Calculating climate control requirements with RiTherm

The ultimate planning tool for enclosure climate control

Every degree counts.

When it comes to protecting critical equipment, it's not worth leaving anything up to chance. Increasing component temperatures by just 10℃ reduces service life by half, and just a short period of downtime could have serious repercussions. So every degree really does matter. 

It's crucial to strike the perfect balance between cost-effectiveness, energy saving and environmental protection when designing your enclosure’s climate control system.

Let RiTherm do the hard work for you!

New:

  • RiTherm now enables thermal calculation for outdoor enclosures
  • Calculation and selection depending on the ambient conditions (indoor and outdoor applications)
  • More accurate costings for bayed enclosures as a result of division into customised “heat loss zones”
  • Improved documentation thanks to separate designation of the cooling output buffer
  • Simplified product selection process because of customised product recommendations
  • Support for compliance with international F-gas regulations due to GWP data and review of climate-control design

Calculate enclosure climate control requirements with ease – thanks to the RiTherm planning tool

Climate control calculations for enclosures
Even better. Even easier.

RiTherm planning software helps you increase your performance and save time. Because you can quickly and reliably plan precisely the correct climate control system for your enclosures with greater certainty. And, of course, with standards-compliant documentation included.

For the environment – the most energy-efficient and cost-effective solution every time.

RiTherm offers clear recommendations for boosting the energy efficiency of switchgears. This means you can rely on meeting your customers’ energy efficiency requirements.

The energy efficiency calculation is integrated, and also verifies with proof the associated carbon footprint.

When it comes to climate control planning software, Rittal is leading the way. Since it was rolled out 35 years ago, we have kept more than 80,000 customers around the world very happy and carry out over 200,000 climate control calculations every year.

The new climate control calculation in RiTherm covers:

  • Calculation and selection depending on the ambient conditions (indoor and outdoor applications)
  • Option of specifying altitude (which influences cooling output)
  • Precise calculation for bayed enclosure suites
  • Recommendations for suitable and corresponding accessories for your enclosure climate control system
  • Energy efficiency calculation for specific climate zones
  • Recommendations of more energy-efficient alternatives
  • Calculation of the climate control carbon footprint, from delivery through to operation
  • Information on F-gases/Global Warming Potential (GWP value)
  • Language selection for documentation download
  • Standards-compliant heat dissipation certificate
  • Provision of all necessary product information (e.g. approvals)
  • Statement of product lifecycle status and notification of successor products
