What does HIX055B mean?

H I X 0 5 5 B
  • H = Heat exchanger
  • I = Industrial series (industrial / utility)
  • X = Cross Flow configuration
  • 055 = 55 W/°F capacity
  • B = 48VDC input

Where HIX055B Fits

Best applications for this model

HIX055B is sized for cabinets where the internal heat load is in the range that 55 W/°F can move at your available temperature differential. As a quick rule of thumb, multiply 55 by your ambient-to-target ΔT to get the maximum heat load (in watts) this unit can handle. For example, at a 20°F ΔT this model removes 1100W; at a 30°F ΔT, 1650W.

Watch: Cross Flow vs. Counter Flow

Common use cases

Equipment shelters, telecom huts, large outdoor industrial enclosures, high-density edge data center cabinets.
