Rack Mounted Chillers
19″ rack mounted chillers offer an efficient cooling solution designed to fit into standard electrical housings, ideal for space-constrained environments like laboratories and data centres. They can also be mounted into any electrical frame, such as a test rig. These chillers utilise a refrigeration cycle to effectively remove heat from various heat transfer fluids, including water, glycol, or oils. Applied Thermal Control manufactures these rack-mounted chillers to seamlessly integrate within standard racking systems, with a minimum depth requirement of 600mm. This integration is particularly advantageous during system upgrades or modernisation, as it allows for the incorporation of cooling systems into existing racks without increasing the overall footprint.
The R-Series from ATC, ranging from 500W to 2kW in cooling capacity, is characterised by its compact and reliable design. These chillers are well-suited to a variety of applications, providing powerful cooling outputs and coolant flow rates. R-Series chillers are especially beneficial in settings where 19″ racks are pre-existing and have space for a chiller addition. It’s important to note that these rack-mounted chillers are designed to supply heat transfer fluids at a constant pressure to remove heat from processes, differing from systems aimed at cooling internal air temperatures of housings. The R-Series employs air-cooled refrigeration systems as standard, with water-cooled condensers available as an option. Standard features of these chillers include a stainless-steel reservoir, a corrosion resistant stainless-steel evaporator, over-temperature and low liquid level signals, an industry-standard 6-pin signal plug, low noise operation, a non-ferrous coolant circuit, a pressure relief valve, and a convenient liquid fill point. These features, along with several customisable options offered by ATC, ensure that each chiller can be tailored to specific application requirements.
