3.1Functional description and components
3.1.1Function
There are two separate cooling circuits installed in the
cooling unit.
– One conventional refrigerant circuit (compression sys-
tem), and
– One heat pipe integrated into the condenser and
evaporator coil.
Refrigerant circuit with compression system
The refrigerant circuit with compression system is comprised of the following four main components:
1. Evaporator coil
2. Compressor
3. Condenser
4. Expansion valve
The evaporator coil fan draws hot air from the enclosure
in the internal circuit of the cooling unit and passes it
over the evaporator coil. After the evaporator coil, the
cooled air is fed back into the enclosure via the outlet
opening.
The air is cooled down by evaporating the refrigerant in
the evaporator coil. The refrigerant vapour is transported
by the compressor in the external circuit of the cooling
unit to the condenser. There, the refrigerant condenses
and becomes a liquid. The heat produced is dissipated
by the condenser fan. The downstream electronic expansion valve reduces the high pressure of the refrigerant, and the refrigerant is then fed back into the evaporator coil.
Both the compressor and the two fans in the cooling unit
are activated via an inverter. This makes it possible to
control these components, so that the fan and compressor may be activated for a longer time but at a lower output and improved efficiency.

pressure monitor
In both cooling circuits, the individual components are
connected with pipes in which the refrigerant R134a is
circulating. This refrigerant is very environmentally friendly, thanks to the following properties:
–Chlorine-free
– Does not deplete the ozone layer (ozone destruction
potential ODP = 0)
Refrigerant circuit with heat pipe
The additional second refrigerant circuit operates without a compressor, expansion valve or other control elements, and is integrated into the evaporator coil and
condenser as a heat pipe.
The refrigerant inside the heat pipe (R134a) absorbs
thermal energy from the intake of enclosure air and
evaporates. The gaseous refrigerant then rises through
the pipeline until it reaches the condenser. The refrigerant is cooled down again in the condenser (provided Tu
< Ti), and the heat released is emitted into the environment. Gravity then causes the liquid refrigerant to flow
back down the pipelines. The whole cycle begins again.

3.1.3Control
Rittal enclosure cooling units are fitted with a controller
for setting the functions of the cooling unit.
Operation using this controller is described in section 7
"Operation".
3.1.4Safety devices
– In the refrigerant circuit, the cooling units have a type-
tested pressure monitor (to EN 12263) which switches
off the cooling unit if the maximum admissible pressure is exceeded. Once the pressure drops back below the admissible pressure, the unit will automatically
resume operation.
– Temperature monitoring prevents the evaporator coil
from icing over. If there is a risk of icing, the compressor switches itself off and automatically switches itself
back on again at higher temperatures.
– The compressor is monitored and protected by the in-
verter to prevent overloading.
– The fans have a built-in overload protection with auto-
matic reset.
– In order to allow a reduction of pressure inside the
compressor and hence a safe restart, once it has been
switched off (e.g. upon reaching the set temperature
via the door limit switch function or via de-energising),
the device will switch back on with a delay of 180 seconds.
– The device has floating contacts on the connection
pins on terminals 1 and 3 of the signal connector (X2),
via which system messages from the device may be
polled, e.g. using a PLC (2 x normally closed or normally open contacts).
3.1.5Condensation
At high levels of humidity and low temperatures inside
the enclosure, condensate water may form on the evaporator coil.
The cooling units have an automatic electrical condensate water evaporator. The thermal component used for
this purpose is based on self-regulating PTC technology. Condensate water arising on the evaporator coil is
collected in a tank in the external circuit of the cooling
unit, and partially evaporated via the airflow. When the
water level rises, the water enters the PTC thermal component and is evaporated (through-flow heater principle). The water vapour streams out of the cooling unit
with the airflow from the external fan.
The PTC thermal component is activated automatically
when the compressor is running, and continues to run
for around 15 minutes after the compressor has been
switched off. During the after-run phase, the condenser
fan will likewise continue to run at low speed.
In the event of a short-circuit in the PTC component or if
there is a risk of inverter overload (possible at high ambient temperatures), the PTC component will be deactivated. This means that any condensate water arising
can be discharged via the safety overflow.
If the fuse has tripped, any condensate water is drained
off via the safety overflow. The condensation is routed
downwards out of the unit via a drain pipe on the evaporator coil divider panel. For this purpose, a hose may be
connected to the condensate water nozzle (see section
5.3.8 "Connect the condensate water discharge").
3.1.6Filter mats
The entire cooling unit condenser is covered with a dirtrepelling, easy-to-clean RiNano coating. In many applications, therefore, the use of filter media is unnecessary,
particularly with dry dusts.
For dry, coarse dust and lint in the ambient air, we recommend installing an additional PU foam filter mat (available as an accessory) in the cooling unit. Depending on
the incidence of dust, you will need to replace the filter
mat from time to time (see section 8 "Inspection and
maintenance").
For oily ambient air, we recommend the use of metal filters (also available as an accessory). These may be
cleaned with suitable detergents and reused.

3 Product description
EN
3.1.7Door limit switch
The cooling unit may be operated with a floating door
limit switch connected. The door limit switch is available
as accessory from Rittal.
The door limit switch function causes the fans and the
compressor in the cooling unit to gradually slow down
and then switch off after approximately 15 seconds
when the enclosure door is opened (contacts 1 and 2
closed). This prevents the formation of condensate water inside the enclosure while the enclosure door is
open. In order to prevent damage to the unit, it is
equipped with an ON delay: The evaporator fan will cut
in again after a delay of a few seconds on closure of the
door.
Please note that no external voltage may be applied to
the door contacts (terminals 1 and 2)
3.2Proper use, foreseeable misuse
The cooling unit is only intended for cooling connected
enclosures. Any other use is not permitted.
– The unit must not be installed and operated in loca-
tions which are accessible to the general public (see
DIN EN 60335-2-40, paragraph 3.119).
– The unit is designed solely for stationary use.
– The manufacturer's consent must be obtained in ad-
vance for mobile applications, e.g. on cranes.
The cooling unit is state of the art and built according to
recognised safety regulations. Nevertheless, improper
use can pose a threat to the life and limb of the user or
third parties, or result in possible damage to the system
and other property.

