Feature Climate control
the accuracy of the sensed tempera- ture and adequate air distribution, before permanently enabling again when the temperature rises to 5˚C below the setpoint temperature. Cooling units may incorporate any one or a number of innovative tech- nologies in a perpetual endeavour for manufacturers to further improve their energy efficiency. However, how can they be certain of achieving claimed cooling performance and power consumption figures in practice? The current DIN EN 14511- 2 stan- dard clearly defines the test conditions to determine the cooling output and energy efficiency of air-conditioners, liquid chillers and heat pumps that use electrically driven compressors with air, water or brine as a heat exchanger. This standard also states that the speci- fied cooling output may not be lower than the measured cooling output by more than 8%. The test is used to deter- mine the total cooling output, its latent and sensible constituents, the electrical power consumption and the energy efficiency ratio (EER) of the cooling device. With this information, the effi- ciency of the cooling unit in operation may be determined.
Certification of cooling units Energy efficient cooling products,
together with complementary control components, may help in attempts to reduce energy consumption and operat- ing costs. Furthermore, the certification of cooling units guarantees their perfor- mance, offering piece of mind that the climate control solution functions just as well in practice as on paper. Rittal supplies climate control prod- ucts incorporating all of the energy saving technologies discussed and claims to be the first manufacturer worldwide to have its complete range of cooling units independently certified
by the TÜV Nord test centre for refriger- ation, air-conditioning and ventilation technology in Essen, Germany. All TopTherm cooling units may now bear the TÜV Nord mark of conformity. In supplying units with this label, Rittal commits to regular product inspections by TÜV Nord and undertakes to report all changes that may affect the perfor- mance of the product to the test house, with the devices retested if necessary.

Security zone protects data from physical threats M
odulsafe Level E is an enhanced version of Rittal’s Safe platform and is suitable for critical data that requires total protection. Creating a complete security zone around a 19in rack, this will keep practically any physical threat at bay, claims the company.
A key new feature is the use of Rittal’s new TS IT server rack in place of the TS 8. Smart protection mechanisms, including sensors and monitoring software, are said to maximise uptime. Rittal
