Condenser must be ducted using the SRCOOL7KDUCT. The SRCOOL7KRM Rack-Mounted Air Conditioning Unit pumps 7,000 BTU/h(2.0 kW) of close-coupled cooling power into your IT equipment to prevent shutdowns, malfunctions and failures caused by overheating.

This space-saving, energy-efficient unit is perfect for data centers, server rooms, network closets and other environments with heat-sensitive rack-mounted equipment and limited floor space. The self-contained SRCOOL7KRM mounts just like any other rack equipment in 8U of space at the top or bottom of a rack enclosure. A magnetic air dam attaches to the front door of the rack enclosure to ensure that equipment draws cool air from the SRCOOL7KRM instead of drawing warm air from the room. Because it only cools the equipment inside the rack enclosure, the SRCOOL7KRM is much more efficient than solutions that cool an entire room to achieve the same result. The SRCOOL7KRM filters the air, and its built-in evaporator eliminates condensation, as well as the need for a floor drain or water collection tank. The 7-foot cord plugs into a standard 15A(NEMA 5-15R) outlet. The unit restarts automatically after power failures, and you can use the built-in timer to schedule unattended shutdown and startup.

The intuitive control panel includes a digital display and diagnostic LEDs to communicate operating conditions at a glance.The optional SRCOOLNET2 remote management accessory(sold separately) allows you to monitor temperatures, receive alerts, review logs and control settings over the Ethernet network from any location via SNMP, Web, SSH or telnet. The SRCOOLNET2 accessory also includes an ENVIROSENSE® temperature and humidity sensor that allows you to link cooling output with temperature readings up to 12 feet away.

Our window air-conditioners partly block a desirable view. Would it be worth getting through-the-wall units installed in our apartment before trying to sell it?A. Through-the-wall air-conditioning units are always a plus, said Jill Raff, a salesperson in the New York office of Keller Williams Realty. And some potential buyers might rule out an apartment altogether if it has window-mounted air-conditioners.“I’ve been with buyers who have eliminated apartments from their list because they didn’t want the hassle of taking an air-conditioner in and out seasonally,” Ms. Raff said.

“It’s big, it’s bulky, it’s cumbersome to deal with, and you have to do it a couple of times a year.”Blocking views is an issue as well. “The views from an apartment are one of the key criteria that most buyers look at when considering a property,” she said, adding that a portly air-conditioner can diminish the appeal of an otherwise pleasing view.For both reasons, Ms. Raff strongly recommended having through-the-wall air-conditioners installed before listing the apartment. She added one caveat: Because installation involves cutting holes in exterior walls, some buildings don’t allow it. “First check with your building management and alteration agreements to get approvals,” she said. “And follow the right guidelines.”Historic buildings in particular may have restrictions when it comes to installing through-the-wall air-conditioners, said Ranjit Singh, owner of the New York air-conditioning company Cool Air Inc., “but in most buildings, it’s no problem.”

As long as it’s allowed, he agreed that through-the-wall units are preferable. “A large share of the market for room air-conditioners are window units,” he said, “but windows aren’t actually made for air-conditioners.”His company offers seasonal storage and installation for window air-conditioners, but it also sells and installs through-the-wall units. To create an opening for a through-the-wall unit, technicians hang a small scaffold out the window and cut a hole from the outside of the building. Then they install waterproof membranes and a permanent sleeve to hold the air-conditioner. (, costs about $3,000.)Mr. Singh said he prefers air-conditioners from Friedrich, for reliability and because he believes they will be the easiest to replace in the future. “New York has lots of different types of sleeves, because companies came and went,” he said, but “the most standard-size sleeves come from Friedrich. They were the same size 50 years ago as they are today.”Having the work done can be temporarily disruptive, Ms. Raff said, but it is likely to pay off once the apartment is on the market.
