Mitsubishi Electric Australia has released an energy efficient cooling system, specifically designed for IT environments. Building on the company’s legacy of IT Cooling, s-MEXT is the new cooling system that delivers efficiency and quality.
The split cooling package consists of the s-MEXT high precision air conditioner indoor unit connected to a Mr Slim R32 inverter outdoor unit. The product is significant for data centres around the country where 40% of total electricity usage comes from air conditioning.
Aside from its energy efficiency focus, the new s-MEXT air conditioning is equipped to precisely control temperature and relative humidity. Its compact size means it can easily integrate into small IT rooms, small data centres, or distribution rooms.
Mitsubishi Electric Australia national product manager, Atesh Mani explained the importance of the new product for data centres around the country.
“We’re excited to launch the latest product in the Mitsubishi Electric IT Cooling family. The s-MEXT has been manufactured to provide IT environments with powerful cooling solutions while providing businesses with a R32 refrigerant option.”
Increased power densities in IT environments have led to growing temperatures (up to 23°C) of intake airflows directed to the IT equipment. The s-MEXT and Mr Slim cooling package has been designed to manage return air temperatures up to 35°C, matching the requirements of the most critical data centres.
“We’re aware that a significant portion of the electricity consumed by data centres is by air-conditioning as such, it is really important that we are constantly innovating to meet the highest energy efficiency standards.” Mani added.
S-MEXT is available in over (top air supply) and under (bottom air supply) variants for a wider range of applications.
