Vertiv launches wall-mounted cooling system for edge and small data rooms in EMEA
DUBAI, UAE, 31 March 2026: Vertiv announced the launch of the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall, which the company described as a space-saving wall-mounted cooling system designed for small IT spaces and edge environments. Making the announcement through a Press Release, Vertiv said the system is designed specifically for the needs of IT equipment, removing heat and enabling continuous operation while taking up zero floor space. The company added that the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is available across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Vertiv said that as distributed computing becomes more critical to business operations, compact IT environments require high-quality thermal control designed for sensitive electronic systems. However, Vertiv said many facilities still rely on comfort cooling systems designed for human comfort rather than addressing the high sensible heat ratio (SHR) and higher airflow requirements of IT equipment. Vertiv added that the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall addresses this gap with a system that provides the required SHR along with integrated monitoring and control capabilities to protect equipment and enable 24/7 operational continuity.
Vertiv said the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall features a split system with an indoor wall-mounted cooling unit designed to offer installation flexibility. Vertiv added that the system delivers up to 60% greater airflow than standard comfort cooling systems and leverages variable-speed compressors and fans to modulate according to heat load demand and improve energy efficiency, contributing to operational cost reductions.
Vertiv said the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is designed to handle thermal loads of up to 11 kW and is engineered to operate reliably in outdoor ambient temperatures ranging from -35 degrees C to 48 degrees C. Vertiv added that the system features Vertiv Liebert iCOM operational control, which enables local configuration and supervision of key operating parameters. Vertiv further said the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall includes onboard remote communication capability to provide real-time alerts and operational status through a secure web interface.
Vertiv said the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall utilises R-32 refrigerant, which the company described as a low-global warming potential (GWP) alternative that reduces environmental impact while maintaining thermal performance. Vertiv said this positions the company ahead of evolving regulatory requirements, including the European Union’s F-Gas regulations that restrict the use of high-GWP refrigerants. Vertiv added that while many comfort cooling systems are still transitioning to lower-GWP options, the company is applying these standards to IT-focused cooling to support alignment with future environmental expectations.
Sam Bainborough, Vice President, EMEA Thermal Business, Vertiv, said: “As IT continues to expand into areas that were not originally intended for high-density electronics, the demand for adaptable and energy-efficient cooling solutions is increasing across EMEA. The Vertiv CoolPhase Wall is engineered to support continuous operations, enabling customers to maintain reliable, efficient thermal performance in small IT rooms and edge sites year-round.”
The company said the Vertiv CoolPhase Wall expands its thermal management portfolio, which includes precision cooling systems for edge deployments, enterprise data centres and high-density AI environments. Vertiv added that the portfolio ranges from room-based cooling to direct-to-chip liquid cooling and rear door heat exchangers.
