, is one of the world’s largest producers of aluminium and copper.
Their plants operate heavy industrial machinery, automation systems, and continuous production lines, where reliability of electronic systems is extremely important.

In such large metal-processing environments, ambient temperatures around electrical and control rooms often rise significantly.

The Challenge

1. High Ambient Temperature Near CPU Cabinet

Hindalco had an important CPU/PC control cabinet installed near their processing area.
Due to the high temperature in the surrounding environment:

• The PC was getting overheated

• Frequent system tripping was happening

• Process monitoring and production data were getting interrupted

• Downtime was increasing

Conventional cooling fans or basic ventilation could not control the heat inside the compact CPU cabinet.

2. Need for a Compact, Reliable Cooling Solution

The cabinet had very limited space.
They needed a cooling system that:

• Fits in a small enclosure

• Offers spot cooling directly to the CPU panel

• Works smoothly in high ambient industrial conditions

• Requires minimal maintenance

• Ensures trouble-free continuous operation

They were looking for a stable, plug-and-play solution suitable for sensitive electronics.

Our Solution: DURO 550 – Compact Panel Air Conditioner

After understanding the heat load, cabinet size, and ambient conditions, we recommended our Duro Series – Model DURO 550, a small-capacity but high-performance panel air conditioner.
