Ducted Circuit Air Cooling System
The ducted air cooling system is a approved and
cost efficient system.
It offers a flexible way of guiding the cool air
into and the heated air out of the room.
This saves energy costs because lower room
climatisation is required and it reduces ventilation
noise.

Today, it is more important to
reduce the space needed for the entire
transmitter system.
The station is rented by our customers and each
m2
less saves rental cost, or the space in the
building or container is limited and only the most
compact solution fits in.
PLISCH has the smallest footprint per rack with
only 1 m depth for the liquid cooled transmitter.
The integrated liquid cooling unit is a perfect
solution to reduce the space required and saves
installation costs.
