The top-mounted 6-inch pagoda fan efficiently exhausts hot air from the top of the cabinet for increased internal airflow and heat dissipation, while the bottom-mounted filter prevents dust from entering the cabinet and damaging the equipment.
In addition, the filter can be easily removed for periodic cleaning without accessing the cabinet.
For applications where high ambient air temperatures - up to 130F - would normally cause equipment failure, Protek Air Conditioner Packages deliver additional thermal management, providing 254 watts (800 BTUs) of cooling.
Plus, since the right-side mounted T4 Line Indoor/Outdoor Air Conditioner doesn't allow outside air into the cabinet, rack equipment is also protected from external contaminants.
"Protek Wall-Mount Packages are designed to provide convenient, off-the-shelf protection to sensitive equipment without decreasing an application efficiency" said Brian Mordick, Hoffman Product Manager.
"Air conditioners, fans and filters are positioned away from 19-inch rack-mounting areas, allowing all available rack units to be open for use.
Protek offers fast delivery and simple installation for an all-in-one thermal management solution".
