Overview

The nVent ClimaGuard XR291816012 is an indoor air-to-air heat exchanger designed for thermal management in industrial enclosures. This 115V unit operates at 50/60 Hz and delivers 18 W/°F (32 W/°C) of cooling performance. Its closed-loop system seals out contaminants like dirt, dust, and washdown water, protecting sensitive electrical and electronic components. The XR29 series features a counterflow aluminum core for efficient heat transfer, a slim design for mounting on narrow enclosures, and a filterless design for low maintenance. Constructed from mild steel with a RAL 7035 light-gray powder-coat finish, its dimensions are 29.66" H x 10.24" W x 5.92" D. The unit includes mounting hardware, gaskets, and a user manual. It is ideal for industrial automation, package handling equipment, and security systems. Max power consumption is 207W at 50/60 Hz, with a max nominal current of 1.8A. External loop airflow is 120 CFM (50 Hz) / 133 CFM (60 Hz); internal loop airflow is 126 CFM (50 Hz) / 140 CFM (60 Hz). Every unit is functionally tested before shipping.
