Control costs

Maintaining the operating temperature of control systems can decrease the risk of premature component failure, optimise component life expectancy and reduce costs, according to Rittal.

The company adopts a comprehensive approach to the selection of cooling equipment, considering energy consumption, servicing and maintenance, as well as procurement. Rittal says that although use of ambient air may be the most efficient form of cooling, the energy consumption of all enclosure climate control solutions is constantly reducing with the incorporation of new technologies.

Use of EC motor technology, innovative component design and improved software all contribute to energy savings and reduced costs, helping to conserve the environment and increase component service life.

The electronic removal of condensate, nano-coating of condenser coils and removal of filters all yield savings in the areas of installation, servicing and maintenance.
