Waterloo, Ontario  —  Nov 15, 2016   –  Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, offers its 15U AdvancedTCA Chassis with new blowers that are more powerful and efficient.

The Pixus horizontal-mount AdvancedTCA chassis utilize individually hot-swappable reverse impeller blowers for cooling above 400W/slot.  The new RiCool IV versions provide up to 576 Cubic Feet per Minute (CFM) for each fan and 3.6” H20 of static pressure at max speed.  The combined four blowers provide massive cooling and the unit continues to operate at full load in a 55 degree C environment for 96 hours with one fan removed.
