Simple and Low Maintenance Air to Air Heat Exchangers

Air to Air Heat Exchangers provide a simple, stand-alone, low maintenance and energy efficient means of cooling electrical enclosures. The effectiveness of Air to Air Heat Exchangers is fundamentally dependent upon the ambient air temperature and the required internal air temperature; not only must the former be lower than the latter but the available cooling output varies with the difference between them.

Air to Air Heat Exchangers have only two moving parts, an internal fan and an external fan, which draw air through separate circuits of a heat exchanger, ensuring that the ambient air, which may be aggressive, or any debris or contaminants present in it, are not permitted ingress into the enclosure.

The fans fitted in the Rittal Air to Air Heat Exchanger are maintenance-free and therefore maintenance is limited to cleaning between the lamellae of the aluminium heat exchanger, which may be removed both quickly and easily. Debris and coarse dust particles or oil vapour may be removed from the ambient air prior to the heat exchanger using either a polyurethane (PU) foam filter mat or a metallic filter mat respectively.

Since the Air to Air Heat Exchanger requires only an electrical supply and its energy consumption is limited to that of two fans, the energy efficiency of this cooling solution is greater than that of alternatives that utilise refrigerant.

Rittal Air to Air Heat Exchangers are available as either roof-mounted or wall-mounted variants and for either internal or external use and so there is a product suitable for most applications should the ambient air temperature and the required internal air temperature permit.

At Routeco we have a great, easy to use thermal label to help you determine the temperature of your products. By adhering the small label to an internal surface of your enclosure, you will be able to see how hot or cold it is from the temperature gauge. The thermal label is quick to stick with results appearing straight away and is suitable for all types of equipment.

To request your free thermal label please email info@routeco.com and one of our sales engineers will come and help select the best product for you.
