Dual-Mode Component Cooler Provides Versatile, Effective, Quiet Thermal Protection For Home Theater Components

Active Thermal Management introduces a configurable, multi-purpose component cooler

March 1, 2007

Active Thermal Management, experts in quiet thermal protection solutions, today announced the Dual-Mode Component Cooler™, designed to operate in either of two modes to quietly cool home theater components which have insufficient ventilation. Intended for use on shelves, in bookcases and other semi-enclosed locations, the Cooler consists of a black powder-coated base housing 2 ultra-quiet, high-quality 120 mm fans and a magnetic-base thermal switch assembly. The fans run continuously at an idle speed, suitable for removing the heat produced by always-on components, switching to a higher speed as temperatures rise. As shipped, the Cooler is placed on top of a hot component, cooling it while forming a shelf on which a heat-sensitive component can be placed. In an alternate configuration, the Cooler is placed under a hot component, forcing cooling air up through the component. Mode switching is quickly and easily accomplished using only a Philips screwdriver. In either configuration, the Dual-Mode Component Cooler can support over 100 pounds. Availability and Pricing Available in May, the Dual-Mode Component Cooler will have a suggested retail price of $220.00.
