W. L. Gore & Associates has introduced a new membrane media for its line of GORE Cooling Filters that increases thermal performance while providing strong environmental protection and reliability. The new GORE Cooling Filters improve thermal cooling while reducing both capital and operating costs in wireless base stations, MCPAs, base band units, power cabinets, switching systems, and other outdoor electronic enclosures.

The technology behind the new GORE Cooling Filter is based on a proprietary expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane. This microporous membrane allows cool, clean air to flow into the cabinet while filtering out harmful contaminants. Expanded PTFE membrane has a 99.0 percent particle filtration efficiency at the 0.3µm level (1cm/sec). GORE Cooling Filters can incorporate the high-performance Gore filtration media into either a lightweight frame or a rigid anodized aluminium frame, providing the most reliable protection possible for a variety of applications. Cabinets fitted with GORE Cooling Filters easily pass the most stringent requirements, including IP55 and NEMA 3R.
