Rittal’s newly redesigned rain hoods allow for the of low cost fan cooling in any environment including harsh chemical and wash-down locations.  Rittal’s fan & filter rain hoods are available in powder coated carbon steel offering NEMA 3R and NEMA 4 protection.  The powder coated versions are RAL 7035 (light grey) blending in with colour and texture of Rittal’s line of industrial enclosures. 

The stainless steel version offers NEMA 4X protection. The surface of the rain hood is a #4 brushed surface matching the surface of Rittal’s stainless steel enclosures.

Rittal’s new Top Therm fans and filters provide CSA certified NEMA 12 protection right out of the box.  With the addition of a standard fan & filter rain hood this high level of standard protection can be increased to NEMA 3R, 4 or 4X.  The fan & filter rain hoods install over top of the standard Top Therm fan and filter units and can be easily done as a field retrofit. Installation is a simple matter of drilling 4 holes and fastening the hood’s mounting bracket to the side of the enclosure.  The hood slides over and clips in to the mounting bracket.  The blue silicon gasket makes a tight seal with the surface of the enclosure to maintain the required NEMA protection level.  Be it NEMA 3R, 4 or 4X.

There is a blue silicone gasket gasket that provides the NEMA rated seal to the enclosure.  This blue silicon material is easy to clean and makes it easy to see any contaminants left behind after the wash down process.

Rittal perfected the concept of the industrial modular enclosure with its TS8 modular enclosure. This revolutionary system, designed specifically for demanding industrial applications, features a 16- fold tubular frame and multi-level mounting capability for unsurpassed strength and flexibility.

With its new generation of enclosure heaters, Rittal has succeeded in developing a product can create the optimal operating environment within enclosures for control equipment and switchgear while at the same time meeting energy efficiency demands.

Through the utilization of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) and energy-efficient PTC (positive temperature coefficient) technology, Rittal heaters now allow a better thermal output than previous solutions. New features, such as the double clamp-type terminal connection and the quick-assembly system, also ensure time-saving installation.

The formation of condensation in enclosures poses risks, in particular to sensitive control electronics located outdoors. Enclosure heaters that prevent the formation of condensation while also ensuring the system has a minimum operating temperature are required for effective protection. Now, with its latest generation of enclosure heaters, Rittal shows that technical improvements are still possible.

The heaters are available both without and with fans. The heaters without fans have a continuous thermal output of 10 to 150 watts. Using integrated fans, the thermal output can be variably increased by as much as 800 W if needed. The heaters have a ready-to-connect design and, thanks to the double quick-connection terminal, can be effectively wired and cascaded without any additional screw terminals being needed. A snap fastening feature ensures time and cost saving installation.

The use of enclosure heaters can be easily incorporated even when fans and cooling units are employed. Ideal operational results can be achieved through the use of Rittal thermostats and/or hygrostats.
