Solution for condensation problems
Rittal hygrostats and heaters prevent condensation, which is the primary cause of oxidation and can cause serious damage to expensive equipment housed in an enclosure - which can cause problems
The double walled sides and door also provide an effective barrier against condensation, which tends to form on the coldest internal surface (the inside of the outer wall), which is then discharged through the bottom edge of the panel.
To further offset the effects of direct sunlight, the rain canopy is also double skinned including vented sections at the front and rear where additional protection is provided over the doors to prevent water ingress during opening.
Performance may be enhanced by the addition of climate control devices including heat exchangers and chillers that can be integrated into the doors.
For extreme conditions, supplementary heaters can be supplied linked to thermostatic control, in addition to the heat already generated by the contained system, to maintain operational temperatures regardless of the climate outside.
The vandal resistant CS Toptec range is available with a wide range of accessories, including plinths, mounting plate, mounting angles for 19inch installation, gland plates and lifting eyebolts. Request a free brochure from Rittal ...
