Middle Atlantic PDCOOL PowerCool Series Power and Cooling

Product Overview

The Middle Atlantic PDCOOL is a PowerCool Series unit that integrates power distribution with active cooling in a single rackmount chassis. Designed for AV racks where thermal management and power management must coexist in a limited rack space footprint, the PDCOOL eliminates the need for separate PDU and fan tray units. It is suited for AV integrators managing heat-sensitive equipment in enclosed rack environments.

Product Description

The PowerCool Series addresses a common challenge in AV rack design: equipment generating heat inside an enclosed rack while requiring organized, protected power distribution. The PDCOOL combines these functions by integrating a power distribution unit with an active cooling system in one device. This reduces rack space consumption and simplifies installation, as a single unit handles both functions. The active cooling draws air through the rack to reduce internal temperatures and extend equipment life.
