Outdoor Cabinet Cooling Unit For 5G Base Stations

5G‑ready · IP55 · Modbus RTU

This cooling unit is purpose‑built for 5G base station cabinets, delivering 1800W of sensible cooling at 35°C ambient to maintain RF power amplifiers, baseband units, and backup batteries within their specified operating temperatures. The system employs a high‑efficiency rotary compressor with inverter‑driven fan control, adapting capacity from 600W to 2000W based on real‑time thermal load. The condenser and evaporator coils feature a hydrophilic‑coated aluminum fin and copper tube construction, rated for salt spray exposure (ISO 9227) and continuous operation in coastal or industrial zones. Electrical protection includes surge suppression (Type 1+2) and phase‑loss detection. The unit supports 48V DC or 230V AC input options, with a built‑in DC‑DC converter for solar‑hybrid deployments. Communication is via Modbus RTU over RS‑485, with a secondary dry‑contact alarm relay for legacy site monitoring systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can this unit operate on 48V DC directly?
Yes. The DC variant accepts 42–60V DC input with built‑in reverse polarity protection and soft‑start circuitry. It is suitable for solar‑powered sites or hybrid power systems.
Q: What is the difference between R454C and R134a?
R454C has a GWP of 148 (vs. 1430 for R134a), is mildly flammable (A2L), and provides approximately 6% higher volumetric capacity. The unit uses an EEV and specific compressor oil (POE) for this refrigerant.
Q: How is the unit protected against lightning surges?
The unit includes a Type 1+2 surge arrester (10/350µs and 8/20µs) on the AC input, plus additional TVS diodes on the communication lines (RS‑485) to meet IEC 61000‑4‑5 Level 4.
Q: What is the maintenance schedule for the filter?
The washable aluminum mesh filter should be inspected every 3 months in typical outdoor conditions. Clean with compressed air or mild detergent. Replace every 18 months or if damaged.
Q: Does the unit support remote firmware updates?
Yes. The controller includes a bootloader that allows firmware upgrades via Modbus (function code 0x46) using a proprietary tool. Contact support for the update package and procedure.
Q: Can multiple units be synchronized?
Up to 16 units can be connected on the same RS‑485 bus. The controller supports master‑slave coordination for load‑sharing and staggered startup to reduce in‑rush current.
Clearance: 350 mm inlet / 500 mm outlet Wiring: Cu 2.5 mm², grounding ≤ 4 Ω Avoid: flammable gas, steam, oil mist Winter: auto low‑fan mode, sensor check
