BATTERY TEMPERATURE (C)

Graph reproduced from the Eurobat Guide. A battery is

considered at the end of its service life whenever delivering
less than 80% of its nominal capacity.

Klondike CoolBath - Indoor

For UPS rooms.
VRLA batteries should be maintained at 20C to
maximise their service life.

Electronic equipment, switched mode power

supplies etc. can typically be operated at >30C.
Using air conditioning to maintaining an entire
room at a lower temperature for the sake of the
batteries is inefficient.

Klondike CoolBath - Indoor

The indoor Klondike CoolBath keeps batteries
at 20C while air conditioning set point is
increased to allow room temperature to
increase to up to 35C.

Patented technology developed by Bell Labs

Replaces current battery racks

Solid state construction = high reliability and

no routine maintenance.
Average power consumption 25W

Klondike CoolBath - Indoor

Stackable insulated
enclosure

Front lid with cooling

elements and control
system

Bank of four VRLA

batteries

Klondike CoolBath - Outdoor

For outdoor VRLA batteries
(e.g. generator start up batteries)
The outdoor Klondike CoolBath keeps
batteries at 20C while the ambient air
temperature increase to up to 45C.

Similar design to indoor Klondike CoolBath

Operating temperature up to 60C.
IP67 rating

Klondike CoolString
Originally designed for cooling battery banks in telecoms BTS cabinets

Cool air from the air conditioning system doesnt adequately penetrate
the voids between the batteries, leading to heat build up and premature
failure.

Klondike CoolString
The Klondike CoolString removes heat from the voids between VRLA
batteries and dissipates it into the air flow from the air conditioning
system.
Patented technology developed by
Bell Labs
Solid state construction = high
reliability and no routine maintenance.

Average power consumption 25W

per bank of four VRLA batteries

Klondike CoolRack
Cools hot spots in rack mounted electronics in
broadcasting, IT and data centres.
Localised hot spots can cause equipment to go
into alarm mode and effect reliability and signal
quality.
The Klondike CoolRack introduces
additional local cooling to combat hot
spots.
Equipment density can also be increased.

Klondike CoolRack
The Klondike CoolRack efficiently extracts heat from equipment and
dissipates it into the air conditioned environment.

Retrofittable to a standard 19
rack
Solid state construction = high
reliability and no routine
maintenance.
Interface for BMS
