5.Stabilization and Baying

5.1Stabilization

For additional stability, the two shipping brackets and their associated hardware may be used to secure the unit to mounting points on the floor. Using a 13 mm open-end wrench, connect the brackets to the outer or inner bracket mounting points of the unit. Attach the brackets to mounting points on the floor using Tripp Lite’s SmartRack Bolt-Down Kit (model SRBOLTDOWN) or user-supplied hardware.

5.2 Baying

If your application requires the SRCOOL33K/SRXCOOL33K to be bayed in a row of rack enclosures:

Locate the two baying brackets that correspond to baying connection points on the adjoining racks. If necessary, remove screws from the baying connection points of the adjoining racks.

Loosen the screw in each baying bracket and turn each bracket 90 degrees, aligning each bracket with the corresponding baying connection point on the adjoining rack.

Connect each bracket to the adjoining rack using the screws removed in Step 2, but do not fully tighten the screws. Adjust the position of the unit as required and tighten all screws.

6. Mechanical Connections

If the condenser airspace is a drop ceiling plenum and is connected to a building cooling system return, the unit should be installed using the flexible air ducts ducted through the ceiling tiles. This is the preferred method for managing condenser air. For proper operation, the plenum must provide adequate airflow volume within the allowable temperature range, and be capable of continuously treating heat rejected by the unit. This requires:

At least 1720 m3/hr (1012 CFM) of airflow to and from the condenser of each installed unit

Condenser inlet air temperatures between 0-40°C (32-104° F)

Total heat rejected by condenser will be up to 16kW (55kBTU) per unit. The condenser air must be treated by the building cooling system or exchanged with outdoor air.

If the building cooling system has night and weekend setbacks, is shut down during the off-season, shut down for maintenance, or has limited excess capacity, an alternative to the standard installation may be required.

Caution: A very large plenum is not a substitute for proper ventilation and heat rejection. Heat rejected into the plenum must be able to exit the facility. Otherwise, heat buildup in the plenum will cause the unit to shut down.

6.1 Duct Installation

Install two supply flex duct tubes to the front and two exhaust flex duct tubes to the back of the unit. All four tubes must be ducted out of the conditioned room.

Take installation requirements into consideration when deciding where to run the flexible ducts. Ensure that the four duct tubes are similar in length, with no sharp bends.

To prevent hot air from bypassing the airflow between the exhaust and supply air duct, ensure that the two exhaust tubes (rear) protrude higher above the ceiling tile than the intake tubes by a minimum of 6 inches. In installations with ducts less than 24” high, the supply ducts should be turned 90° and pointed towards the supply of fresh air. The exhaust ducts should be turned 90° and face towards the building HVAC return.

Note: It may be necessary to secure the flex duct tubes above the ceiling.

Caution: Use only the provided ducts when making condenser ventilation connections. Any additional length of ducting may significantly degrade the performance of the unit.

SRCOOL33K, SRXCOOL33K specifications

The Tripp Lite SRXCOOL33K is a premier portable air conditioning unit designed specifically for cooling server rooms, data centers, and other critical environments where temperature control is paramount. With its effective cooling capabilities and user-friendly design, this unit is an essential tool for IT professionals seeking reliable temperature management solutions.

One of the primary features of the SRXCOOL33K is its impressive cooling capacity. With a powerful output of 33,000 BTUs, it can efficiently cool spaces up to 1,000 square feet, making it ideal for larger rooms or areas with a high concentration of heat-generating equipment. This capacity is particularly critical in maintaining optimal operating conditions for servers and networking equipment, which can be adversely affected by elevated temperatures.

In addition to its cooling prowess, the SRXCOOL33K incorporates advanced technologies that enhance its performance. The unit utilizes a high-efficiency rotary compressor, which not only improves cooling efficiency but also reduces energy consumption. This energy-efficient design can lead to significant cost savings on utility bills, making it a smart investment for any organization.

The SRXCOOL33K also features a host of user-friendly characteristics, making it straightforward to operate and maintain. The digital control panel allows users to set and monitor temperatures with precision, while the included remote control adds convenience for adjusting settings from a distance. Furthermore, the unit is equipped with a programmable timer, enabling scheduled operation to match peak cooling needs.

Portability is another standout feature of the SRXCOOL33K. With easy-rolling casters and side handles, it can be effortlessly moved to different locations as required. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for organizations that may need to reposition their cooling solutions in response to varying equipment loads or spatial configurations.

The air conditioner also includes a built-in condensate pump that automatically removes water collected during operation, eliminating the need for manual drainage. This adds to its low-maintenance nature, allowing IT staff to focus on their core tasks without the hassle of frequent upkeep.

In conclusion, the Tripp Lite SRXCOOL33K stands out as a robust and versatile cooling solution for professionals in the IT and data management sectors. With its exceptional cooling capacity, energy-efficient technologies, and portability, it effectively supports maintaining the ideal conditions for critical equipment.
