Wide Temperature Computers

Wide Temperature PCs for Hot and Cold Installations

A wide temperature computer is built from components rated beyond office conditions, so it starts and runs in freezers, unheated cabinets, vehicles and direct sun.

The range covers box PCs, panel PCs, single board computers, motherboards and carrier boards, rated from -10 to 60 °C and, on extended builds, from -40 to 85 °C.

The comparison below explains how wide and extended temperature ratings differ.

Beyond Temperature: Rugged and Sealed Computers

Wide Temperature Computers vs Extended Temperature Computers

Although the terms “wide temperature range” and “extended temperature range” may appear interchangeable, they have distinct meanings when applied to industrial PCs. Understanding these differences is crucial for selecting the appropriate hardware for specific environmental conditions, ensuring optimal performance and reliability when choosing your next edge computer.

Standard Temperature Computers

Standard commercial PCs are generally designed to operate within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. In contrast, industrial PCs with wide and extended temperature capabilities can endure much more extreme conditions, so they keep running in much hotter and colder environments.

Wide Temperature Computers

A wide temperature range for a PC typically refers to the extensive range of temperatures within which an industrial PC can operate reliably. For example, a wide temperature industrial PC might function within a range of -10°C to +60°C, encompassing a broad span of extreme temperatures. These industrial PCs are designed to withstand substantial thermal fluctuations without compromising their performance or lifespan.

Extended Temperature Computers

In the harshest environments, such as oil and gas, mining, military, and aerospace, where extreme temperatures are common, extended temperature computers are recommended. These rugged industrial PCs can operate within temperature ranges of -40℃ to 85℃, ensuring they can withstand both scorching heat and freezing cold. This capability allows critical operations to continue uninterrupted, regardless of the environmental conditions.

Specifying the Industrial Temperature Range

The temperature on the datasheet is only part of the picture. A wide temperature PC has to start in the cold, hold its performance in the heat and run from whatever power the site provides. These are the points to check before choosing.

Operating Range

Look at both ends: -20 or -40 °C for cold sites and 60, 70 or 85 °C for hot enclosures.

Cold Start

Below freezing the system has to boot as well as run, so check the minimum start temperature.

Derating at Heat

Some processors slow down at the top of the range; check performance at the temperature you expect.

Wide-Range DC Power

Wide DC inputs let the system run from vehicle, battery or cabinet supplies.

Ignition Control

For vehicles, ignition sensing starts and shuts the system down safely with the engine.

Certifications

EN 50155 for rolling stock and E-Mark for road vehicles, alongside UKCA, CE and FCC.
