The article SK 3301610 from Rittal is a condensate hose made of PVC transparent, specifically designed for the drainage and conveyance of condensate in industrial enclosures. It serves as a connecting element between enclosure cooling units and air/water heat exchangers, where moisture is generated during cooling and must be drained. The transparent design allows for visual inspection of the condensate flow, which is beneficial for maintenance and diagnostics.

Applications
This hose is used in industrial electrical engineering and IT infrastructure, where enclosures are equipped with cooling units to regulate internal temperature. Typical applications include enclosures with integrated climate control units or air/water heat exchangers that produce condensate during cooling. The condensate is drained via the hose into a collection container or drainage system to prevent damage from moisture inside the enclosure.

Features and Specifications in Detail
The hose has an outer diameter of 10 mm and a wall thickness of 1.5 mm, providing sufficient strength and flexibility for industrial environments. The length is 10 m, which is sufficient to transport condensate over longer distances without requiring additional connections. The material PVC transparent is chemically resistant and moisture-resistant, extending the hose’s service life.

Technology Explained Simply
The hose safely drains condensate generated during air cooling inside enclosures. The transparent PVC structure allows visual inspection of the flow, enabling quick detection of blockages or contamination. The 1.5 mm wall thickness ensures the hose does not easily collapse, even when bent or installed in confined spaces. The 10 m length offers installation flexibility without requiring additional connectors.

Compatibility and Accessories
The hose is specifically designed for use with Rittal enclosure cooling units and air/water heat exchangers. It is compatible with product numbers such as 3212...., 3303...., 3361...., 3302.1xx, and 3302.2xx. These devices produce condensate during cooling, which is drained via the hose. No additional accessories are included; the hose is supplied as a single unit.

Installation and Mounting
Installation involves connecting the hose to the condensate outlet of the cooling unit or heat exchanger. The hose should be routed to ensure continuous drainage without air pockets or blockages. The transparent design facilitates checking proper function after installation. No additional mounting accessories are required, as the hose connects directly to the designated fittings.

Operational Advantages
The hose ensures reliable and low-maintenance condensate drainage. The transparent PVC structure enables quick visual inspection, simplifying maintenance. The 10 m length offers flexibility in positioning the collection container. The 1.5 mm wall thickness ensures long service life even under industrial conditions. Compatibility with the specified Rittal devices guarantees seamless integration into existing systems.
