XDF Components
3.1.5Environmental Control
The XDF supplies cooling
In normal operation, six fans at the right front corner of the XDF circulate cooling air through the equipment compartment. The laterally circulating air absorbs heat generated by the electronic equip- ment and transfers the heat to an evaporator coil at the right rear of the XDF. The heat is removed differently in the

Heat removed from the
Heat Removal—Water/Glycol Cooled XDF
The water/glycol cooled XDF transfers the heat captured by the evaporator coil to a brazed plate con- denser at the top of the unit, also separate from the equipment compartment. That heat is then car- ried away by the cooling water or glycol to a condenser or drycooler.
