APPLICATIONS
TO EXTRACT HEAT FROM SINGLE COMPONENT
TO EXTRACT HEAT FROM A SMALL RACK
- Extracts heat from a specific component within a rack; or the entire rack.
- Powers multiple devices within the rack enclosure.
Install the PDCOOL above the heat producing component. Secure the temperature probe within the
hot air convection chimney, near where the heat is originating. The temperature probe is designed to
measure air temperature and should not be placed directly on the chassis of the unit.
If the equipment has a solid top, you must install a blank panel between the PDCOOL and the
component being cooled to ensure proper thermal management.
If the equipment being cooled is vented, no blank panel is required.
Install the PDCOOL at the top of the rack, and secure the temperature probe at the highest available
location. The PDCOOL is not designed for cooling a large rack.
NOTE: It is important to allow for air flow. If there is not at least one rackspace between the uppermost
component and the PDCOOL, then the PDCOOL should be inverted and installed with the blower
intake facing the top of the rack. Ensure there is a vent panel installed at the bottom of the rack
(or equivalent venting) to allow for air flow intake.
VENT PANEL
INSTALLATION NOTES: The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the
disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
