Vent Blocker Kit for DRK Series
Magnetized thermal management kit for DRK series enclosures, designed to prevent hot air recirculation and optimize exhaust fan performance
The Middle Atlantic VBK-DRK is a specialized vent blocker kit designed specifically for use with the DRK series enclosures. This kit serves a critical role in active thermal management by preventing cooling air "short circuits." By placing these magnetized blockers over enclosure vents located on the upper front, sides, or the upper rear door, installers ensure that heated air is forced out through the top-mounted exhaust fans rather than recirculating within the cabinet. These kits are sized for immediate installation without the need for trimming. This TAA compliant solution is an essential accessory for maintaining stable equipment temperatures in enclosed environments.
