Horizontal ventilation A high air throughput, stylish design and outstanding security are provided by the doors (with 78 % free surface area per door) of the server racks,see page 777.

Vertical ventilation Ventilation plinth, roof ventilation and slotted component shelves ensure heat dissipation,see page 892, 701, 1013.

Air baffle systemCool air from the hollow base is routed over the base/plinth and distributed via the door in a targeted manner, see page 702.

Passive cooling (use of the ambient air) The air is cooled via the regular ambient air or via the building’s air-conditioning system and it is then routed into the raised floor for rack cooling.

Fan roofsVarious designs and outputs, extendible with fan kits. Fast assembly tailored to racks, see page 703.

Roof-mounted fan Quiet performance (1500 m3/h) for office applications. Centrifugal fan/rack-mounted fan, see page 702.

Fan cross memberFor the perforated door of TS 8 server racks. Air throughput of up to 1200 m3/h, see page 706.

Active cooling (use of the ambient air) Fan systems for active cooling amplify the air exchange inside the rack and use ambient air for cooling.

Active, rack-related cooling By contrast, rack-specific, active cooling is capable of reducing the interior temperature of the rack to below the ambient tem-perature. This cooling technique is very effective with an appro-priate room volume and in industrial environments.

Roof-mounted cooling unit (office application)Useful cooling output 1100 W at an extremely low noise level,see page 638.

Rack-mounted cooling units 482.6 mm (19″)Useful cooling output 1000 W, simple installation in the 482.6 mm (19″) level,see page 698.

Air/water heat exchangersThese prevent the installation room from heating up. A link to a recooling system as cold water supply is essential, see page 676.

When climate control and ventilation are ideal, computing

processes are able to run efficiently. This means uninter-

rupted data flows, which in turn translates into non-stop

productivity. Further information can be found under

“System climate control”, see page 629.

Modular climate control concepts – to your specific

requirements!

Rittal solves the problem of climate control for high heat

losses per rack with liquid cooling components. Extremely

high heat loads are dissipated from the enclosures, IT and

server racks via air/water heat exchangers. Additionally, data

centres may be extended in a temperature-neutral way.
