Air Conditioned Transit Cases
Air Conditioned Transit Cases
CP Cases has been considered the industry leader in Air-Conditioned Transit Cases (AC/TC), since their initial development in 2005. We offer air conditioning options for our Amazon Racks, as well as all 4U and larger ERacks. Air conditioning can be provided using either a Thermoelectric (TEU) or a Vapor Compression Cycle (VCC) unit. The size and type of AC unit is selected based on the cooling output required to keep the electronics operating in the optimal environment. The cooling required is dependent on various factors like heat output of the electronics and geographic location of use. Many of our air-conditioned transit cases utilize an extra, smaller case called a COOL COLLAR to permanently house the ac unit. This allows the operator to connect the cases during operation and disconnect them for storage and transport. It also gives users access to the rear of their electronics without depopulating the chassis.
Injection Molded Cases
Injection Molded Cases
The 3i Series Cases are injection molded from ultra high-strength polypropylene copolymer resin, material specified by the U.S. military for cases and containers. It features a gasketed, water and dust-tight submersible design, meeting military standard MIL-C-4150J.

Lightweight racks for transportation
The Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) for Renewable Energy had been charged with measuring solar radiation in given parts of the world in order to create reputable research to be used in a study of global warming.
The Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) is one of the seven scientific Institutes of the Joint Research Centre (JRC), a Directorate General of the European Commission. The mission of the IET is to provide support to European Union policies and technology innovation to ensure sustainable, safe, secure and efficient energy production, distribution and use and to foster sustainable and efficient transport in Europe.
The Challenge
They needed some “lightweight but rugged” racks to house electronic instruments which could be transported from Italy to the Californian Mojave desert, USA. The equipment they were using for the research was very delicate and expensive and therefore could only be taken on a flight as checked baggage. Lightweight, robust and conforming to IATA standards SatRack was the ideal solution.
Job Details
Lightweight, robust and conforming to IATA standards for checked baggage, SatRack was the ideal solution. Its thermos-formed honeycomb polypropylene (HPP) body shell has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is resistant to crushing. The forming process does not crimp the HPP, but instead gives the angled edges longitudinal strength and rigidity with a stacking capacity up to 100kg.
IET were able to undertake their research without difficulty – the round trip of some 20,000 kilometres and rigours of plane & vehicle transportation and backpacking in the region presented no issue to the rack mounted equipment.
