Heat is the enemy of extending the life of your electronics. Heat attacks your equipment from all sides: on the outside with extreme variations in ambient temperatures and inside with high thermal loads caused by the high density of components within the enclosure. The challenge is to manage temperatures consistently on both ends of the thermal spectrum in any environment.

Rittal industrial climate solutions lengthen the life of your components, optimize performance and reduce equipment failure. Time is money, and uptime ensures your operations are profitable.

Sources of damaging heat

The trend toward high equipment density in enclosures challenges the heat removal process. Components, even those rated for high heat use, degrade when the heat load rises. Not only do enclosure temperatures rise from the waste heat generated inside but also from external environmental factors.

Deployment of mission-critical enclosures into harsh environments increases the level of heat risk to the components inside. Your thermal control system must manage the impact of any factor that inhibits air flow and increases temperature.

Higher temperatures increase downtime

Generated heat must be removed efficiently or heat damage will occur. Controlling units and microprocessors age quickly under heat pressure. If left unchecked, small nuisance malfunctions may be the first sign of overheating and lead to a sudden catastrophic failure that can cost thousands in downtime costs, and derail your project timeline.
