For high heat generation racks of 25kW or more, a modular rack with cooling is recommended due to its ability to effectively manage and dissipate heat generated by high-density equipment. These racks are designed with integrated cooling options that can accommodate the substantial thermal loads associated with such powerful systems. Modular racks often incorporate features such as optimized airflow patterns, additional fans or cooling technologies, and the flexibility for further cooling enhancements as needed. This ensures that the equipment remains within operational temperature limits, reducing the risk of overheating and potential system failures. In contrast, other rack types like standard mesh racks or open-frame racks may not provide adequate heat management for such intense thermal outputs. While racks with additional devices might offer some level of improvement, they typically do not match the specialized design and efficiency of a modular rack specifically tailored for high heat loads.
