What Does Rittal Do: Climate Control that Delivers Efficiency, Protection and Performance

Written by Rittal | Jun 12, 2025 12:15:00 AM

Today, managing heat is more than just a maintenance task - it’s a strategic priority. With more automation, denser electronics, and 24/7 operations, ensuring stable thermal conditions inside enclosures is vital to avoid downtime, protect assets, and maintain performance.

That’s where Rittal comes in. Our advanced climate control solutions are designed to deliver optimal efficiency while reducing environmental impact, supporting a smarter, more sustainable future across industrial, manufacturing, and IT environments.

Climate Control that Fits Your Environment

Rittal’s climate control offering includes everything from simple fan-and-filter units to state-of-the-art liquid cooling systems. Each solution is tailored to meet the needs of specific environments and applications, whether you're protecting electronics in a dusty workshop, cooling process machinery, or stabilising temperature in an IT server rack.

And because our systems are engineered to integrate seamlessly with Rittal enclosures, you can be confident that your setup is both technically sound and cost-efficient.

1. Air Cooling – Simplicity and Cost-Effectiveness

For applications where ambient air is clean and relatively cool, Rittal’s air cooling systems provide a reliable, low-cost climate control solution.

  • Fan-and-filter units remove internal heat with fresh ambient air—ideal for lighter-duty enclosures in stable environments.

  • Roof-mounted fans offer efficient air routing with IP54 protection and minimal pressure loss.

  • Air-air heat exchangers allow for enclosed heat removal where ambient air contact must be minimised.

These systems are easily deployed, economical to run, and supported by tools like RiTherm, Rittal’s thermal load calculator, to ensure accurate selection and sizing.


2. Active Cooling – Performance Without Compromise

When internal heat loads are high or ambient conditions are harsh, active cooling systems offer a precise and enclosed solution.

  • Blue e+ cooling units lead the market in energy efficiency, with hybrid technology, internal sensors, and intelligent thermal management that adjusts output dynamically, cutting energy use by up to 75% in some cases.

  • Available in wall-mounted or roof-mounted configurations, these systems are suitable for high-demand industrial settings, electronics, or mission-critical processes.

Unlike basic cooling, these systems maintain internal conditions without introducing outside air, greatly reducing dust ingress and contamination risk.

3. Liquid Cooling – Built for Demanding Applications

For extreme environments such as heavy industry, outdoor installations, or high-heat process zones—Rittal’s liquid cooling systems offer powerful and efficient temperature control.

  • Air-water heat exchangers cool internal air using a chilled water loop, supporting enclosure temperatures even when external air is hot, dirty, or unstable.

  • Chillers provide a stable cooling source for machines, processes, or enclosures, offering higher performance for operations that simply can’t risk overheating.

  • Our Hygienic Design variants are purpose-built for food and beverage environments, with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces and IP-rated protection, supporting compliance with strict hygiene standards.

Integrated Efficiency from Design to Maintenance

Rittal doesn’t just supply climate control products,  we support efficiency throughout the entire system lifecycle. From selection and configuration to servicing and upgrade planning:


  • Modular cooling concepts, such as door-integrated units, can be retrofitted without machining—ideal for active operations.

  • Smart monitoring options and condition-based maintenance tools help reduce unexpected breakdowns and service costs.

Climate Control as Part of a Bigger Picture

Cooling is just one part of Rittal’s integrated infrastructure ecosystem. When used alongside EPLAN design tools and ePOCKET, Rittal climate control solutions become even more powerful.

  • EPLAN ProPanel helps you configure and virtually commission your control systems with precision, ensuring thermal load calculations are accurate and enclosures are optimally designed.

  • ePOCKET, Rittal’s digital documentation solution, stores wiring diagrams, system data, and cooling specs directly on the enclosure, enabling fast diagnostics, better compliance, and streamlined maintenance.

Why Energy-Efficient Cooling Matters

All climate control systems use energy, but choosing a smart, efficient cooling unit can significantly reduce your consumption and emissions. For businesses working toward net-zero targets or simply looking to reduce costs, upgrading to Blue e+ or integrating liquid cooling with smarter controls offers measurable returns.

Cooling may only be one part of your operation, but when it fails, the impact can be immediate, expensive, and widespread. With Rittal, you’re not just getting a cooling unit,  you’re investing in performance, protection, and future-ready resilience.
