Rittal updates thermal calculation software
Rittal’s Therm 6.3 software simplifies the often time-consuming and complicated calculation of enclosure cooling and heating requirements. Simply input the dimensions and position of your panel, the heat loss of the equipment installed, the ambient temperature, your preferred internal temperature and details of the available power supply. Then select a cooling or heating solution specific to your project requirements.
A user-friendly interface guides users step-by-step through the selection process. At the end of the calculation, a detailed report is provided which not only shows the selected product, but also the net heat transfer through the walls of the enclosure. In the case of cooling solutions, the internal temperature that would be reached without climate control.
All evaluations are based on IEC/TR3 60890 890 AMD 1 and DIN 3168 requirements for enclosure cooling units, so this useful tool also gives considerable peace of mind that suitable components have been chosen.
Enclosures can be selected from Rittal ranges or dimensions of bespoke cabinets can be entered manually. The heat dissipated by installed equipment can be input directly, calculated using actual measured enclosure internal and ambient temperatures or selected from a database of standard components.
