 Fundamentals
Introduction

As electronic components get ever smaller and

are more densely packed in enclosures and
electronic cases, systems are becoming
increasingly sensitive to external factors such as
dust, oil, moisture and temperature.
Heat in particular is a deadly enemy of sensitive
electronics.
For example, a general rule of thumb for
semi-conductors is that an increase in the
operating temperature of 10 °C, in relation to
Dust Heat the maximum permissible operating
temperature, will shorten its service life by
one-half.
In order to guarantee proper functioning of the
electronics, this heat needs to be dissipated.
There are three basic forms of heat transfer:
Heat conduction:
Heat is transported by matter, without the matter
itself being moved. The energy is passed from
particle to particle.
Heat conduction Convection:
Energy flows with the matter. The transport
medium, e. g. a liquid or gas, takes up energy in
the form of heat and dissipates energy as heat.
Radiation:
Heat is passed from one body to another in the
form of radiation energy, without a medium
material.
The decisive factor for the type of heat
dissipation to be used in enclosures is whether
they are open (air-permeable) or closed (air-
tight). Whereas in open enclosures, the heat is
dissipated by means of air circulation, in closed
enclosures the heat can only be dissipated via
the enclosure wall.
Rittal cooling units provide the ideal solution for
ensuring an optimum operating temperature
inside an air-tight enclosure, even at high
external temperatures.

Integral cooling technology

The unity of enclosure and cooling components
achieves particularly effective cooling. Assembly
time is eliminated. The investment costs for the
complete unit offer exceptionally good value for
money.

Roof-mounted cooling units

Requirement-oriented routing of cooling air in
the internal circuit is possible, with up to four
cold air outlet openings and the optional use of
ducts. In the external circuit, the heated air is
expelled to the rear, left and right, and optionally
upwards. This means that there are no obstacles
to bayed use and siting close to the wall.

Wall-mounted cooling units

Depending on the space and design
requirements, internal mounting, partial internal
mounting and external mounting are all possible.
Thanks to large distances between the air intake
and outlet openings, effective cold air
throughput of the enclosure is achieved.

Notes on water quality

For safe operation of the equipment, it is
essential to observe the VBG guidelines on
cooling water (VGB R 455 P).
Cooling water must not contain any limescale
deposits or loose debris; in other words, it
should have a low level of hardness, particularly
a low level of carbon hardness. Particularly with
in-plant recooling, it is important that the carbon
hardness should not be too high. On the other
hand, however, the water should not be so soft
that it attacks the materials. When recooling the
cooling water, the salt content should not rise too
high as the result of large quantities of water
being evaporated, since electrical conductivity
increases as the concentration of dissolved
substances rises, and the water thereby
becomes more corrosive. For this reason, not
only is it always necessary to add a corres-
ponding quantity of fresh water, but also to
remove part of the enriched water.

Enclosure cooling units
Mechanical requirements

Sealing of the enclosure

The enclosure must be sealed on all sides
(IP 54). Particular attention should be paid to the
sealing of the area around the cable entry
openings and above all, the floor section of the
enclosure.
Additionally, the door seal must be in perfect
condition.
The sealing material enclosed with the cooling
units must be applied in accordance with the
installation instructions.

Installation on enclosures
The cooling unit must be correctly installed.
The roof plate of the enclosure must not be bent
or deformed by the weight of the cooling unit.
If necessary, additional reinforcing profiles
should be used. Do not obstruct the air inlets
and outlets of the internal circuit.
Take care not to bend the side panel or
enclosure door.

Note:
For TopTherm roof-mounted units, TS 8 roof
plates prepared with mounting cut-outs and
reinforcement strips for all standard enclosure
sizes are available as an accessory.
When installing after the unit has been
assembled, the twin-threaded bolts supplied
loose should be screwed into the marked holes
in the plastic base on the underside of the
device, with a maximum torque of 3 Nm.

