Emerson Network Power announced a capacity expansion to the upflow configuration of the Liebert DS precision cooling system. It is now available in nominal ratings
of 53 kW (15 tons), 70 kW (20 tons), 77 kW (22 tons), and 105 kW (30 tons). Previously available only in capacities of 28, 35, and 42 kW, the upflow model of the Liebert DS precision cooling system provides support for applications that require cooling delivered from the top of the unit in data centers or telecommunications environments that do not have a raised floor. The Liebert DS, which is also available in downflow models from 28 to 105 kW, is the first and only precision cooling system to use digital scroll compressors, which allow unit capacities to quickly adapt to changing room conditions.

S.P.E.A.R. (self-propelled electronic armored rack) systems are self-propelled,
electronic equipment enclosures engineered to transport electronic payloads up to 10 miles. Once at the jobsite, on-board power conditioning, cooling, wired and wireless I/O enables operation of the payload while the payload remains securely housed within the electronic equipment enclosure. These mobile electronic equipment enclosures are the first on the market to utilize a patent pending, weight adaptive, multi-axis, magnetorheological suspension system to isolate the electronic payloads from shock and vibration during transit.
