Tripp Lite, maker of power protection equipment, has two new cooling solutions for the SMB IT channel.
The company’s new 
SmartRack Compact Air Conditioner units provide supplemental cooling for electronic equipment in locations where facility air conditioning can’t reach or doesn’t provide adequate cooling to overcome environmental conditions.†††
Self-contained, compact AC units expel condensate through exhaust air, with up to 12,000 BTUs (models available for 120V or 230V applications).
“Most network and server closets weren’t originally designed for the IT department,” says Tripp Lite product manager Craig Watkins. “If you have network equipment jammed into a converted janitor’s closet, there’s a good chance it doesn’t have the kind of cooling you need.”
According to Watkins, the SmartRack Compact Air Conditioning Unit will fix that. “And it doesn’t require any maintenance or complicated installation,” he adds. “Anyone can set it up, turn it on, and forget about it.”
Key features and benefits of models include:
- Self-contained design, with no external condenser, refrigerant piping, or plumbing required
- Up to 12,000 BTUs–models available for 120V or 230V applications
