Designed to operate 24/7 in critical computing environments, Vertiv™ CoolPhase Wall offers up to 60% more airflow than comfort climate systems
Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, introduced Vertiv™ CoolPhase Wall, a space-saving wall cooling system designed for small IT and edge environments. The system is designed to meet the needs of IT equipment, removing heat and allowing continuous operation without taking up floor space. Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is available today in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
With the development of distributed computing in the enterprise, compact IT environments require high-quality thermal control designed for sensitive electronic systems. However, many still use comfort air conditioning systems designed for human comfort, rather than to handle the high sensible heat ratio (SHR) and increased airflow requirements of IT equipment. Vertiv CoolPhase Wall bridges the gap with a purpose-built system, providing the required SHR along with integrated monitoring and control capabilities to protect equipment and enable 24/7 operational continuity.
Designed to offer installation flexibility, Vertiv CoolPhase Wall features a split system with a wall-mounted indoor unit. The system provides up to 60% more airflow than standard comfort air conditioning systems and uses variable speed compressors and fans to adapt to the heat load and improve energy efficiency, allowing for the reduction of operating costs.
Designed to handle heat loads up to 11 kW, Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is engineered to operate reliably at outdoor temperatures between -35 and 48°C. The system integrates operational control
Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™, which allows local configuration and supervision of the main operating parameters. For greater visibility and remote access, Vertiv CoolPhase Wall includes built-in remote communication capabilities to provide real-time alerts and operational status via a secure web interface.
Vertiv™ CoolPhase Wall uses R-32 refrigerant, a low global warming potential (GWP) alternative that reduces environmental impact while maintaining high thermal performance. This places Vertiv at the forefront of evolving regulations, including those of the European Union on fluorinated gases (F-Gas), which limit the use of high GWP refrigerants. While many comfort air conditioning systems are still transitioning to low-GWP options, Vertiv already applies these standards to IT cooling, giving organizations confidence that their implementations are in line with future environmental expectations.
“As IT expands into areas not originally designed for high-density electronics, demand for adaptable, energy-efficient cooling solutions is growing across EMEA,” said Sam Bainborough, vice president, EMEA thermal business at Vertiv. “Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is designed to support continuous operations, allowing customers to maintain reliable and efficient thermal performance in small IT environments and edge sites year-round.”
Vertiv CoolPhase Wall expands the company's comprehensive thermal management portfolio, which includes precision cooling systems for edge deployments, enterprise data centers and high-density AI environments, ranging from room-level cooling to direct-to-chip liquid cooling and rear-port exchangers.
