Rear Door Heat Exchanger for AI & Data Centers
Core Technical Advantages
-
Door-Integrated, Zero Floor Space Design Mounts directly to the rear of standard server racks, requiring no additional floor space and simplifying deployment in new and retrofitted data centers.
-
Direct Hot Air Capture Captures server exhaust air at the rack rear, eliminating hot air recirculation and reducing the need for raised-floor air conditioning.
-
High-Capacity Heat Rejection Efficiently transfers waste heat from exhaust air to chilled water loops, supporting high-density AI and HPC workloads with minimal facility cooling overhead.
-
Flexible Deployment Compatible with both new liquid cooling data centers and retrofitted facilities with existing chilled water infrastructure, enabling phased liquid cooling adoption.
-
Low-Noise, Energy-Efficient Operation Reduces reliance on high-speed rack fans and raised-floor air conditioning, lowering overall data center PUE and noise levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
1.What is a Rear Door Heat Exchanger used for?
A Rear Door Heat Exchanger (RDHX) is a rack-mounted liquid cooling solution that replaces the rear door of a server rack, capturing hot exhaust air and transferring heat to a chilled water loop. It eliminates hot spots and supports higher rack power densities.
2.What are the benefits of an RDHX over other liquid cooling solutions?
RDHX units require no additional floor space, integrate directly into standard racks, and enable phased liquid cooling adoption. They eliminate hot air recirculation, reduce reliance on facility air conditioning, and support both new and retrofitted data centers.
3.Is the unit compatible with standard server racks?
EXTRCOOL’s RDHX is designed to fit standard 19-inch server racks and supports standard chilled water pressures and temperatures. Contact our engineering team for tailored compatibility verification with your specific rack and chilled water system.
