Tripp Lite SRCOOL3KTP

Overview

The Tripp Lite SRCOOL3KTP is a precision cooling air conditioner designed to deliver 3.5 kW (12,000 BTU) of targeted cooling directly into server racks. It operates on 208 or 240 volt power and fits into 9U of vertical rack space, making it an efficient solution for managing heat in data centers, network closets, and other environments with mission-critical IT equipment. Its self-contained design eliminates the need for external piping or chilled-water connections, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Key features

• Delivers focused cooling directly into the rack to maintain optimal operating temperatures for servers and networking gear
• Mounts on top of most Tripp Lite SmartRack enclosures up to 33U, preserving valuable floor space
• Uses environmentally friendly R410A refrigerant in a sealed refrigeration circuit without requiring external condensers or plumbing
• Variable fan speed adjusts automatically to the equipment load, improving energy efficiency and temperature stability
• Built-in LX Platform network card enables continuous remote monitoring of temperature, humidity, and system health via browser or SNMP
• Seven-inch color touchscreen provides local control, real-time diagnostics, and alarm notifications for quick on-site management
• Automatic condensate evaporation removes the need for manual drainage, reducing maintenance tasks
• Durable copper tubing and industrial-grade components ensure reliable, continuous operation in demanding environments

Installation and setup

Installing the SRCOOL3KTP is straightforward and requires minimal effort. The unit is designed to lift onto the top of compatible SmartRack cabinets and secure with included hardware. After connecting to a suitable 208 or 240 volt power source, users can set the desired target temperature via the touchscreen interface. The self-contained design means no external plumbing or condensate drainage is necessary, simplifying deployment in edge data centers, retail backrooms, or lab environments.

Performance and reliability

This air conditioner maintains stable temperatures by adjusting fan speed based on the actual heat load inside the rack, which helps reduce energy consumption during periods of low demand. Its sealed refrigeration circuit with copper tubing and industrial-grade components supports continuous-duty operation, making it a dependable choice for environments where uptime is critical. Automatic condensate evaporation further enhances reliability by eliminating routine maintenance tasks.

Ideal uses and environments

The SRCOOL3KTP is well suited to edge micro data centers, small server rooms, retail backrooms, school labs, and light industrial workspaces. It fits well in setups where floor space is limited but precise temperature control is essential to protect sensitive IT equipment. Its network monitoring capabilities and local touchscreen control make it a strong choice for IT teams that need both remote oversight and quick on-site access to system status.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
