High performance flat pack fan
Rittal’s RiCool III flat pack fan, is a third generation high-capacity direct current fan which has a maximum capacity of 320 m3/h (unimpeded airflow, RiCool II: 275 m3/h) and 71 mm H20 static pressure, which can dissipate high heat losses, such as those found in AdvancedTCA applications.
Requiring just 1 U of installation space, RiCool III is integrated as standard in Rittal’s AdvancedTCA shelves.
Air Weighing just 1.70 kg, the fan unit is installed in a sheet steel housing and is available as a 48 V DC design (equivalent to 1.5 A rated current consumption at 100%). The noise level (unimpeded air flow) is a small 64 dB at full load (at 70 % speed: 59 dB).
The fans can be configured to work redundantly, allowing two or more fans to work at reduced speed in normal operation mode, thus reducing the noise level. In the event of a blower failing, the other fans adjust to full power and continue the cooling of the system.
