CoolRack DX: Air-Conditioned Server Cabinets as Germany Faces Record Heat
by Marketing
August 2026 is running roughly 5°C above the long-term average in Germany, with peaks above 39°C recorded this month, following an all-time national heat record of 41.8°C set in June. For server rooms without dedicated climate control, sustained heat like this poses a direct operational risk to IT hardware. Lehmann IT's CoolRack DX addresses this with a fully integrated, air-conditioned server cabinet built around direct-expansion cooling — effectively a self-contained air conditioning system mounted directly on the rack. A side-cooling unit delivers up to 14 kW of cooling capacity, and the plug-and-play design means it can be operational immediately without any separate building HVAC work. Built on a sturdy 42U frame with high load capacity and modular airflow, the CoolRack DX is suited to decentralized IT sites, small server rooms, and any location without existing climate control.
