Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global leader in critical digital infrastructure, today announced the launch of the Vertiv™ CoolPhase Wall, a compact, wall-mounted cooling system designed for small IT spaces and edge environments. The system is tailored for IT equipment, removing heat and enabling continuous operation without occupying floor space. Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is currently available across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
As distributed computing becomes more vital to business operations, compact IT environments require high-quality thermal management designed for sensitive electronic systems. However, many still rely on comfort cooling systems intended for human comfort rather than addressing the high sensible heat ratio (SHR) and increased airflow needs of IT equipment. Vertiv CoolPhase Wall fills this gap with a purpose-built system that delivers the necessary SHR along with integrated monitoring and control features to safeguard equipment and support 24/7 operational continuity.
Designed for installation flexibility, the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall features a split system with an indoor wall-mounted cooling unit. The system provides up to 60% more airflow than standard comfort cooling systems and utilises variable-speed compressors and fans to adjust according to heat load, thereby enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operating costs.
Designed to manage thermal loads of up to 11 kW, the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is built to operate reliably in outdoor ambient temperatures from -35 to 48℃. The system incorporates the Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ control, allowing local setup and monitoring of key operational parameters. For enhanced visibility and remote management, the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall includes onboard remote communication to deliver real-time alerts and status updates via a secure web interface.
The Vertiv™ CoolPhase Wall uses R-32 refrigerant, a low-global warming potential (GWP) alternative that reduces environmental impact while maintaining thermal efficiency. This positions Vertiv ahead of changing regulatory requirements, including the European Union’s F-Gas regulations that limit the use of high-GWP refrigerants. While many comfort cooling systems are still moving towards lower-GWP options, Vertiv is implementing these standards in IT-focused cooling, giving organisations confidence that their deployments meet future environmental expectations.
“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 growing across EMEA,” said Sam Bainborough, vice president, EMEA thermal business at Vertiv. “The Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is designed to support continuous operations, enabling customers to maintain reliable, efficient thermal performance in small IT rooms and edge sites all year round.”
Vertiv CoolPhase Wall broadens the company’s complete thermal management range, which includes precision cooling systems for edge deployments, enterprise data centres, and high-density AI environments, from room-based cooling to direct-to-chip liquid cooling and rear door exchangers.
