Why Choose the Rittal Blue e+ S SK3178.800 Wall-Mounted Cooling Unit?

The Rittal Blue e+ S SK3178.800 is a compact, high-efficiency wall-mounted enclosure cooling unit designed for dependable thermal management of industrial electrical and electronic enclosures. Part of the advanced Rittal Blue e+ S series, it combines proven Blue e+ technology with smart monitoring functions, multi-voltage capability and environmentally considerate R-513A refrigerant.

Designed to reduce energy consumption and the carbon footprint of machinery and systems, the SK3178.800 delivers a total cooling output of 0.3 kW at L35/L35. Separate internal and external air circuits maintain effective enclosure cooling while helping protect sensitive components from the surrounding environment. The integrated e+ controller provides precise temperature management, while optional IoT connectivity supports intelligent monitoring.

The SK3178.800 operates from a versatile 110–240 V AC, single-phase, 50/60 Hz supply and features an integral electric condensate evaporator for convenient condensate management. Its compact 300 × 570 × 159 mm design makes it suitable for modern control cabinets where efficient cooling and minimal installation depth are important.

Efficient Climate Control for Industrial Enclosures

Industrial enclosure cooling units such as the Rittal Blue e+ S SK3178.800 maintain controlled internal temperatures by transferring heat away from sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. Separate internal and external air circuits help prevent ambient air from directly entering the enclosure while allowing excess heat generated by drives, PLCs, power supplies and other components to be dissipated effectively.

Blue e+ technology combines active compressor cooling with heat pipe operation to improve energy efficiency across changing environmental conditions. Together with intelligent temperature control, multi-voltage operation and optional IoT monitoring, the SK3178.800 provides a flexible climate control solution for modern machinery and automation installations.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial electrical control cabinets.
  • PLC and automation enclosures.
  • Variable speed drive and motor control cabinets.
  • Machine tool and production equipment.
  • Power distribution and electronic equipment enclosures.
  • OEM machinery and manufacturing automation systems.
