FAQ
Technical specification: questions
Not answered here? Ask us directly. We reply within a few hours.
Request a budget priceCan the unit run in cold climates?
Yes. It can be specified for outdoor temperatures down to −30 °C, and in Nordic and Baltic climates free cooling improves efficiency further.
What rack density is possible?
10 to 15 kW per cabinet as standard and up to 20 kW air cooled. Rear door cooling supports 60 to 70 kW per cabinet for AI and GPU workloads.
Do we receive drawings before manufacture?
Yes. Cabinet elevations, single-line diagrams and a project-specific technical specification are issued for approval before the unit is built.
