A large home theater installation is one that has several shelves full of equipment that is in a cabinet larger than 50 cubic feet. These setups can use thousands of watts while in operation and can dissipate hundreds of watts on standby. The amount of heat generated by these systems is too much to simply allow to move into the theater area of your home. It has to be diverted to somewhere. Active Thermal Management has a solution for every home theater problem that you can imagine.

Depending on the home theater location that somewhere could be outdoors or an unfinished basement, crawl space, or an attic. As important as removing hot air is getting cool air into the space. There are three important things to understand are:

• For every cubic foot of hot air removed a cubic foot of cool air has to enter.

• The more easily air moves in the less fan and air noise you will hear.

• In every case ventilation is most easily gotten by bringing cool air in low and letting heat out at the highest point.

The solutions to those three problems are pretty easily solved by making sure that :

• Cooling devices are located away from the enclosure.

• Turn slowly.

• Are controlled by a thermostat within the enclosure.

Active Thermal Management components solve all of these problems. The components that Active Thermal Management offers can cool your cabinet or closet, which ever you have dedicated to your home theater equipment. Remember, it’s not cool to run hot.
