GatesAir To Demonstrate Products At IBC2015

News Image
GatesAir will demonstrate its solid-state Flexiva™ radio and Maxiva™ TV and DAB Radio transmitters at IBC2015.

The Flexiva FLX design incorporates a heat-to-liquid transfer that removes heat from the RF plant without excessive air conditioning, helping broadcasters cut monthly utility costs and establish a greener plant. The transfer itself cools the air in the RF plant, moving transmitter heat to the outside via a liquid-to-air heat exchanger with redundant fan systems.

In addition to low total cost of ownership over the long term, GatesAir's high-efficiency PowerSmart® 3D transmitter architecture slims down the overall size and weight through a significant reduction in number of internal modules and power supplies. The exceptionally high power density significantly lowers operating costs for higher power, solid-state transmitters thanks to a much more energy efficient and compact design. Notably, the significantly fewer number of internal parts to manage also equates to minimal, single-engineer maintenance—a valuable benefit compared to tube transmitters.

To obtain maximum efficiency, the liquid-cooled design, in most installations, integrates low-noise pump modules within the transmitter to further reduce its already compact footprint. Two fully redundant cooling pumps operate in a closed-loop design, with auto-changeover capability in the event of a failure to ensure proper and constant transmitter cooling. The associated size and weight improvements are especially helpful for broadcasters who lease space in the RF plant by the square foot. For example, Flexiva FLX provides a foot print reduction of over 50%.
