HOW COOLCUBE WORKS
CoolCube 10
The CoolCube 10 is designed to cool a small physical area with a heat load of 10,000 Btu/hr (3kW) or less. A typical server closet (i.e. wiring closet) is a perfect environment for the CoolCube 10, as the closet is usually less than 100 square feet and will generally have a heat load ranging from 3,500 to 9,000 Btu/hr (1.03 - 2.64 kW).
Additionally, the CoolCube 10 is ideal to "spot cool" hot spots within a larger physical area by delivering the cold air directly to the small area producing the heat, such as a large data center being cooled by a Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC). This environment often has racks populated with high density servers that are not being cooled properly. Installing a CoolCube 10 into the specific racks will solve the heat problem.
Modular Air Conditioning Principles
Cold Air Delivery (Spot Cooling)– CoolCube 10 efficiently cools any environment by delivering cold air directly to the hot spot (i.e. electronic equipment) instead of cooling the entire environment. This results in substantial savings by enabling users to purchase a properly sized air conditioner, as well as reduces energy consumption.
Condensate Removal– The CoolCube 10 will not only reduce the temperature, but will also remove moisture from the air by collecting condensate in its standard 2.5 gallon tank. The tank will need to be emptied periodically, depending on the humidity level. A condensate pump is a valuable accessory that allows continuous operation without monitoring, in which the pump delivers the condensate to a nearby sink, drain, or water line.
Warm Air Removal– The CoolCube 10 will remove warm air from any small, enclosed environment, such as an office. This is done by ducting the warm air up into the drop ceiling plenum above the room.
Power– The CoolCube 10 uses standard 115 VAC, a common voltage in the United States. It is recommended that the CoolCube operate on a dedicated 15 amp circuit.
BENEFITSCoolCube 10 is the industry's only modular air conditioning solution. With a high quality design and unique features that set it apart from the competition, CoolCube 10 benefits include:
- Compact unit is 50% smaller than competitors, but still provides 10,000 btu/hr of cooling per module
- Automatic restart function for power outages
- High airflow volume increases air circulation throughout the room
- Highly economical and efficient way to cool "hot spots"
- Quick and easy installation
- Cost-effective alternative for weekend of after-hours cooling when the main system is shut down
- Portable unit conveniently rolls into tight spaces and from room to room, or with tenant at the end of a lease
- Small enough to store multiple modules in closet so you're prepared for planned or unplanned shut-down of main air conditioners
- UL Listed for ceiling plenums
- Installs into any standard 19-Inch rack open rack
- UL Listed for stacking applications: Up to (3) modules high - 30,000 btu/hr of capacity
- Uses standard 115 VAC power source
- Provides N+1 redundancy if necessary for your application.
- Easily add cooling capacity to match future IT equipment expansion-add a CoolCube module each time you add another server or UPS
- Generator Friendly - Low inrush current reduces requirement size for high cooling capacity
WHEN TO USE COOLCUBE
The CoolCube 10 offers an exceptional cooling solution for electronics, computers and telecommunication equipment. The heat generated by this expensive equipment can cause numerous problems, including reduced lifespan, reduced reliability, and a slower network. A general rule with electronics is that every 10°C temperature rise in nominal temperatures produces a 50 percent reduction in the lifetime and long-term reliability of equipment. Deploying a CoolCube will deliver an immediate return on investment.
Due to its modular design and powerful cooling capacity, CoolCube 10 can be deployed in a wide variety of applications, either as a permanent installation providing 24/7 cooling, or as a supplemental solution, such as cooling on nights and weekends when the building's main A/C is shut off. CoolCube 10 is also an ideal option to cool "hot spots" within a conditioned room, or as a temporary alternative for the planned or unexpected shutdown of a building's A/C system.
