Filter Rittal SK 3286.530 — aluminium housing, single unit

Rittal SK 3286.530 is a washable metal filter with an aluminium housing intended for compatibility with RTT chiller and cooling systems. Supplied as a single unit, the filter is designed to help protect cooling and enclosure equipment from dust and particulate contamination while supporting consistent airflow and thermal management in industrial and technical environments.

Advantages

The aluminium construction provides corrosion-resistant surfaces that are simple to clean and maintain. As a washable metal filter, it captures particles effectively while allowing repeated reuse, reducing waste and replacement frequency compared with disposable filters. Its robust metal housing maintains shape and airflow characteristics under typical industrial conditions.

Suitable for

• RTT chiller and cooling systems requiring a metal intake filter
• Industrial enclosures and control cabinets where dust protection is needed
• Applications with dusty or mildly oily ambient air where washable filters are preferred

When it may not be suitable

This aluminium metal filter is not intended for use where HEPA- or ULPA-grade particulate removal is required; it is designed for coarse to medium particle capture and general contamination control. It may not be suitable in environments with corrosive chemicals that attack aluminium or in applications demanding very fine filtration efficiency.

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium housing and aluminium filter media
• Finish: aluminium
• Quantity: single unit
• Type: washable metal filter for intake/air protection

How to use

Install the filter in the compatible RTT chiller or cooling system following the equipment manufacturer's instructions for orientation and securing. Inspect the filter regularly for accumulated dust and debris; cleaning frequency depends on ambient contamination levels. To clean, rinse with water and, if necessary, use a grease-dissolving detergent. Ensure the filter is completely dry and free of residues before reinstalling to avoid moisture-related issues.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm physical dimensions and compatibility with your RTT chiller or enclosure intake mounting.
• Determine if washable metal filtration meets your particulate removal requirements versus finer filter classes.
• Assess ambient conditions (dust, oil, humidity, corrosive agents) to ensure aluminium is appropriate.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use in systems where coarse to medium particle protection is required and schedule periodic inspections. In dusty or oily environments, clean the aluminium filter with water and a suitable detergent; avoid aggressive chemicals that may damage aluminium. Replace if the filter structure shows deformation or persistent contamination that cannot be removed by washing.
