Designed in collaboration with UNC Chapel Hill
March 28, 2023 - Houston, Texas: CCI has announced an important addition to its family of lecterns called the COOL-IT airflow system. This system was designed in collaboration with the AV Engineers at UNC Chapel Hill. "We were told by the university that heat and dust were the two biggest enemies of any AV installation" says Kolavo, Founder of CCI. "The college challenged us to create a simple, affordable solution for pulling cool clean air through our AV cabinets."
Three main components were used to accomplish this goal. First, a custom filtered perforated front door was designed which can accept any 'off-the shelf' 14" x 20" air filter. Second, a rear door was created with an exhaust slot. This door is designed to work with the third component—a quiet 1ru cooling fan. This powerful little fan will pull the cool air through the filtered front door and blow the hot air out the rear exhaust slot.
This new COOL-IT upgrade adds about $400 to the cost of one of their standard lecterns (fan + filtered front door + exhaust rear door combo). This is a great investment for protecting your expensive AV hardware from damage.
This cooling system is now available for all of CCI's 14u lectern cabinets. The company has also created an animation which illustrates the details explained above. See link below.
