Wall-mount cooling for edge and small data rooms Designed to run 24/7 in critical compute environments, the new Vertiv™ CoolPhase Wall delivers up to 60% greater airflow than traditional cooling systems.
V ertiv, a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, recently announced the launch of the Vertiv™ CoolPhase Wall, a space- saving, wall-mount cooling system designed for small IT spaces and edge environments. The system is designed to meet the needs of IT equipment, removing heat and enabling continuous operation while occupying zero floor space. Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is avail - able now across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). As distributed computing becomes more critical to business operations, compact IT environments need high-quality thermal control designed for sensitive electronic sys- tems. However, many are still using comfort cooling systems designed for human comfort rather than addressing the high sensible heat ratio (SHR) and higher airflow requirements of IT equipment. Vertiv CoolPhase Wall ad- dresses this gap with a purpose-built system that provides the required SHR along with integrated monitoring and control capabilities
to protect equipment and enable 24/7 opera- tional continuity. Built for installation flexibility, the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall features a split system with an indoor wall-mounted cooling unit. The system delivers up to 60% more airflow than standard comfort cooling systems and lever- ages variable-speed compressors and fans to modulate cooling to match the heat load, improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. Designed to handle thermal loads up to 11 kW, the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is engi- neered to operate reliably in outdoor ambi- ent temperatures ranging from -35 to 48 °C. The system features the Vertiv™ Liebert ® iCOM™ operational control, which enables local configuration and supervision of key operating parameters. For extended visibility and remote access, the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall includes onboard remote communication capabilities that provide real-time alerts and operational status via a secure web interface.

refrigerant, a low-global warming potential (GWP) alternative that reduces environ- mental impact while maintaining thermal performance. This positions Vertiv ahead of evolving regulatory requirements, including the European Union’s F-Gas regulations that restrict the use of high-GWP refrigerants. While many comfort cooling systems are still transitioning to lower-GWP options, “As IT continues to expand into areas that were not originally intended for high-density electronics, the demand for adaptable and energy-efficient cooling solutions is increas - ing across EMEA,” said Sam Bainborough, vice president, EMEA thermal business at Vertiv. “The Vertiv CoolPhase Wall continuous operations, enabling customers to maintain reliable, efficient thermal performance. https://www.vertiv.com/en-emea/
