Next Generation Direct Air Cooling (DAC)
Direct Air Cooling (DAC) is an industry-leading fan based direct air cooling system providing low-maintenance, energy-efficient and environmentally friendly cooling options for equipment cabinets and shelter enclosures. It works by bringing outside fresh air to the equipment in an energy-efficient, controlled and clean method.
DAC solutions from RFI consistently deliver clean, reliable cooling. They are proven to reduce cooling electricity by over 75% compared to traditional HVAC systems. They are DC powered thus eliminating interruptions during power outages. DACs qualify for energy rebates and green initiative programs.

DualXchange Hybrid Ecosystem for Thermal Management in Walk-Up Telecom Cabinets
The DualXchange DAC (Direct Air Cooling) is a versatile solution designed to integrate seamlessly with existing HVAC systems. When the temperature inside the enclosure is below the maximum allowable threshold, DualXchange recirculates air to maintain the temperature. If the temperature exceeds the threshold, the ecosystem introduces fresh, filtered ambient air. This DC-powered, NEMA 4-rated solution ensures continuous operation during power outages, reduces operational expenses by significantly lowering HVAC operation and power consumption, and decreases HVAC replacement and maintenance costs, extending the lifespan of HVAC systems.
- Provides efficient backup cooling for walk-up cabinets to ensure operation during power outages
- Reduces operational expenses by lowering site power consumption
- Decreases site visits by extending the lifespan of HVAC systems
- Sensors enable predictive maintenance to prevent costly repairs
Outdoor Telecom Cabinet Cooling System
- Cools up to 4kW heat load cabinets using less than 250W with quad high efficiency fans, delta T as low as 5 degrees C.
