Industrial air conditioners for electrical panels with R513A refrigerant for indoor and outdoor applications

cosmotec, with the Protherm line, offers a wide range of air conditioners designed to meet different needs, both for electrical panels in industrial applications and for shelters and cabinets intended for telecommunications, energy distribution, and other sectors. The growing need to reduce consumption has led to the development of highly efficient air conditioners, without compromising robustness, reliability, and compactness.

Cooling capacity: from 300W to 6000W
Power supply: 115V, 230V, and 400V/460V
Operating range, suitable for sites with temperatures between:
+20/+55 °C (CVE) / -20/+55 °C (CVO, CE) / -40/+55 °C (CVO, UL)
Protection rating: IP55 / Type12/4/4x

CE, UL Listed certifications facilitate market access and avoid customs issues, while ensuring time and cost savings for subsequent approvals and increasing reliability.

The use of R513A refrigerant gas, the efficiency level, and the use of a smaller amount of refrigerant reduce resource consumption and CO₂ impact, making the Protherm conditioners “Green.”

Among HFO refrigerants, cosmotec has chosen R513A refrigerant for its air conditioners due to some distinctive features.

  • It falls into A1 safety class as it is a non-flammable gas and therefore does not require special safety measures for installation on electrical cabinets and/or enclosures.
  • It also offers excellent properties: significantly lower GWP value compared to R134 (R134a: GWP = 1430, R513a: GWP = 631), high energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
  • It is non-ozone-depleting and is available in the medium-to-long term not only for production but also for maintenance.

Sequencing and remote monitoring

Sequencing and remote monitoring

Sequencing

Some critical applications require redundancy in the cooling system. To meet this essential need, two Protherm air conditioners can be connected to each other to manage:

  • Automatic rotation, to balance operating hours

  • Mutual support, in case one unit signals an alarm that prevents operation, or if the cabinet temperature exceeds the threshold of the supporting unit

Remote monitoring

The air conditioners can be connected to a Modbus monitoring system, allowing direct communication with the unit. This enables parameter logging, rapid detection of potential issues, and faster service intervention.

XCB, a controller for…

Cooling and heating
The board controls the compressor and fans to cool the cabinet and, optionally, an electric heater to prevent low temperatures inside the enclosure

Greater protection
The electronic board, installed in the internal compartment, provides adequate protection against external agents (dust, oil, etc.) present in the environment

Energy saving
By reducing power consumption through evaporator fan management

Quiet operation
Condenser fan management when the application requires low noise levels

Reliability
System redundancy available through sequencing function and communication between two air conditioners

Precise cooling
Hot spot elimination thanks to the option of managing a remote sensor

Safety
Remote monitoring via RS485 serial port and Modbus RTU protocol

Signaling
Presence of an alarm relay contact (NO/NC) and a remote/door open contact

Easy to install

Easy to install

The Protherm R513A units feature a new connection system that makes installation easier and faster, especially for units with UL certification. It consists of a power connector, a signal connector, and, where applicable, a connector for switching the voltage 460V to 400V.

  • Greater ease in identifying the required electrical connection (with functional component check during unit start-up)

  • No need to open the unit (installation and/or replacement/cleaning of the filter accessory via magnetic support)

  • Easy access to the electrical connection

  • Reduced installation time (thanks to two inserts that simplify positioning and securing of the unit)

  • Standardization: drilling templates remain unchanged compared to previous models
