Why Choose the Rittal SK 3180.800 Blue e+ S Wall-Mounted Cooling Unit?
The Rittal SK 3180.800 is a high-efficiency Blue e+ S wall-mounted enclosure cooling unit designed for reliable thermal management of industrial electrical enclosures, control panels and automation systems. Using Rittal Blue e+ hybrid cooling technology, it combines active compressor-based cooling with heat-pipe operation to reduce energy consumption while maintaining stable enclosure temperatures.
With a rated cooling output of 0.78 kW at L35 L35, the SK 3180.800 is suitable for removing heat generated by drives, PLCs, power electronics and other temperature-sensitive components. Its integrated e+ controller provides precise temperature regulation, while multi-voltage capability enables operation from 110–240 V AC, single-phase, 50/60 Hz.
The compact wall-mounted unit measures 300 × 570 × 250 mm and incorporates an integral electric condensate evaporator for simplified condensate management. The internal air circuit provides IP55 protection, while environmentally improved R-513A refrigerant supports efficient refrigeration performance in demanding industrial applications.

Energy-Efficient Cooling for Industrial Enclosures
The Rittal Blue e+ S platform combines passive heat-pipe cooling with variable-speed compressor refrigeration to match cooling performance to the actual thermal load. When ambient conditions permit, heat can be transferred without operating the compressor, helping reduce electrical consumption and mechanical wear while maintaining a controlled enclosure temperature.
When additional cooling is required, the active refrigerant circuit supplements the heat-pipe system to provide up to 0.78 kW of cooling output. The integrated e+ controller regulates operation according to enclosure conditions, while the separate internal and external airflow circuits help prevent ambient contamination from entering the enclosure.
