Comfort zone for hot converters

LCP Industry developed by Rittal

For several years now, the “LCP Industry” has been established as an effective system for the liquid-based cooling of power electronics in switchgear. Now, Rittal is offering these air/water heat exchangers with numerous improvements and advantages. Control and switchgear manufacturers, as well as users of machinery and equipment can all benefit from the cooling system’s increased flexibility and energy efficiency.

The “LCP Rack Industry” (LCP = Liquid Cooling Package) is ideal for providing efficient climate control for whole suites of enclosures. If the air/water heat exchanger is installed in the centre of a bayed enclosure suite, the cooling air is blown towards both sides in the enclosure. With a cooling output of up to 10 kW, demanding climate control requirements can be met, such as cooling frequency converters. The 30-cm wide climate control enclosure can also be ideally integrated into the Rittal TS 8 baying system.

Busbars can be fitted easily

The improved LCP Rack Industry now features recesses to allow the routing of busbar systems and cables. “This way, we are meeting the requirements of our customers, who want to use the LCP Industry in bayed enclosures with continuous busbar systems”, says Stefan Eibach, Rittal’s Climate Control Product Manager. There is space for introducing the busbar system at the top of the climate control enclosure while below that there is room for the N/PE rails. Additional cables can also be wired at both positions, which makes the LCP Rack Industry much more flexible. High performance cooling with water can thus be achieved, especially in large switchgear units with full-length busbar systems. Two enclosures can be cooled on either side of the heat exchanger enclosure.

Quiet, energy-saving and UL-listed

The energy efficiency of the new LCP Rack Industry is significantly higher than the previous version’s. EC fans are used that consume roughly half as much energy, which also helps cuts costs. The fan’s optional speed control means that the noise level can be reduced in sensitive areas. The new LCP Rack Industry already has UL Listing, which means it can be used in the USA without any problems.
