Trend-setter in innovative climate control technology
16 November 2005Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
At the Hanover Fair 2004, Rittal became the first industrial enclosure climate control manufacturer to present CO2 climate control concepts. The company has long been working on refining alternative cooling methods, as well as on environmentally-friendly refrigerants. While Rittal was successful in eliminating chlorine from refrigerants 13 years ago with its ProOzon initiative, it is now entering a completely new environmentally- friendly era with CO2 climate control.
Working closely with scientists, development is proceeding rapidly. The first prototypes were already available early 2004. Automobile manufacturers, who were also at the forefront of CFC elimination, are planning to switch to CO2 solutions in 2008. Rittal will be a front-runner again in the field of industrial climate control when this happens.
Rittal is also placing particular emphasis on the field of nanocoatings for cooling units. Nanocoatings are ultra-thin, glassy sealing coatings on the heat exchanger fins on Rittal's TopTherm climate control units, which result in a significant reduction of dirt and grime on the fins, and therefore to the long-term preservation of the performance capability of the units. The fins are particularly sensitive to dirt and grime, and dirty fins can result in a reduction of the cooling capacity of 30 to 50%.
Rittal has subjected its innovative RiNano coating to more rigorous analyses, and has already successfully tested its effectiveness. To test its effectiveness, Volkswagen in Kassel-Baunatal, Germany, was provided with RiNano-coated TopTherm climate control units for application in the most extreme conditions. Since the Hanover Fair 2005, RiNano-coated climate control unit models have been in stock and available for delivery.
