This white paper will explore the realities of perforated door performance in regards to the percentage of perforation open area and the airflow afforded by it. Drawing on information from the Industrial Perforators Association, thermal calculations, and internal Rittal testing, it will be shown that greater levels of perforation open area percentage in server enclosure doors do not inherently create greater airflow, and that perforation open area percentage of 63% is more than adequate for airflow and advantageous for the strength, integrity, and security of the enclosure.

Rittal enclosures are constructed using a wide range of materials - carbon and stainless steel, fiberglass, polycarbonate and aluminum. Which one is right for your application?

Today’s high density data center environments require the most efficient and effective cooling technologies available to maintain proper performance. This white paper explores the costs and benefits of utilizing liquid cooling solutions to improve the efficiency of cooling high density IT deployments—improving cooling capacity and saving money on energy consumption as evidenced by relevant statistical data.

The design and construction of the modern high density data center requires careful planning in order to meet both current needs and future demands. Important details including available space, power supply and usage, cooling needs, and selecting the best/most appropriate products to achieve design and performance goals must be addressed. This document, derived largely from conversations with engineers, end users, and vendors, provides a starting point for how to assess specific needs in the aforementioned areas and offers suggestions on how to satisfy them without recommendation of any specific manufacturer or product.

Rittal uses an exclusive three-phase paint process to give its enclosures the ultimate in protection and corrosion resistance.

Purging/pressurization systems permit the safe operation of electrical/electronic equipment under hazardous conditions - but what does that really mean? How is purging different from pressurization?

A quick reference for converting Imperial/Metric measurements.

Electromagnetic compatibility or EMC has become a very important factor in the selection of housings and enclosures. To protect sensitive electronics against the effects of electromagnetic interference, EMI shielding is an absolute must.

When selecting the correct floor-mount or freestanding electrical enclosure for your control system, there are more variables that impact your final solution, than you might realize. Walk through these 10 steps to find the right modular enclosure for your application
