The EdgeCool 5 Series transforms server racks into portable, energy-saving server rooms. The split-system air conditioner is designed for self-contained operation within any rack. EdgeCool units require no additional floor space and work with most new or existing server racks, bringing data center cooling efficiencies directly to the rack level with a patented, powerful design that cools 4 kW of sensible heat load per rack while operating on standard 115 VAC power.
The evaporator unit installs in the bottom of a rack, occupying only 8U of valuable rack space while delivering cold air in front of overheated IT equipment. Inherent to its design, the evaporator separates the cold air from the warm air within the rack. EdgeCool ensures the coldest air is delivered directly to overheated circuits, while the warmest air is routed back to the air conditioner. A variable-speed fan adjusts to match the heat load inside the rack. This intuitive technology creates steady, cool temperatures and assures reliability to the network. Furthermore, Edgecool’s cooling reach can grow as well. The adaptable evaporator can expand its cooling envelope to three server racks. By opening up its side grilles, it can direct cold air to equipment in adjacent racks.
