Rittal Corporation, a manufacturer of industrial and information technology enclosures, racks and accessories, has released the Rittal Liquid Cooling Package Direct (LCP DX), a cooling system for small- and medium-sized IT installations where “climate control with air/water heat exchangers or cold water would be too costly.”
Available in two versions suitable for rack-based or row-based climate control, the LCP DX system includes “an integrated, speed-controlled compressor; an electronic expansion valve, and related refrigeration components that include an appropriate external condenser mounted outside the data center. No active control components are required to operate the external condenser—fan speed is determined only by the pressure of the refrigerant.”Both versions feature a cooling output of 12 kW.
