Rittal North America LLC, a leading manufacturer of enclosures and climate control solutions, introduces a new UL 3R/4 rated cooling unit for outdoor use.

The new product extends the Blue e line of air conditioners and fills a void in the marketplace for outdoor-compliant enclosure climate control.

The Blue e unit is compatible with the award-winning IoT interface to provide network interconnectivity, and remote monitoring and control.

Other key benefits include:

• Eye bolt for transport and easy installation (>1000W)
• Nano-coated condenser
• Vandal-resistant comfort controller located inside the enclosure
• Integrated condensate evaporator (>1000W)

“We’re always expanding our product portfolio to meet the needs of our customers,” said Mike Freund, managing director for Rittal North America LLC. “The new 3R/4 cooling unit is a best-in-class climate solution that delivers protection and peace of mind to our customers. They know Rittal quality will protect their equipment year-after-year in the world’s most challenging environments.”
