Rittal CRAC DX system
The refrigerant-cooled CRAC DX system operates in
conjunction with an external condenser unit that utilises
external air for cooling. This combination is used prima-
rily in small locations with a low cooling output.
The CRAC DX system operates on the principle of direct
evaporation, and is fitted as standard with the innovative
Energy Save Control (ESC): At reduced external tem-
peratures, the power consumption of the compressors
is reduced while at the same time, their cooling output
rises, so that redundant compressors may be switched
off.
Rittal CRAC CW system
The water-cooled CRAC CW system may be used in
conjunction with a Rittal IT chiller, so that the operating
costs of the system may be reduced still further with
optimum use of the external temperatures.
The CRAC CW system is designed for IT rooms with a
high thermal load, and may be combined with various
mechanical cooling systems such as chillers or free
coolers. Thanks to the underfloor fan arrangement, the
enclosure is able to accommodate a filter and heat
exchanger with increased surface areas.
Energy saving through
redundancy
More space for larger heat exchangers and filters
High cooling output with minimal space requirement and
small footprint
Low power consumption in year-round operation
Very high energy-saving figures
Low maintenance costs
