Description
Middle Atlantic Fan Kit, 190 CFM, Rear Doors, 220V
Introducing the Middle Atlantic Fan Kit designed for optimal thermal management in WRK, MRK, and ERK series enclosures. Engineered to deliver steady airflow and flexible cooling options, this kit integrates with standard solid rear doors to transform passive cooling into active, responsive ventilation. Whether you’re outfitting a small equipment rack or a large AV or data-center enclosure, the 190 CFM fan kit with 220V power offers a dependable solution for maintaining performance, protecting sensitive gear, and extending equipment life. It’s a practical upgrade for professionals who demand consistent temperature control without compromising enclosure security or aesthetics. The design emphasizes reliability, ease of installation, and compatibility with post-laser knockouts for an streamlined retrofit that minimizes downtime.
- High-efficiency airflow for reliable cooling: This fan kit delivers up to 190 CFM of airflow, tuned to maximize heat removal from enclosure interiors while keeping energy consumption modest. The result is more stable operating temperatures for servers, audio/video gear, and network hardware, helping prevent thermal throttling and unexpected shutdowns. The airflow is engineered to create balanced circulation without creating disruptive turbulence, ensuring even cooling across multiple rack components.
- Compatibility with WRK, MRK and ERK enclosures: The kit is designed to integrate with Middle Atlantic’s standard solid rear doors used on WRK, MRK, and ERK series enclosures. This compatibility means a straightforward retrofit that preserves the enclosure’s appearance and structural integrity. The kit aligns with existing door mounting points, making installation predictable and repeatable for service teams and installers familiar with Middle Atlantic products.
- Configurable for active or passive thermal management: The rear-door configuration supports both passive cooling and active cooling setups, depending on your environmental conditions and equipment load. When combined with the appropriate vent and filter kits (available separately), you can tailor airflow to ambient temperature, humidity, and rack density. This flexibility helps balance cooling performance with noise considerations and energy use, enabling a customized thermal strategy for critical gear.
- Easy post-laser-installation setup: The fan kit is designed for installation after laser knockouts are removed from the rear door. This approach minimizes fabrication complexity and aligns with facility workflows that upgrade enclosures after cutting or routing is completed. The kit’s components are engineered for secure mounting and clean routing, reducing the risk of vibrations, loose fittings, or misalignment over time.
- Durable construction with quiet operation: Middle Atlantic combines robust materials with precision-blade design and efficient housings to deliver reliable performance with minimal noise. The well-engineered blades and streamlined shrouding minimize energy waste and wind noise, making the kit suitable for equipment rooms, video studios, broadcast facilities, and data centers where acoustics matter as much as cooling.

How to install Middle Atlantic Fan Kit, 190 CFM, Rear Doors, 220V
- Prepare the enclosure: Confirm compatibility with WRK, MRK, or ERK series rear doors. Ensure the area behind the rear door is clear and that the enclosure is powered down and de-energized during installation.
- Remove laser knockouts and access points: If not already removed, carefully eliminate the laser-cut knockouts for rear-door airflow paths per the enclosure’s installation guidelines to accommodate the fan kit.
- Mount the fan kit to the rear door: Align the kit’s mounting points with the door’s existing hardware. Use the provided screws, brackets, and hardware to secure the unit firmly to the rear door, ensuring there is no contact with internal components or wiring.
- Connect power safely: Connect the kit to a 220V power source following the product’s wiring diagram. Use proper strain relief and secure cable routing to prevent movement or wear over time.
- Install optional vent and filter configurations: If you plan to enhance cooling or filtration, attach the appropriate vent and/or filter kits in accordance with the enclosure’s guidelines. This step helps tailor airflow paths and filtration to your specific environment.
- Test and verify: Power up the enclosure and verify that the fan operates smoothly. Check for proper airflow, confirm there are no abnormal noises, and ensure mounting hardware remains secure after initial operation. If temperature sensors are present, monitor readings to confirm effective cooling alignment with ambient conditions.
