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 lead to tripping or failing control components are avoidable
• 80% 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.”
For businesses with Rittal enclosure cooling equipment installed the process will involve an engineer conducting the review which will provide:
• Confirmation as to the condition of the devices
• An assessment of their cleanliness, function and serviceability
• An asset list documenting status of each enclosure
• A quotation (if required) based on the most appropriate solution for moving forward
• On-going service suggestions and offers, tailored to the site itself
