Game-changing technology
Sustainability at every level
This unique hybrid technology boasts average energy savings of 75% over conventional systems. By significantly reducing your carbon footprint, you are one step closer to becoming climate-neutral. With a longer service life for installed components, global usability and digital service offerings, it guarantees sustainability at every level.
Blue e+ for maximum efficiency
How do we define efficiency? Less is more. Blue e+ cooling units are designed to minimise costs and protect the environment.
Revolutionary energy efficiency with innovative hybrid technology.
- Two parallel cooling circuits operating independently or in tandem, depending on the temperature difference.
- Passive climate control: Heat pipe cooling circuit (dissipates heat from the enclosure as soon as the ambient temperature drops below the setpoint).
- Active climate control: Compressor cooling circuit with speed-controlled components for targeted cooling.
Inverter control ensures a constant temperature inside the enclosure to prolong the service life of the components.
This technology has been proven to achieve average energy savings of 75%.

Reliability means sustainability
Reliability is key when it comes to plant operation. Blue e+ cooling units offer maximum reliability, reduced maintenance and rapid usability.
- The high protection category of IP 55 / IP 56 for outdoor cooling units provides added peace of mind
- More reliable, with integral condensate evaporation as standard from 0.3 kW
- Faster, thanks to short delivery times and dependable worldwide availability of products and spares (standard products ex works)
- More efficient servicing at a reduced cost, thanks to predictive maintenance
Blue e+ is designed to make your work as easy as possible
Focus on what's truly important – with effortless planning, operation and assembly
- Handy tools for faster design and parametrisation (Therm software, Scan & Service app and Quick Finder)
- Planning is a breeze, thanks to uniform square mounting cut-outs for all installation types (external mounting, partial internal mounting (from 1.6 kW) and full internal mounting)
- Easy access for servicing, maintenance and replacement of components helps to minimise maintenance work.
- Smart interfaces for ease of operation: NFC interface for the Scan & Service app, USB connection for software updates and services, display (up to 1 kW) or touch display (from 1.6 kW), IoT interface for remote monitoring

Innovative hybrid technology creates a world-beating carbon footprint, with average energy savings of 75% thanks to speed-controlled components and heat pipe technology. Unique multi-voltage capability for worldwide use. Intuitive operation via touch display. Identical mounting cut-out (external mounting, partial internal mounting or full internal mounting) for four output categories (1.6 kW – 5.8 kW).
Energy-efficient, carbon-cutting wall-mounted cooling units. The Blue e+ chemical version is available in output categories from 1.6 kW to 5.8 kW. A special component coating provides optimum protection in contaminated environments – ideal for applications where sulphuric acid may be present in aerosol form.
Energy-efficient, sustainable wall-mounted Blue e+ outdoor cooling units in output categories from 1.5 kW to 5 kW. The high protection category of IP 56 / UL type 12/3R/4 and a temperature range of -30 °C to +60 °C provides optimum protection in challenging environments. The cooling unit can be mounted in three different ways (external mounting, partial internal mounting and full internal mounting), for example on Toptec project solutions.
Sustainable, flexible and compact: Rittal Blue e+ chillers provide central, cost-effective chilling of cooling water to supply air/water heat exchangers etc. Up to 70% energy savings are achievable thanks to speed-controlled components and inverter technology. International approvals and multi-voltage capability make them suitable for worldwide use. Intuitive operation via touch display and smart communication interfaces ensure user-friendly operation and analysis.
