Liquid Cooling Package Rack Industry cools enclosures

LCP Rack Industry_Sept16

Rittal’s Liquid Cooling Package (LCP) Rack Industry is a system that has proved highly effective at providing climate control for suites of enclosures. If an air/water heat exchanger is installed in the centre of a bayed enclosure suite, then the resultant cooling air can be blown towards both sides in the enclosure. Cooling outputs of up to 10kW means that even the most demanding climate control requirements can be met, such as those of cooling frequency converters.

The 30cm wide climate control enclosure can also be easily integrated into the Rittal TS 8 baying system. A new, improved LCP Rack Industry system now features recesses to allow the routing of busbar systems and cables.

There is space for introducing the busbar system at the top of the climate control enclosure while, below that, there is room for the N/PE rails. Additional cabling can be added-in in both positions, which makes the LCP Rack Industry extremely flexible. All this delivers high-performance cooling, notably in large switchgear units with full-length busbar systems.

Placing an enclosure on both sides of the heat exchanger enclosure doubles the impact of the system, enabling the cooling of two enclosures.

The energy efficiency of the new LCP Rack Industry is also now significantly higher.  The improved system uses EC fans that consume roughly half as much energy as the previous model, to reduce running costs. In addition, the fan’s optional speed control means that the noise level can be reduced in sensitive areas.

The new LCP Rack Industry already has UL Listing, which means it can be used in the US.
