As the computing power of server systems, industrial automation, IT infrastructure and AI increases, so do the requirements for energy efficiency and effective cooling of devices enclosed in 19" racks. What used to be sufficient in a control cabinet often cannot keep up with the realities of operation today, especially in environments such as data centres, edge computing, HPC systems and quantum devices.
As a distributor of nVent Schroff solutions, we help engineers, integrators and prefabricators select complete power supply and cooling systems that not only meet standards, but above all are adapted to the actual thermal and electrical load of the enclosure.
Problem one: ever-increasing power requirements
Modern rack-mounted equipment generates enormous amounts of heat – and requires ever-increasing power supplies. A single enclosure can contain equipment with a total power requirement exceeding several dozen kilowatts.
This poses two fundamental challenges for every system designer:
Advanced cooling from nVent Schroff – more than just a fan
In response to growing thermal challenges, nVent Schroff offers a full range of cooling systems for rack cabinets – from classic fans and air exchangers to liquid-to-liquid and air-to-liquid cooling.
Solutions for operation in dedicated cooling aisles are also available, which increases efficiency and allows for more precise temperature management.
The range includes:
These solutions offer great flexibility in prefabrication – both in cabinets for industrial interiors and in environments with limited air flow.

Second key topic: power distribution in the enclosure
With greater power and more devices, there is a need for controlled power distribution. It is no longer just a matter of connecting devices, but of complete load management, redundancy and monitoring.
This is where intelligent PDUs (Power Distribution Units) from nVent Schroff come into play.
What do modern PDUs offer?
For many users, intelligent PDUs are not a luxury – they are a key element for the safety and stability of the rack. Especially where continuity of operation and SLAs are important.

Why work with ELTRON and Schroff?
We advise not only on ‘what to install’, but also on how it should work – we know Schroff products inside out and know how to select them for a specific application.
Comprehensive offer – cooling, ventilation, PDU strips, power supply, fasteners, prefabrication.
Technical and documentation support – for projects, tenders and implementations.
Practical knowledge – we work with system integrators, prefabricators and R&D departments.
We do not sell random components. We help build cabinets that operate stably, quietly and safely – even in conditions of high power density and limited ventilation space.
Summary
The increasing density of equipment in 19" cabinets requires well-thought-out solutions for cooling and power supply.
nVent Schroff, thanks to its system offering, allows you to build a cabinet that not only houses your equipment, but also provides it with a safe, cool and stable working environment.
If you design or prefabricate cabinets, contact an ELTRON consultant. We will advise you, optimise and prepare a complete configuration – from the fan to the PDU.
