CANATAL Precision Cooling Units

We are very familiar with Liebert, APC and Data-aire CRAC units but have never had a chance to see a CANATAL (http://www.canatal.com/) precision cooling unit "up close and personal". Today we had a chance to meet with CANATAL CEO Bob Bedard and Regional Sales Manager Anthony Adams at the BICSI Annual Conference in Orlando, FL and view a demonstration unit they had on display at the CANATAL booth. CANATAL has done some very interesting things from a design standpoint and have some impressive efficiency claims for their hardware.

Some of the features we find impressive are the robust build quality of the chassis, quality of the welds in joined components and the use of centrifugal fans placed in the plenum which they claim creates a more uniform plenum pressure.

We'll be evaluating their units for use in several projects and will keep you updated on our progress.
