Available now in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the PDX-PAM is available from 10kW to 80kW with a wide range of airflow configurations, options and accessories. 

According to Verity, this makes  the unit easily adaptable to various installation needs, from small to medium data centres including edge computing applications, UPS and battery rooms.

R513A is an A1 non-flammable blend of R134a and R1234yf, with a GWP of around 630.

The PDX-PAM features inverter-driven brushless motor compressors, staged coil design with patent-pending filter, electronic expansion valves and EC fans, all included as standard.
