Following current trends in telecom and IT cooling, Kaltra has announced Compact CW – chilled water cooling units in an ultra-compact design with enclosure depth as small as 490 mm. The range includes five enclosure sizes, from 585 mm to 1,885 mm, delivering cooling capacities from 5 kW to 65 kW.

These include air intake and discharge plenums in various configurations, flow control by two-way or three-way regulating valves, heaters and humidifiers, safety accessories, 50 Hz and 60 Hz power supply and network interfaces. Being so compact, the new units are still full-featured precision air conditioners.

Compact CW is available in three airflow configurations:

  • Downflow, with air suction from the top and bottom discharge
  • Downflow with frontal air discharge
  • Upflow, with frontal air suction and discharge from the unit top

Units feature removable panels, simplifying routine checks and maintenance. Designed especially for IT applications, Compact CW handles intake air temperatures as high as 45° C and chilled water temperatures delta of 10° C, as standard.

For new installations or retrofit onto existing systems, Compact CW enables precise thermal performance, reduces stresses in operation, works at lower noise output and requires minimum power input.
