This rugged, stand-alone 19-inch rack-mount chassis provides a top-load solution for high-power 6U VPX modules. Heat collection is achieved using liquid flow-through sidewalls of a one air transport rack (ATR) format sub-assembly. Transferring heat from the ATR is enabled via a closed-loop fluid system. Heat rejection is achieved by an internally-enclosed liquid-to-air heat exchanger mounted in the base of the 8U enclosure.
Cooling air enters the lower front of the enclosure through an EMI-protected filter. Having passed through the heat exchanger, hot air is drawn by the high performance fans to vent to the rear of the enclosure.
The ‘on board’ chassis monitor controls the thermal environment and power system, reporting state-of-health data. Cooling fluid management is achieved utilizing a smart pump, controller, and accumulator.
The rear panel is capable of supporting a wide range of I/O interconnect.
