Enclosure cooled by air conditioning
APW-Wright Line's Tower of Cool is a computer cabinet design using High Delta T cooling (HDTC). It cools 8 kW of equipment within 42U by incorporating the building air conditioning system and the computer cabinets into one system. By evenly distributing 55° building supply air to the intake of the rack-mounted computer equipment, the enclosure runs at lower temperatures. According to company claims, HDTC reduces the total airflow by 50%, thus reducing 50% of air conditioning units (ACUs) required.
