Simplex MicroStar Precision Air Heaters (Load Banks) enable comprehensive testing of data center hot aisle/cold aisle cooling systems. The MicroStar is a 19-inch rack mountable device (10U high) that can be easily installed into a wide range of standard server racks. Precision heat generation is possible via the integration of adjustable heat levels (load steps) and adjustable airflow (velocity and CFM).
The MicroStar is rated up to 17.5kw at 240vAC, single-phase, and connects to the rack power distribution bus via standard C19 plugs.
