Rittal Liquid Cooling Package – LCP DX Ideal hardware cooling – whatever the location Even if the data centre consists of just one room with a server enclosure – the high power dissipation of current computer hardware can quickly lead to a dangerous build-up of heat. Rittal India Pvt Ltd – Mr.Jacob Chandy, Vice President Sales & Marketing says ‘The IT climate control specialist Rittal has a reliable remedy in the form of the flexible and easily installable Liquid Cooling Package Direct Expansion (LCP DX) cooling option” Rated at 12kW, the Liquid Cooling Package Direct Expansion (LCP DX) can be deployed in either cold aisle containment or high density rack cooling. The LCP DX is mounted on the side of the rack, to form a closed system in either the rack or the cold/hot aisle containment. This eliminates the need of false flooring or even a dedicated server room. Warm server air is drawn in directly from the rear of the rack and cooled air is blown back in front of the 19" Page 2 Press release Rittal India Pvt Ltd., equipment level from the side, over the whole height of the enclosure. Rittal’s LCP DX has four EC fans for maximum efficiency and minimum power consumption. Flow characteristics of the heat exchanger are optimized for the lowest possible pressure losses on the air side to minimize the energy consumption of the fans. The speed regulated compressor enables the cooling output to adapt to the actual requirements, thus making this solution the most energy efficient solution in this space. Maintenance and service for all relevant components can be achieved quickly and simply due to the optimized layout. The fans can be exchanged quickly and at any time, even while the system is operational (hot swapping).
