When it comes to enclosure climate control, properly sizing the heating or cooling device is essential to achieve energy and monetary savings. The process should be based on an accurate assessment of the sum heat output, ambient temperature variation, and the required enclosure temperature, but, oh my, is it a time-consuming and often confusing process.
Thankfully, Rittal created Therm, a software that makes this process MUCH easier for anyone to achieve. Watch my video for a step-by-step guide, and keep reading to download and use this helpful software.
Watch my video below for a step-by-step tutorial on Therm.
Therm is based on the requirements of IEC/TR3 60890 890 AMD 1 and DIN 3168 for enclosure cooling units. And the overtemperature to DIN 61439 can be calculated with a single click.

By selecting the correct size air conditioner, organizations have saved thousands of dollars per year. Having a larger than necessary air conditioning unit means larger than necessary energy bills, and that's for the next... how many years until you get a new unit? Those costs add up!
On the other hand, an air conditioner that's too small will run continuously and not control the temperature correctly, leading to component burnout, possible heat-related machine safety hazards, fatigued production, and possible injury. It is so important to select the correct size air conditioner for enclosures to save money.
