Foreword
This final draft ETSI Standard (ES) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Environmental Engineering (EE),
and is now submitted for the ETSI standards Membership Approval Procedure.
Introduction
Outdoor enclosure suppliers are trying to overcome their thermal issues in different solutions being developed. When
different equipments and outdoor enclosures from various suppliers are integrated, they can have a detrimental effect on
each other. The present document specifies the thermal management requirements for outdoor enclosures (defined in
EN 301 169-1 [i.4] and EN 301 169-2 [i.5]) to prevent outdoor enclosures having a detrimental thermal influence on
equipments inside.

1 Scope
The present document describes the thermal management requirements for outdoor enclosures defined in
EN 301 169-1 [i.4] and EN 301 169-2 [i.5]. These thermal management requirements to be defined include:
• a standardized definition of cooling capacity for outdoor enclosures;
• a maximum acceptable delta T between ambient temperature and inside temperature;
• the preferable rule for air flow inside outdoor enclosures;
• the environment class for equipment to be installed in outdoor enclosures.
Not all these requirement are applicable to outdoor enclosures defined in EN 301 169-1 [i.4] and EN 301 169-2 [i.5];
maximum acceptable delta T for equipment in line with EN 301 169-1 [i.4] should be considered as a guide to
developer.
The purpose of the present document is to make it more easy to define the responsibility of equipment manufacturers,
cabinet manufacturers and integrators.
The present document applies for those empty outdoor enclosures supplied for housing telecommunication equipment
of wireline and wireless access network and other information technology equipment.
EMC, safety and acoustic noise requirements are not parts of this document. Guidance on these aspects are contained in
annex D.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
air conditioning: cooling technology where an operating refrigerator system is used for cooling the internal air of the
enclosure
ambient: spatial maximal temperature of the air entering the rack/cabinet
cabinet: free-standing and self-supporting enclosure for housing electrical and/or electronics equipment, usually fitted
with doors and/or side panels which may or may not be removable
free cooling: cooling technology in which the external air is directly used for the inside heat removal; also called direct
free cooling
heat exchanger: cooling technology in which the inside heat removal is provided (actively with fans or passively
without fans) without directly use of outside air but using an exchange between two fluids (e.g. air to air or water to air)
integrator: end user/operator of telecommunication or IT equipment or their agent
NOTE: For example an equipment manufacturer could be an operator's agent.
micro-climate: conditions found within the rack/cabinet creating a local ambient for the subrack
outdoor enclosures: enclosure exposed for the outdoor environment, for stationary use at non-weatherprotected
locations, for the protection of electronic equipment installed inside against outdoor environmental conditions
(IEC 61969-3 [i.3]).

4 General requirements
4.1 Thermal performance of outdoor enclosures
The supplier of outdoor enclosures shall design the cabinet so that the product fulfils the outdoor environment as
detailed in EN 300 019-1-4 [1], class 4.1. And under this environment class, the cabinet can ensure the equipments
whose environment class is defined in clause 4.2 othe present document to work in appropriate micro-climate.
To enable the operators/integrators to predict the thermal performance of outdoor enclosures and to decide the
equipment configuration inside, The supplier of outdoor enclosures should provide the relevant thermal characteristics
detailed in annex A of the present document.
4.2 Environmental class requirements for equipment installed in
outdoor enclosures
Possible use of environmental class for equipment installed in outdoor enclosures is discussed in TR 101 576 [i.11].
The outdoor enclosure provides a weather protected environment for the inside equipment. For effective cooling, the
equipment inlet air temperature, using some cooling technologies, is higher than the outdoor air temperature.
In the following is considered that the outdoor enclosure is required to meet EN 300 019-1-4 [1], class 4.1 with
temperature range from -33 °C to +40 °C; in this case the climatic conditions for the equipment inside the outdoor
cabinet shall be those defined in the following clauses.
4.2.1 Free cooling cabinet
• Climatic conditions in line with Class 3.3 (see EN 300 019-1-3 [2]).
4.2.2 Heat exchanger cabinet
• Climatic conditions in line with Class 3.3 (see EN 300 019-1-3 [2]).
