ARE YOU COOL ABOUT YOUR ENCLOSURE CLIMATE CONTROL PERFORMANCE Users of Rittal enclosure cooling technology are being offered free on-site inspection surveys to ensure that their production and process critical equipment is being adequately protected. he offer is available for a limited period and extends to any business with Rittal climate control installations, ranging from top therm, roof mounted fans, to Blue e or Blue e+ cooling units, all of which manage the temperature inside their enclosures. The user does not have to have previously registered with Rittal for their cooling units to qualify. T Excessive temperature or overheating in an electrical enclosure means that enclosure cooling is very important for a number of reasons: • • Unplanned interruptions to production due to tripping or failing control components are costly • Excessive temperature affects the correct operation and service life of electrical equipment • High temperatures that lea d to tripping or failing control components are avoidable 80 per cent of control component failures may be addressed with a suitable cooling solution Marketing Director Simon Kelemen says, “The costs of downtime, loss of production and system shut-down due to equipment running over temperature can easily exceed £10,000 per hour. I don’t know any businesses that would be happy to right that off, particularly as it’s entirely avoidable.” Hygienic Design Extra cleanliness guaranteed ENCLOSURES POWER DISTRIBUTION CLIMATE CONTROL
