Portable Server Rack Cooling

The Tripp Lite SRXCOOL12KA is a self-contained portable air conditioner built for server racks and network cabinets. It delivers 12000 BTU or 3.5 kW of cooling capacity to protect equipment from heat-related failure. The unit operates on 220V, 230V or 240V AC power at 50 or 60 Hz with an IEC Type I plug. It is designed for 230V SAA and RCM markets and suits tower form factor installations.

Thermals Noise and Power

The rotary compressor uses R410a refrigerant with a 22 oz charge and provides active cooling with evaporator airflow of 560 l/s and condenser airflow of 530 l/s. Nominal amp draw ranges from 7 to 10 A across the supported voltage range. Sound level is rated at 57 dB during operation. A built-in dehumidifier removes up to 2.5 liters of moisture per hour to help maintain a stable environment for sensitive hardware.

Bundled Ventilation Kit

Included accessories comprise a louvered front vent insert, duct adapters, a cold-air directional delivery tube and a hot-exhaust removal tube. A window and drop-ceiling heat ventilation kit with adjustable exhaust panels enables flexible heat rejection. The air supply tube measures 70.87 inches and the exhaust tube measures 118.11 inches for routing to external spaces. A touch-sensitive control panel with numerical temperature readout provides direct control.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 1.83 m IEC Type I cord and where do the 70.87 inch supply and 118.11 inch exhaust tubes attach?

Plug the IEC Type I cord into a 230 V outlet, then fit the cold-air delivery tube to the front evaporator vent and the hot-exhaust tube to the rear condenser vent; both tubes slide over the built-in flanges and secure with the included adjustable exhaust panels.

What ongoing care does the R410a rotary compressor and 2.5 L/h dehumidifier need?

Clean or replace the evaporator and condenser filters monthly, empty the condensate tank or run a drain hose continuously, and check the 22 oz refrigerant charge only if cooling drops below 12000 BTU.

At what point does the 57 dB noise or 7–10 A draw limit continuous operation?

The unit is rated for continuous duty at 57 dB and 7–10 A on 208–240 V; the first practical limit is the condensate tank filling at 2.5 L/h, so provide a permanent drain for uninterrupted run time.