5.3Assembly procedure
5.3.1Assembly instructions
Before assembling, please ensure that the enclosure
is sealed on all sides (IP 54). Increased condensation
will occur later during operation if the enclosure is not
airtight.
If applicable, additionally fit a door limit switch (such as
4127.010) to the enclosure which switches off the
cooling unit when the enclosure door is opened to pre-
vent excessive condensation (see section 3.1.7 "Door
limit switch").
Please ensure that the electronic assemblies in the en-
closure allow the even circulation of air.
Please be sure to observe the applicable regulations
governing electrical installations of the country in
which the device is installed and operated, as well as
national regulations for accident prevention. Please
also observe any internal company regulations, such
as work, operating and safety regulations.
The technical specifications and limit values stated
must not be exceeded under any circumstances. In
particular, this applies to the specified ambient temperature range and IP protection category.
5.2Siting location requirements
When choosing the installation site for the enclosure,
please observe the following:
– The site for the enclosure, and hence the positioning
of the cooling unit, must be carefully selected so as to
ensure good ventilation (clearance between cooling
units and clearance between a cooling unit and the
wall must be at least 200 mm in each case).
– The cooling unit must be installed and operated with a
maximum deviation of 2° from the vertical.
10Rittal enclosure cooling unit
Fig. 4:Never direct the cold airflow at active components
Under no circumstances should the air inlet and outlet
openings of the cooling unit be obstructed. Only in this
way is it possible to ensure that the maximum cooling
output is available.
Please ensure that the cold airflow from the cooling
unit is not directed at active components.
Fig. 5:Never direct the cold airflow at active components
If appropriate, install components to divert the air.
When installing in a dismantled door or side panel,
please ensure that it cannot fall over when installing
the cooling unit in the mounting cut-out.
Note:
The pictures in this chapter illustrate the in-
stallation of the cooling unit in an enclosure
door. Installation in a side panel is carried out
in the same way.
5.3.2Mounting options
In principle, there are three different options for installing
the cooling unit on an enclosure door or side panel.
– External mounting: All of the cooling unit is outside the
enclosure.
– Partial internal mounting The cooling unit chassis is in-
side the enclosure, while the cover and the louvred
grilles are outside.
– Full internal mounting: All of the cooling unit is inside
the enclosure. Only the louvred grilles project on the
outside.
Note:
– Full installation of the 6 kW cooling unit is
not possible.
– On an enclosure with 500 mm depth, the
unit may only be externally mounted on the
side panel.
Your chosen installation option will ultimately depend on
how much space you require inside and outside of the
enclosure. The various mounting options have no influence on the cooling output of the cooling unit, which remains the same in all cases.
– If there are a large number of components installed in-
side the enclosure, external mounting or partial internal mounting of the cooling unit may be appropriate. In such cases, the space inside the enclosure may
be insufficient for full internal mounting, or it may not
be possible to guarantee adequate cooling of all components inside the enclosure.
– If the space surrounding the enclosure is limited,
full internal mounting may be suitable, so as to keep
essential escape routes clear.

5 Installation
5.3.3Make a mounting cut-out in the enclosure
In order to mount the cooling unit on the enclosure, a
suitable mounting cut-out must be made in the door or
side panel of the enclosure. In principle, the mounting
cut-out is identical for all three mounting options. A special mounting cut-out is only required for external mounting on the side panel of a 500 mm deep enclosure.
Note:
The dimensions of the mounting cut-outs
can be found in section 12.1 "Representation
of mounting cut-outs".
Using the diagrams in section 12.1 "Representation of
mounting cut-outs", calculate the required dimensions
for your mounting cut-out .
Drill all the required holes and make the mounting cutout.
Carefully deburr all drilled holes and the cut-out to prevent injuries caused by sharp edges.
Caution!
Drilled holes and cut-outs that have not
been fully deburred may cause cut injuries, particularly when assembling the
cooling unit.
5.3.4External mounting of the cooling unit
Note:
The description in this section does not ap-
ply to external mounting of the cooling unit on
the side panel of a 500 mm deep enclosure.
This is described in section 5.3.5 "Mounting
the cooling unit externally on a 500 mm deep
enclosure".

secured with the threaded bolt.
Cut the sealing tape in the dispatch bag to the required length so that it can be placed all the way round
the rear of the cooling unit once.
Start by positioning the sealing tape on the bottom
edge, so that the joint between the two ends of the
sealing tape is likewise on the lower edge of the unit.
Carefully stick the sealing tape as close to the edge as
possible on the rear of the cooling unit.
Screw the four threaded bolts into the blind nuts in the
corners at the rear of the cooling unit.

on the enclosure.
5.3.5Mounting the cooling unit externally on a
500 mm deep enclosure
Note:
The description in this section applies to ex-
ternal mounting of the cooling unit on the
side panel of a 500 mm deep enclosure. External mounting on deeper enclosures is also
possible with this type of installation.
In principle, external mounting on the side panel is carried out in the same way as described in section 5.3.4
"External mounting of the cooling unit". However, please
note the following differences:
– Six threaded bolts are required for installation, rather
than four.
5.3.6Partial internal mounting of the cooling unit
At the front of the cooling unit, pull the top louvred
grille away from the mounting clips on the cover, and
place or lay it down somewhere safe.
