Mitsubishi Electric expands new s-MEXT air conditioning systems for IT market

Mitsubishi Electric is expanding its offering in the IT cooling market with its new s-MEXT high precision air conditioning systems. The s-MEXT is a high precision air conditioner that connects directly to Mitsubishi Electric’s DX Mr Slim Power Inverter outdoor units to create a full inverter split system, designed according to the best quality standards and dedicated to the most reliable IT environments. It is also first packaged Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) unit.

The s-MEXT is the first Mitsubishi Electric Hydronics & IT Cooling Systems (MEHITS) product to carry the 3 diamonds, taking advantage of more than 50 years of experience of the RC brand within the IT Cooling market, coupled with Mitsubishi Electric renowned quality standards.

“By using our Mr Slim Power Inverter system, our installers are already familiar with not only the system but with the installation process. Therefore, the s-MEXT can be installed quickly and efficiently, without the need to go through time-intensive training. It also means that the Mitsubishi Electric quality is assured as we roll out our first three-diamonds certified IT cooling product. We are excited to be offering the market a product that is familiar, flexible and reliable,” said Richard Venga, Senior Product Manager at Mitsubishi Electric.

The units are available in capacities from 6kW up to 42kW and are ideal for applications where high sensible cooling and close control of temperature and humidity are required, such as small and medium sized businesses (enterprise data centres) with on premise IT cooling requirements. They are also available in both Upflow and Downflow variants.

“The s-MEXT is available as a packaged solution, meaning both the shipping and installation times are also reduced, unlike many of the traditional IT Cooling systems where lead times can be a lot longer” continued Venga.

The units offer high levels of efficiency, incorporating full Mitsubishi Electric inverter technology and EC plug fans. Occupying a small physical footprint and with pipe runs up to 100m, this makes the s-MEXT a flexible solution for all IT Cooling needs.

The s-MEXT comes complete with Mitsubishi Electric’s standard three-year warranty, a game-changer in the IT cooling market.
