Pixus Technologies has introduced a new cooling solution for OpenVPX and MicroTCA systems. The 12-V RiCool V fans provide up to 200 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of cooling and 3.2 in. of H2 O static pressure.
The new reverse-impeller blowers from Pixus require only 1U of space above the card cage to provide high-performance cooling. And this approach helps keep the chassis height low while providing more efficient and effective cooling than axial muffin fans that are often employed in the rear of an enclosure.
The RiCool V fans also provide full shelf management functionality and are individually hot swappable. Moreover, while Pixus’ new cooling solution facilitates intelligent cooling in several backplane-based computing systems, there is also a self-controlled version or thermistor for non-intelligent applications.
Pixus offers chassis platforms in OpenVPX, MicroTCA, AdvancedTCA, and VME64x formats.
