Rittal: New Blue e+ Ducting for IT Applications, in Industrial and IT scenarios
January 6, 2020
Rittal presents a new rear to front duct for IT installations using the Blue e+. The product, 3312.820, is designed to direct cool air from a rear door mounted air conditioner to the front of the rack. Baffles are used to effectively separate the cool air in the front of the rack and the hot air in the rear. In conjunction with solid doors, this improves efficiency while maintaining server temperature set points which reduces downtime.
The A/C Edge reference designs are being updated to optionally add this duct and alternatively use rear mounted A/C solutions. This single part is designed to adapt to a variety of IT racks. This duct mounts inside the 19” rails so it is suitable for 600 – 800 wide racks. It can also be used in racks ranging in depth from 800 – 1200 mm. There are minimum distances for placement of the 19” rails. It is designed to be installed at the bottom of the rack and uses 3 RU or 5.25 inches (133.4 mm). Made of sheet steel, painted RAL 9005 black.
Applicable for the following Blue e+ models ranging from 2 kW to 6 kW:
- 3186.930
- 3187.930
- 3188.940
- 3189.940
