Rittal 3301500 Electrical condensate evaporator content_copy

The Rittal SK 3301500 is an electrical condensate evaporator specifically designed for mounting outside the enclosure. It is used for the efficient removal of condensate generated during the cooling of enclosures by enclosure cooling units or air/water heat exchangers. The evaporator is delivered ready-to-connect, enabling easy integration into existing climate control systems. It is designed for use in industrial environments where reliable and low-maintenance dehumidification is required.

Applications
This condensate evaporator is universally applicable and compatible with all enclosure cooling units and air/water heat exchangers requiring wall mounting. It is installed outside the enclosure to evaporate condensate directly into the ambient air, eliminating the need for an external drainage pipe. This is particularly advantageous in installations where direct wastewater disposal is not feasible or economically viable. The device is used in industrial, technical, and automated environments where continuous operational reliability of electrical components inside the enclosure must be ensured.

Functions and Features in Detail
The evaporator operates electrically and features an evaporation capacity of 3.5 liters per day at 230 V and 3.0 liters per day at 115 V. These values depend on the operating voltage and represent the maximum amount of condensate that can be evaporated per day. The rated operating voltage covers the range of 115 V to 230 V, 1~, 50 Hz/60 Hz, enabling international use. Thus, the device is suitable for various power grids worldwide. The unit is finished in RAL 7035, a neutral, industry-recognized color that integrates well into technical environments.

Technology Explained Simply
The evaporator uses electric heating to evaporate the condensate. Water is heated on a heating surface, releasing it into the ambient air. This process occurs continuously as long as the device is operating. The operating temperature range is between 5 °C and 60 °C, meaning the evaporator functions even at low ambient temperatures, as long as the minimum temperature is not exceeded. Dimensions are 280 mm (width) × 129 mm (height) × 105 mm (depth), allowing for a compact design that can be mounted on the outside of the enclosure without occupying much space.

Compatibility and Accessories
The evaporator is intended for all enclosure cooling units and air/water heat exchangers requiring wall mounting. It connects directly to the drain line of the cooling unit, with condensate being directed into the evaporator. No specific accessories are included in the delivery scope; the evaporator is supplied as a ready-to-connect device. No additional components such as pumps, piping, or filters are included. Installation is performed directly on the outside of the enclosure, with the connection to the cooling unit made via a standard drain hose.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done on the outside of the enclosure, with mounting options provided directly on the device. Installation requires no special tools, as the unit is ready-to-connect. Electrical connection is made via the provided terminal clamps, designed for operating voltages from 115 V to 230 V. The connection to the cooling unit is made via a standard drain hose, which is inserted into the evaporator. Installation is simple and does not require specialized expertise, provided electrical requirements (voltage, protection class) are met.

Operational Advantages
Using the evaporator reduces the need for external wastewater disposal, simplifying installation and maintenance. The ready-to-connect design shortens installation time and minimizes error sources. The multi-voltage capability allows flexible use in different countries and power grids. The compact design and robust construction ensure long service life and low maintenance requirements. Evaporation occurs continuously, ensuring constant dehumidification without the need to regularly empty or service the device.
