Rack-Mount Heat Exchangers
AMETEK Rotron's rack-mounted heat exchangers deliver continuous cooling for aerospace and defense electronics
Built around field-proven AMETEK Rotron fans, these cooling systems are engineered to operate 24/7 in the most demanding environments.
Many units are in service on military platforms around the world, providing reliable thermal management in everything from avionics racks on aircraft to shipboard and ground-based electronics cabinets. Available in standard 19” rack widths (commonly 4U or 6U tall) or fully custom configurations, our heat exchangers seamlessly integrate into your equipment racks while meeting your exact size and performance requirements.

Built for Reliability
Our rack-mount heat exchangers are purpose-built for harsh environmental conditions. Each unit is qualified to aerospace and military standards to withstand conditions such as harsh vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, salt fog, and humidity. With a heritage dating back to 1945 in aerospace thermal management, we’ve honed our designs through decades of field experience to deliver MTBF and longevity that leads the industry.
Customization Options
| Standard 19” Rack or Custom Sizes |
Easy drop-in for common 19” racks (4U, 6U etc.), or custom builds to fit unique enclosures and space constraints. |
| Fault Monitoring & Status Indicators |
Real-time health alerts for proactive maintenance. Instantly know if a fan slows or a circuit trips. |
| Variable Speed Control |
Tune cooling performance vs. noise/power. Boost cooling during high load, reduce speed for quiet, efficient operation when possible. |
| Sound-Dampening Foam |
Lowers noise output for quieter operation. Ideal for crewed vehicles or quiet zones. |
| Temperature Sensing |
Smart thermostatic control adjusts fan speeds to temperature – optimal cooling at all times with no manual intervention. |
| Removable/Cleanable Air Filters |
Filters stop dust and sand; easy to remove and clean, keeping airflow strong and maintenance simple even in dusty environments |
| Condensation Drains |
Safe operation in humid or weather-exposed conditions. Prevents moisture buildup that could damage electronics. |
