Energy-efficient enclosure cooling is more critical than ever for food & beverage manufacturers. With 24/7 operations needed to meet consumer demand and the rise of diverse product lines, energy consumption in these facilities is skyrocketing. Cooling systems play a significant role in this energy use, making it essential to adopt efficient solutions that reduce costs and enhance sustainability.

Here’s what you need to know to optimise your cooling systems and improve productivity.

Smarter Climate Control for Greater Efficiency

Traditional cooling systems often struggle to adapt to changing production demands, leading to wasted energy. In contrast, smart climate control systems offer flexibility by delivering precise cooling where and when it’s needed.

Rittal’s Blue e+ fan and filter units use Industry 4.0 and IIoT technologies to enable real-time adjustments. Operators can manage cooling outputs remotely, ensuring optimal performance with minimal energy use. Features like network notifications and app-based controls also help monitor system status and prevent energy loss by quickly responding to issues like hazardous leaks.

Precision Cooling with Digitalised Design

Digital tools are revolutionising the way cooling systems are designed and configured. Rittal’s RiTherm climate control software offers detailed calculations to ensure each cooling system is tailored to its specific environment, whether on a factory floor or in outdoor conditions.

Benefits include:

• Custom cooling solutions for unique setups.
• Faster deployment, helping businesses scale production quickly.
• Improved system insights, allowing operators to track performance and make informed adjustments.

This digital approach ensures that cooling systems not only perform efficiently but are also ready to meet future operational demands.

Simplified Maintenance for Maximum Uptime

Downtime in the food & beverage industry can lead to significant losses. Reliable cooling systems are essential for maintaining continuous production.

Rittal’s Blue e+ S units are designed for ease of maintenance. By utilising heat pipe and inverter technology, these units eliminate the need for compressors and expansion valves, reducing both complexity and energy use. They can cut energy consumption by up to 75%, while their streamlined design makes servicing faster and less disruptive.

Despite their simplicity, Blue e+ S units deliver robust cooling, offering output categories from 0.3 kW to 1 kW, ensuring that equipment stays within safe operating temperatures.
