Air Conditioners utilize nanotechnology.

Press Release Summary:



Suited for use in industrial environments where dust and oil-laden air can clog condenser coils, TopTherm air conditioners are manufactured with condenser coil designed with RiNano protective coating. Comprised of different classes of nanoparticles, RiNano forms solid, homogeneous bond with condenser surface. This produces glass-like surface layer that repels water, dirt, and oil, promoting long-term constant cooling performance.

Rittal Offers New Climate Control Package with Nanotechnology for Toughest Applications



SPRINGFIELD, OH, August 28, 2006 - Rittal has added innovative nanotechnology to air conditioning systems for a new climate control package that can be used in some of the toughest industrial environments where dust and oil-laden air can clog condenser coils. Rittal's TopTherm air conditioners are now being manufactured with a condenser coil designed with RiNano, a protective coating with water, dirt and oil-repellent properties. When applied to air conditioners, RiNano ensures long-term constant cooling performance, as well as savings in service and maintenance time and costs. RiNano reduces contamination to the condenser coils and is significantly easier to clean than standard surfaces.

RiNano coatings are comprised of different classes of nanoparticles, which form a solid homogeneous bond with the condenser surface of the TopTherm air conditioners. The resulting surface is an ultra thin, glass-like layer with a landscape of nanoscale-sized peaks and valleys. With this unique technology, water simply forms pearl-like droplets and runs off. Aggressive environmental influences such as oily ambient air can also be contained.

"This technology is representative of Rittal's commitment to the application of leading-edge technology that has outstanding benefits for end users," said Jim Weist, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Our exploration and application of this type of technology in Rittal products is just beginning. We are dedicated to providing our customers with the best possible solutions for all of their application needs."
