Commercial and Industrial Applications
Server Rooms and IT Equipment Cooling
Server rooms, network closets, and telecommunications equipment generate heat during continuous operation.
The ClimaTemp CT-18EX can provide temporary or supplemental cooling for properly sized IT environments.
Typical applications include:
- Emergency cooling during HVAC failures
- Networking and communications closets
- Temporary cooling during server maintenance
- Supplemental cooling for heat-sensitive equipment
Because the CT-18EX is air-cooled, warm condenser air must be directed away from the conditioned space.
Appropriate exhaust routing, electrical service, cooling capacity, and condensate management should be confirmed before installation.

Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing equipment and industrial workstations can create concentrated heat loads.
The CT-18EX provides localized cooling for appropriate production areas, maintenance rooms, workshops, and warehouse workstations.
Its protective cabinet features and portable construction make it useful in facilities where equipment needs to be repositioned.
Offices and Commercial Buildings
Commercial offices, retail spaces, and institutional facilities may need additional cooling during peak summer temperatures or HVAC maintenance.
The CT-18EX provides supplemental cooling for suitable indoor applications without requiring the installation of a new permanent air conditioning system.
Temporary HVAC and Rental Applications
ClimaTemp designs the CT-18EX for commercial use and rental operations.
Potential applications include:
- Emergency air conditioning replacement
- Commercial building renovations
- Temporary cooling projects
- Equipment maintenance
- Seasonal supplemental cooling
- Industrial cooling rentals

Specifications are based on ClimaTemp’s current CT-18EX product information and are subject to change. Confirm amperage, plug configuration, dimensions, airflow, and condensate capacity against the current manufacturer specification sheet.
Electrical Requirements
The ClimaTemp CT-18EX is designed for 115V single-phase power.
The manufacturer currently lists 18 amps in its product description.
Before installation, customers should confirm the actual equipment current rating, plug type, minimum circuit requirements, and overcurrent protection from the manufacturer’s latest documentation.
The CT-18EX should not be assumed compatible with every standard 115V wall receptacle.
Condenser Exhaust and Ventilation
The ClimaTemp CT-18EX uses an air-cooled refrigeration system.
During cooling operation, heat removed from the conditioned area is discharged through the condenser-air stream.
That heated air must be directed away from the area receiving conditioned air.
Suitable exhaust arrangements may include manufacturer-approved flexible ducting or other compatible heat-rejection configurations.
Customers should verify the condenser exhaust connection size and maximum permitted duct length before ordering additional ducting accessories.
Condensate Management
The CT-18EX includes an internal condensate collection bucket with automatic full-tank shutoff.
When the condensate bucket reaches its limit, the unit stops operation and activates an audible alarm.
For longer cooling applications, ClimaTemp offers an optional Beckett-brand plug-and-play condensate pump.
The pump allows condensate to be routed to an appropriate drain instead of relying entirely on manual bucket emptying.
The condensate pump is optional and is not included as standard equipment unless specified in your quote.
Designed for Commercial Rentals
The CT-18EX includes several features that make it especially useful for equipment rental fleets and commercial service providers.
QuickMove Air Filters
The removable evaporator and condenser filters allow convenient access for inspection and cleaning.
This can simplify routine maintenance between cooling projects.
Locking Casters and Rear Kick Plate
Heavy-duty locking casters help operators move and position the unit.
The attachable rear kick plate is designed to assist with movement across thresholds and uneven transitions.
Protective Cabinet Design
ClimaTemp includes side bump guards to help protect the cabinet against dents and scratches.
These features are useful for equipment that is regularly transported, handled, and repositioned.
Optional Accessories
Beckett Plug-and-Play Condensate Pump
The optional condensate pump supports applications where automatic moisture removal is preferred.
Confirm the correct manufacturer-approved pump kit before ordering.
Condenser Exhaust Ducting
Compatible flexible ducting may be required to direct warm condenser air away from the cooled area.
Connection diameter, material rating, permitted length, and compatibility should be confirmed before purchasing.
