Vertiv GL-EC-42-3246 Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Vertiv GL-EC-42-3246 is an adjustable exhaust chimney designed to manage heat exhaust from rack-mounted IT equipment. It directs hot air away from the front of the rack and into the cold aisle or directly into the building's HVAC system, preventing recirculation and maintaining optimal operating temperatures. This unit is critical for ensuring the reliability and performance of high-density server and network deployments where thermal management is paramount. The GL-EC-42-3246 model specifically addresses equipment with heights ranging from 32 to 46 inches and a depth of 42 inches.

Compatibility

This exhaust chimney is designed for use with standard 19-inch racks. It is compatible with a wide range of rack-mounted IT equipment, including servers, network switches, and storage devices, provided their physical dimensions and heat exhaust profiles align with the chimney's adjustable range. It is particularly suited for Vertiv's own rack systems and other standard enterprise rack enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation involves mounting the chimney to the rear of the rack enclosure, typically to the rack's vertical mounting rails or rear support members. The adjustable height mechanism allows for a custom fit to the specific equipment installed. Ensure the chimney is securely fastened to prevent vibration or dislodgement. Proper sealing around the chimney and rack opening is recommended to maximize thermal separation efficiency.
