Active Thermal Management To Release Cooling & Ventilating For ‘THIN’ Spaces

Active Thermal Management (ATM) announced that it will soon be releasing its new Cool-Line™ linear ventilation products. ATM states that it designed and manufactured its new Cool-Line series in response to the need for cooling products to fit into ever narrowing spaces, such as above or below flat-panel displays. First shipments of the quiet and ‘thin’ ventilating product line are scheduled for July.

"This new product grouping fits a real need in today’s flat panel TV and retail display installations," said Frank Federman, CEO for ATM. "We have designed the line to be cool, thin, and attractive in these partial- or full-view applications."

Cool-Line sets are available in metal and various species of unfinished wood. There are also matching grilles, without fans, available in metal and wood to further trim the intake openings. Cool-Line products measure 4" or less in width; lengths vary with models from the 15" (single fan) Cool-Line I to the 30" (twin fan) Cool-Line II, with other sizes available by special order. Each fan moves 20 CFM in free air.

Powerful, but quiet, cross-flow fans are used in all models. Temperature controlled by remote sensors, the fans begin turning at 85°, speeding up gradually as the temperature increases, and slowing as it drops. The Cool-Line products then exhaust the heated air from the enclosures. For extreme cooling situations, active intake models are also available through special order.

Preliminary suggested retail pricing for Cool-Line products will be $330.00 to $595.00, depending upon size and grille material.
