Why Choose the Rittal SK3286.970 Air Duct System?
The Rittal SK3286.970 is an industrial air duct system for compatible Rittal cooling units, designed for use with the SK 3386 and SK 3387 cooling unit ranges. It provides targeted routing of cold air inside electrical enclosures, helping ensure cooled air reaches specific areas where heat-generating components are installed.
By directing the cold airflow from the cooling unit through the enclosure, the air duct system can help prevent temperature differences and reduce the likelihood of thermal hotspots around sensitive electrical and electronic equipment. Individual air outlets can be positioned as required, making the system particularly useful in densely populated control cabinets where unrestricted airflow may not provide adequate cooling to every component.
The SK3286.970 measures 229 mm wide × 1500 mm high × 29 mm deep and is designed as a dedicated accessory for compatible Rittal enclosure climate control installations. Its modular arrangement provides a practical method of improving internal air distribution without requiring additional active cooling equipment.
Key Advantages
- Purpose-designed air duct system for Rittal cooling units.
- Suitable for compatible Rittal SK 3386 and SK 3387 cooling unit ranges.

Targeted Air Distribution for Enclosure Climate Control
Effective enclosure cooling depends not only on removing heat but also on distributing conditioned air to the components that require it. An air duct system allows cold air from the cooling unit to be channelled through the cabinet rather than relying solely on unrestricted internal circulation.
The Rittal SK3286.970 is particularly useful where high heat loads are concentrated in defined areas or where densely installed components can obstruct natural airflow. Directing cooling air towards these locations can support more consistent operating temperatures and help maintain reliable conditions for drives, controllers, power electronics and other temperature-sensitive equipment.
