Company brief
What Rittal does
Rittal starts with the rack and adds power, sensors, rear-door heat exchangers, liquid feed equipment, and wider room cooling. Buying the rack and cooling together can make door fit, hose paths, cable access, weight, alarms, and controls easier to plan. The range covers one rack as well as larger data halls.
Rittal also explains when to use room air, a rear door, or direct liquid cooling as rack heat rises. A rear door keeps normal air-cooled servers and moves their hot exhaust into water. Direct-to-chip cooling needs cold plates and a clean water loop inside the rack.
Even in the same Rittal cabinet, these two paths have different service steps and warranties. Buyers should ask if the quoted coolant distribution unit, chiller, or rear door is sold in their country. They should also check if it fits other firms' racks or only chosen Rittal models.
Test output at the planned water temperature. Check moisture risk, door weight and swing, server fan pressure, spare pumps and controls, water quality, open data links, parts, and the firm that owns server-side work. Rittal is part of the Friedhelm Loh Group, which may shape the sales contract.
Rittal reports the range and use advice itself. Its public home page does not show third-party yearly power use, relative uptime, or the final cost of a full rack and cooling package.

Connected records
Cooling technologies
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling
A metal plate sits directly on each processor, and liquid pumped through it carries the heat out of the rack.
Rear-door heat exchangers
A water-cooled coil takes the place of the rack's back door and cools the hot air on its way out.
Connected records
Equipment categories
Coolant distribution units
The unit that stands between the building's water and the servers, controlling how much coolant flows, how cold it is, and how clean it stays.
Data center chillers
Refrigeration equipment that makes cold water on demand, whatever the weather outside is doing.
Rear-door heat exchangers
A water-cooled coil built into the back door of a rack, cooling the hot air as it leaves.
