Enclosure hardware from Emka for air conditioning equipment

Emka says that the heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) industry is one of the most important application areas requiring specialised locks, hinges and sealing profiles. And it has a range of HVACR locking systems to comply with the special requirements of the sector.

As a long-time system partner of the HVACR industry, Emka is constantly working on new products like the modular locking system, compression latch hinges or inspection windows with integrated foam seals.

Other examples include a new modular handle suitable for doors opening inwards and outwards and for various door thicknesses (25-110 mm) and offering a variety of locking options (round cylinder, blind plug, square insert, further inserts on request) plus a roller cam with adjustable clamping load (also, air tightness class L1-L3 is possible.)

A novel compression latch-hinge, suitable for different door sizes, is offered to provide a combination of a hinge and a lock, in only one product so that the door or panel can be removed by unlatching the handles on both sides. Features include 3mm adjustment when the door is closed to achieve perfect alignment, with optional HVACR compression latch-hinge available – with a safety feature for ‘pressure relief’ with an ATEX-compliant explosion protection version also offered on request.

The range covers a new surface-mounted modular door lock with an internal handle, an industry-standard mounting 3D-unit connector, a bow-type door handle and a clip-on profile according to hygiene standard VDI 6022.
