SK3384.500 Rittal Blue e cooling unit Roof-mounted 1.5 kW 230 V 1~ 50/60 Hz Sheet steel

Why Choose the Rittal SK3384.500 Blue e Roof-Mounted Cooling Unit?

The Rittal SK3384.500 is a high-performance TopTherm Blue e roof-mounted enclosure cooling unit designed to remove excess heat from industrial electrical enclosures, automation cabinets and machinery control systems. Its roof-mounted configuration uses otherwise unused space above the enclosure, leaving enclosure doors and side panels available for equipment, baying and access.

Part of Rittal's established Blue e climate-control range, the SK3384.500 combines active refrigeration cooling with an integrated e-Comfort controller, electric condensate evaporation and a condenser with hydrophobic RiNano coating. These features support accurate temperature control, reliable condensate management and reduced maintenance requirements in continuous industrial applications.

With a nominal cooling output of 1.5 kW, a 230 V AC single-phase 50/60 Hz supply, robust sheet steel construction and IP34 protection on the external circuit, the SK3384.500 provides dependable thermal management for enclosures containing PLCs, variable speed drives, power supplies and other heat-generating electrical equipment.

Reliable Roof-Mounted Cooling for Industrial Enclosures

PLCs, variable speed drives, power supplies, contactors and other electrical components generate heat during normal operation. When installed inside a sealed enclosure, this heat can accumulate and raise internal temperatures beyond recommended operating limits. The Rittal SK3384.500 actively transfers excess heat away from the enclosure to help maintain stable conditions for temperature-sensitive equipment.

The roof-mounted configuration is particularly useful for bayed enclosure systems and installations where side-mounted climate-control equipment would obstruct access or consume valuable space. Separate internal and external air circuits allow the cooling process to take place without continuously introducing ambient factory air into the enclosure, while the e-Comfort controller manages cooling operation according to the required internal temperature.

Typical Applications

• Industrial automation and control cabinets.
• PLC and process control enclosures.
• Variable speed drive and motor control panels.
• Power electronics and power supply cabinets.
• Machine tools and production machinery.
• Manufacturing and automated production lines.
• Machine-building and OEM control systems.
• Bayed enclosure installations where side-mounted cooling is impractical.
