DTS 5561
ActivCool™Series
SIDE MOUNTED COOLING UNITS
8100 Btu/h
Our DTS 5561 (NEMA Type 3R/4) outdoor cooling units are an ideal solution for a wide variety of applications. These units are particularly suited for compact enclosures that operate indoors. Available options include a digital display or LED status indicator. Housing: galvanized sheet steel. Cover: electrostatically powder coated RAL 7035 (light grey) or ANSI 61 (grey)

Features
Environmentally Friendlier
Comes standard with R‑513A refrigerant, meeting stringent environmental regulations and rated A1 (non‑flammable) for safety.
External Display
Available either with a Status Indicator only (LED) for high traffic areas or a Digital Display to maximize the user experience.
Ease of Serviceability
Critical components are serviceable from outside the enclosure, improving safety by eliminating the need to open the energized electrical enclosure.
Easy Installation
The unit is shipped with the gasket installed saving installation time.
Thermal Overload Protection
Compressor and fan motors are outfitted with integral temperature switches to shut down the unit in the event of excessive temperature.
Pressure Overload Protection
High pressure cutout switch ensures safety by shutting off the compressor in the event of excessive pressure appearing in the refrigeration circuit.
Closed Loop Design
Designed to isolate the external ambient air from the internally conditioned air eliminating the risk of contaminants entering the cabinet.
Thermal Expansion Valve
Equipped with energy efficient EC type fan with proprietary algorithm to optimize fan speed to achieve balance between delivering performance and energy efficiency.
Efficient Circulation
Large evaporator for increased airflow path especially critical in densely packed electrical enclosures.
High Airflow Fan
Backward curve impeller fan provides high airflow in a long lasting, single bearing design. Outperforms typical two-bearing blowers with nearly twice the lifespan.
Compact Width
Designed for side-mounting on electrical enclosures. Will fit most 12″ wide cabinets.
Hermetically Sealed Compressor
The absence of any refrigerant fill valves eliminates leak paths. Recharging is never needed. 100% cooling capacity efficiency is ensured.
Active Condensate Management
Condensation is a natural by-product of refrigeration. The heated condensate collection pan boils this off thereby eliminating the need for drain tubes and buckets. To conserve power, this heater only activates when necessary.
UL Listed
Listed to the new UL 60335 certification with enhanced safety standards.
