Features:

A water-cooled heat exchanger door is designed to dissipate heat generated from the back of your computer systems before it enters the room

An easy to mount rear door design that attaches to customer supplied water, using industry-standard fittings and couplings.

Up to 50,000 BTUs (or approximately 15 kW) of heat can be removed from air exiting the back of a rack full of servers
