Introduction

Ice Qube computer and electronics enclosure cooling systems have been designed to provide a safe
environment for your equipment. Our cooling systems provide this environment by cooling the enclosure
that houses your equipment while providing an efficient, modern, and aesthetically pleasing package
requiring minimal maintenance. Our closed-loop circulation design also protects your equipment from air-
borne dust and contaminants which may hinder your equipment operations and cause unnecessary
downtime. Our systems will maintain at least 5° temperature difference above ambient. Models range from
5.5 to 83 watts/°F cooling capacity.

Basic Unit Operation

The Ice Qube Thermal Management System (TMS) is a combination of several systems that function
simultaneously to maintain environmentally friendly conditions for your equipment within the enclosure.
The three main thermal related systems that we employ are the closed-loop cold air supply stream, the heat
rejection air stream, and our MSCCT, Multi Surface Cold Core Technology heat exchanger.
Within this system are only two moving parts. They are maintenance-free fans/blowers, which are used to
move air over the heat exchanger (MSCCT). The enclosure fan moves hot air from the top of the enclosure,
through the heat exchanger core where the heat is dissipated and the cool air returns to the bottom of the
enclosure. The ambient fan moves cool air from near the bottom of the heat exchanger through the core
where the heat from the enclosure is absorbed and dissipated to the ambient air out of the top of the heat
exchanger.
