Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Don't let excessive heat compromise the performance and reliability of your mission-critical systems! Tripp Lite's SRCOOL12K Self-Contained Portable Air Conditioning Unit lets you bring cold air to every nook and cranny of your facility: overheating racks, hot spots inside racks or isolated areas where facility air conditioning can't reach. With 12,000 BTU of cooling power, it's ideal for use in data centers, wiring closets, industrial facilities, warehouses, offices or anyplace where portable cooling is needed.

The SRCOOL12K not only adjusts ambient room temperature, but also dehumidifies and filters the air, providing better air quality for enhanced equipment performance with minimal noise and power consumption. Unlike other portable air conditioning units, it requires no floor drain, drain tube, drain pan or water collection tank. Its unique, zero-maintenance design incorporates a built-in evaporator that expels condensate directly into the exhaust air stream. The SRCOOK12K features a built-in timer for automatic unattended startup and shutdown—perfect for unattended or off-hour cooling applications. It can be configured with a standard louvered vent for general room cooling or a ducted cooling vent to direct cold air where needed most. The SRCOOL12K uses EPA-compliant R410a Freon.

No Water Collection Tank to Empty

Compact, Portable and Flexible Cooling Solution

The SRCOOL12K is designed for portability and ease of use. Its light weight (68 lb) and compact size (less than 3 feet in height) make it a perfect cooling solution for wiring closets and similar space-critical locations. It can be configured with a standard louvered vent for general room cooling or a ducted vent to direct cold air into a rack or an area that needs it most. An included window/drop ceiling installation kit provides multiple installation options. A built-in on/off timer enables the SRCOOL12K to be used for off-hour or unattended cooling applications.

No Water Collection Tank to Empty

The SRCOOL12K's unique zero-maintenance design incorporates a built-in evaporator that expels condensate directly into the exhaust air stream. This eliminates the need for a floor drain, drain tube, drain pan or water collection tank—saving you time and money.

12,000 BTU of Cooling Power

The SRCOOL12K's high BTU rating makes it ideal for a wide range of IT, industrial and commercial applications that require a portable cooling solution.

Improves Air Quality

The SRCOOL12K not only adjusts ambient room temperatures, but also improves air quality by dehumidifying and filtering the air. Better air quality promotes more efficient equipment performance with minimal noise and less power consumption.

Easy-to-Use Controls

The SRCOOL12K features a convenient top-mounted control panel including diagnostic LEDs and an LCD screen to display the temperature. The touch of a button enables users to power the unit on and off, control the mode of operation (Cool, Dehumidify or Fan), set the automatic timer, and lock settings to prevent an accidental interruption of operation.

EPA Compliant

The SRCOOL12K uses R410a refrigerant. R410a contains no ozone-depleting R22 refrigerant, which has been banned by the US EPA in new equipment after January 1, 2010. R410a is also widely accepted around the world.

Convenient Standard Plug

Equipped with a standard 120V NEMA 5-15P plug, the SRCOOL12K connects to all standard wall outlets without an adapter. This allows the unit to be located wherever cooling is needed without any add-ons or costly rewiring.

Peace of Mind

The SRCOOL12K comes with a 1-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wiring Closet or Small Computer Room Cooling, January 3, 2011

This review is from: Tripp Lite SRCOOL12K Portable Cooling / Air Conditioner Stand Alone Spot Air Cooler 120V, 60Hz, 12K BTU (Personal Computers)

We purchased the Tripp-Lite Air cooler for our small firm (15 people) when we upgraded from 2 to 4 servers. They are located in a small closet with our phone switching and it was getting warm inside the closet even with an exhaust fan into the plenum. This is probalby more than we need, but it really works well, and I investigated just about every small cooler on the market, and this was the best cost and size I could find. Also it did not need a drain as the design gets rid of condensation using the heat generated by the unit, not the case with most others I reviewed. Installation of the hot air hose into the plenum was done by our contractor while doing some other minor work on our office, and the start up and operation was seconds after opening the box. Only comlaint is its size, about 2 computers high.

The mfg. is a well known company and the set up was really easy. And the cost ($650 range) was way below the next level cooling unit. We orderd the unit through Amazon (who knew after all the special web sites I went to) and it was there in 3 days. Great vendor follow up also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect solution for hot server rooms, June 6, 2011

This review is from: Tripp Lite SRCOOL12K Portable Cooling / Air Conditioner Stand Alone Spot Air Cooler 120V, 60Hz, 12K BTU (Personal Computers)

Pro's:
This is one high output portable a/c unit. Has an easy to read thermostat, easy to program and has reusable filters. The accessories included were a nice touch, you can either use it to cool the server room down or use the included duct and deliver the cold air directly to the hotspots in your server room. Also the fact that there is no water collection tray is a breath of fresh air. It has a built in evaporator that removed the condensation and expels it with the hot air off the compressor.

Con's:
It can be a pain in the you know what to route the exhaust air out of the room, it comes with a plate for using in either a suspended ceiling or window but my server room has none of these so we had to get a little creative with the exhaust routing.

Other Thoughts:

If your server room is have issues staying cool and you dont want to spend your budget on new hvac equipment get this, before in the summers the server room would stay around 76F now with this installed not only does it stay at 72f but the main unit doesnt have to work as hard and that will save your company a few bucks on the electric bill.
