Air-conditioned VS. Geothermal-cooled

Electrical enclosures play an extremely crucial role in housing and protecting electronic and electrical equipment from harsh environmental conditions. Water, oil, dust, rodents, various contaminents, and extreme heat or cold are just a few of the reasons why electronics and electrical equipment fail on the job. With this in mind, we have designed the cleanest and coolest enclosure on the market today to keep your electronics and electrical equipment running strong as long as it's meant to.  
There are many reasons for choosing a geothermal-cooled enclosure over an air-conditioned enclosure. Not only is the initial cost of the CoolVFD enclosure and geothermal cooling system more affordable, but the cost of operation, the amount of maintenance, and the rate of replacement is exceptionally lower than that of air-conditioned systems.  The main reason for the large difference in operating costs is due to the fact that air-conditioned systems use electricity as a cooling source and the CoolVFD geothermal system uses the temperature of the earth and water as a cooling source.  Because the source of cooling for the geothermal system is free, the larger the cooling needs the more savings are achieved.
