Cooling Requirements
For the HPP-1K5A01KAT A supply to be sufficiently cooled, the cabinet must be set up to:.
1.
Bring in coolant air of the correct temperature(40 ˚C maximum)
2.
Distribute coolant air to the power supplies
3.
Prevent air exhausted from the cabinet from circulating back and becoming input air
4.
Exhaust the hot air from the cabinet with minimal airflow restriction.

Cabinet Design
The following is a synopsis of the HPP-1K5A01KAT A to follow when designing a cabinet
containing a stack of HPP-1K5A01KAT A power supplies.
Coolant air must be drawn easily into the cabinet; exhaust air must be able to pass
unrestricted out of the cabinet. If some physical constriant restricts the flow of exhaust air out of
the cabinet, we recommend that fans or blowers be mounted so that the hot air is removed from
the cabinet as quickly as possible.
Each HPP-1K5A01KAT A power supply dissipates up to 10% of its maximum power at full
rated output. The minimum air flows in cubic feet per minute(CFM) required by individual HPP-
1K5A01KAT A supplies are shown in table 5.1. The static pressure(inches of water) of the empty
cabinet should not exceed 0.1 inches of water at the CFM level obtained by adding together the
minimum CFM values for all the power supplies that will be placed in the cabinet. For example, if
three HPP-1K5A01KAT A supplies are mounted in a cabinet, the minimum CFM requirement
would be three times the CFM of cabinet air volume compared to an individual supply.
Approximations of this figure, the total power dissipation, and the temperature difference between
coolant air and exhaust air are shown as an example in table 5.2.