Attention should be paid to components/
electronic components equipped with their own
ventilation systems, such as fans and axial fans.
If their air flow is directed against the chilled air
flow of the cooling unit, this could cause an air
short-circuit and prevent adequate climate
control. In the worst case, this air short-circuit
could reach the cooling unit itself, whose internal
safety valves would then cause it to discontinue
cooling operation.

Note:
Never direct the chilled air flow at active

200 mm Arrangement of the electronic

components in the enclosure
It is important to ensure a constant air circulation
inside the enclosure. Under no circumstances
must the electrical components be allowed to
obstruct the air inlet and outlet openings in the
internal circuit, as this would prevent air from
circulating inside the enclosure. Under such
conditions, the cooling capacity of the device
would not be adequately utilised. A clearance of
> 200 mm must be guaranteed.
Wall-mounted cooling units should never be
fitted directly behind the mounting plate. Active
power components are located on the front of
the mounting plates. The cooling unit would then
be left to operate in its own air short-circuit.
If it is impossible to install the device any other
way, appropriate air baffle plates should be
used, and air inlet and outlet openings should
be provided in the mounting plate.

18 Rittal practical tips for climate control

 Enclosure cooling units / air/water heat exchangers
External circuit

Use of filter mats

In dustry environments, we recommend the use
of filter mats to make it easier to clean the
cooling unit.
The filter should be changed at regular intervals,
depending on the level of contamination.
If the air is oil-contaminated, it is better to use
metal filter mats which may be cleaned with
appropriate detergents and reused.
Cooling units that have the Rittal Comfort
Controller can alert the user when filters need
cleaning

Consideration of the external circuit

of enclosure cooling units
In the outer circuit, enclosure cooling units
should be spaced 200 – 400 mm from the wall
and/or from each other (air inlet and outlet
openings). In order to ensure adequate air
circulation, at least one air outlet opening must
be kept free.
If this clearance cannot be maintained, air baffle
plates will need to be used.
The external circuit supports all siting
variants.
Their compact dimensions and external air
routing design mean that roof-mounted cooling
units may even be installed in low-height rooms
and with bayed enclosure suites.
Air intake is always from the front. The air is
expelled at the sides and rear. An outlet at the
top is another possible option. In other words,
regardless of which siting mode is chosen, one
air outlet must always be kept free.
Siting options
There are no restrictions. Only the air intake and
exhaust area in front of the cooling unit must be
kept free.
Wall-mounted cooling units may be mounted on
the rear panel, side panels or door of the
enclosure.

A Condensate drain
Any condensation which forms on the
evaporator coil (with high humidity and low
enclosure interior temperatures) is routed to the
right and/or downwards out of the device via a
drain in the evaporator tray. For this purpose, a
piece of hose should be connected to one of the
two condensate nozzles (A or B). The drain
which is not required should be tightly
sealed. The condensate must be able to run
off freely. If the condensate is to be drained
off over a greater distance, then care must be
taken that the hose is free from kinks and a
check for correct drainage made. Units with a
Comfort controller are additionally equipped with
a condensate alarm.

Condensate drain pipe

The condensate drain pipe should be laid with a
gradient, taking care to ensure there are no
kinks in the pipe!
The internal and external units are active “direct
evaporator coils” which actively evaporate
condensate occurring above a certain
condensate level inside the evaporator via a
float-actuated switch.
Advantage:
● No collecting vessel required
● No long hosepipes

Note:
For roof and wall-mounted units, either external
evaporator units or integral condensate
evaporators may be used.
TopTherm cooling units are also optionally
available with an integral electronic condensate
evaporation system and external evaporator
units, see Innovations brochure 2005,

Any condensation which forms on the heat

exchanger (with high humidity and low
enclosure interior temperatures) is routed to
the right and/or downwards out of the device
via a drain in the heat exchanger tray. For this
purpose, a length of hose should be fitted to
one of the two condensate hose nozzles (see
illustration). The discharge which is not required
should be tightly sealed. The condensate must
be able to run off freely. If the condensate is to
be drained off over a long distance, take care
to ensure that the hose is free from kinks and
