Middle Atlantic Closet Cooler, Active In/Passive Out, 220V

The Middle Atlantic Closet Cooler ICLS-COOL-1 is a purpose-built cooling solution designed to protect equipment housed in closets where compact rack systems are installed. By actively drawing heat out of the enclosure and allowing cool air to flow back in, this unit helps maintain optimal operating temperatures for AV, IT, and audio gear housed in tight closet spaces. The system is engineered to work with 220V power and is designed to mount directly to closet doors, making retrofits straightforward without altering room architecture. Two solid oak vents are visible on the exterior, providing a refined, tactile aesthetic that can be stained or painted to seamlessly match any room’s décor. The closet cooler emphasizes energy efficiency by running only when cooling is required, delivering targeted relief where you need it most while minimizing noise and power consumption.

• On-demand cooling with Active In / Passive Out design: This layout ensures heat is removed when needed, helping equipment stay within safe temperature ranges without running continuously, which preserves energy and reduces audible noise.
• Elegant oak venting that blends with interior design: The two solid oak vents are visible on the door and can be stained or painted to complement wood tones or wall colors, adding a subtle architectural detail to any closet.
• Door-mount installation for easy retrofits: The unit mounts securely to closet doors, avoiding major renovations. This makes it ideal for rental spaces or rooms where maintaining wall integrity is important.
• 220V power compatibility for professional racks: Engineered for efficient operation with typical 220V circuits used in AV and small rack environments, providing reliable cooling for sensitive equipment.
• Quiet operation and equipment protection: By actively removing heat only when required, the closet cooler helps prevent heat-induced performance issues and extends the life of rack-mounted gear while keeping disruption to a minimum.

How to install Middle Atlantic Closet Cooler

• Power and planning: Before installation, ensure you have a dedicated 220V circuit available and shut off power to the area to perform the work safely.
• Choose the mounting location: Decide which closet door will best accommodate the unit without obstructing door operation or rack access. Verify there is sufficient clearance for the vents and any exhaust ducting if included.
• Prepare the door surface: Clean the mounting surface and ensure it is free of dust, paint, or coatings that could interfere with bracket attachment. If you plan to stain or paint the oak vents, consider completing finishing work prior to installation.
• Attach mounting hardware: Use the provided brackets or mounting hardware to secure the closet cooler to the door. Ensure the unit sits flush and remains stable with no wobble or interference with door movement.
• Connect power and vents: Connect the unit to the 220V supply per the manufacturer’s wiring instructions. If an active exhaust or passive out vent is included, route any intake/exhaust paths according to the kit guidelines, ensuring vents are unobstructed for optimal airflow.
• Test and finalize: Restore power and test the system by operating the closet door to verify proper airflow and cooling behavior. If the unit includes an adjustable temperature or fan setting, set it to a balance between effective cooling and quiet operation. Finish by staining or painting the oak vents if desired and allowed by the installation guidelines.
