The cooling requirements of blade and 1U server racks can be addressed with Rittal’s LCP Extend (liquid cooling package) unit, which is based on an air/water heat exchanger.

It provides heat losses of up to 12kW per rack.

Without having to modify existing series of enclosures, the innovation can be attached as an independent cooling unit to the rear doors of practically any rack, while the rack is in operation.

As a result the system can be retrofitted in the event of any problems from thermal issue.

Hot air, dissipated towards the rear by the servers, is forced through the air/water heat exchanger by fan units and then expelled.
