The perfect outdoor solution for every industry – as a standard product

Is your industry or field of business tied to particular outdoor locations? Perhaps to provide access to resources and thus to guarantee efficient procurement and processing? Or maybe to be able to offer your products within your customers’ own infrastructural environment?

In both cases, trouble-free operation of your installations in all weathers is a prerequisite.  This can often be quite a challenge, depending on the environment and local ambient conditions. To safeguard mission-critical operation and avoid cost-intensive downtimes, it is crucial that all components are well protected.

Your industry

Process industry

Maximum system availability is imperative

Where the failure of a single component often brings the whole process to a standstill, plant and equipment must be afforded maximum protection. In outdoor areas, wide temperature fluctuations are particularly significant.

Water industry

Protection for critical infrastructures

Operational readiness is a matter of system-relevant importance. For outdoor applications, the enclosures and climate control systems must demonstrate high durability and resistance to aggressive chemicals such as chlorine.

Maritime industry

Cresting the waves

The maritime industry must be prepared to face rough seas. On-board and quayside installations must take stormy waters in their stride. Salt, gales, vibration and extreme temperature variations are further challenges for outdoor enclosures.

Charging infrastructure

Charging infrastructure. Standardised, safe and fast.

The key to e-mobility is a widespread charging infrastructure. Charging stations must be protected against corrosion, vandalism and the elements. The heavy components also place extremely high stability demands on the backend installations.

Renewable energies

Safeguarding the energy transition

There is no alternative to power generation by way of wind turbines and photovoltaic installations. The energy transition will only be possible based on environment-friendly and future-oriented renewable energies sector.

Power supply systems

Infrastructure – broader, more powerful and smarter

The power supply infrastructure faces significant challenges. On the one hand, the demand for electricity is increasing. At the same time, power generation using renewable energies is subject to considerably greater fluctuations.

Energy storage

Stable energy supplies – at all times at every location

The ongoing energy transition, characterised not only by fluctuating power generation from renewable sources, but also by increasing energy consumption, calls for storage systems that are optimally protected against vandalism and the elements.

Smart City

Efficiently designed urban areas

Traffic control systems, air pollution measurement, traffic light coordination and many other outdoor applications form the basis for climate-friendly and more liveable cities. Robust and durable enclosures with effective vandalism protection keep the...

Aviation

Safety and flexibility, also on the ground

The aviation industry is characterised by turbulence. Outdoor installations at the airport require an especially robust construction due to the high wind speeds. At the same time, flexibility is required to expand and extend existing systems.

Telecommunications

Robust solutions for stable connections

In telecommunications, mobile communications or broadband networks, the infrastructure solutions must work efficiently and for the long-term, even in adverse weather conditions. Protection against vandalism and unauthorised access are decisive for...

Railway technology

Getting from A to B safely

Rail infrastructure is typically sited outside. On the track, in tunnels, signal boxes and stations, the equipment is exposed to harsh weather conditions. Vandalism is another key issue when it comes to protecting outdoor applications.

Building services

Aim high – safe and secure technical equipment on the roof

Building management and services are becoming increasingly intelligent and therefore require a greater amount of space. But office and residential space is expensive, which is why the equipment is often moved onto the roof since robust outdoor...

A broad range of outdoor enclosures for protection against tough and extreme conditions

Outdoor applications are not all alike, so what is important to you?

Where will your enclosure be used? Depending on the environment and any existing protection, you will require different levels of robustness, different climate control solutions, coatings, heating options, network capabilities and more besides. The demands to be met by outdoor applications are particularly diverse: 

  • Wide temperature fluctuations call for different active and passive climate control solutions
  • Humidity, UV radiation and salt necessitate optimum corrosion and surface protection
  • Protection against vandalism and unauthorised access plays a security-relevant role
  • Noise emissions must be minimised effectively for installations in urban environments

Definition of installation environments to aid choice of the optimum enclosure

We have defined four different installation environments to aid your selection of an appropriate Rittal solution. From protected environments in closed rooms, via covered outdoor spaces to publicly accessible areas exposed to constantly changing weather influences.
