APC InRow DX Cooling Family

APC InRow DX Cooling Family

Up to 37kW per device

The InRow Direct Expansion product designs closely couples the cooling with the IT heat load. This design prevents hot air recirculation, while improving cooling predictability and allowing for a pay as you grow environment. Available in self-contained, fluid cooled, and air-cooled configurations with or without humidity control, these products meet the diverse requirements for closet, server room, and data center cooling. IT operators looking to improve efficiency or deploy higher density equipment will benefit from the modular design of the InRow Direct Expansion products. The intelligent controls of the InRow products actively adjust fan speed and refrigerant or chilled water flow to match the IT heat load to maximize efficiency and address the dynamic demands of today's IT environments.

Description

Features & Benefits

Availability

Rack Inlet Temperature Control: Reduces the risk of hot spots at the rack level

Predictable cooling via in-row integration: Placing the unit in the row of racks moves the source of cooling closer to the heat load This eliminates air mixing and provides a predictable cooling architecture

Active response controls: Monitors and actively adjusts cooling capacity to ensure proper server inlet temperatures Through the microprocessor controller, visibility into the operation and health of the unit is provided

Total Cost of Ownership 

Variable speed fans: Variable speed fans reduce energy consumption during off-peak cooling periods

In-Row architecture: Captures hot exhaust air directly from the IT equipment, thereby increasing the unit’s sensible cooling capacity over traditional cooling architectures

Agility

Modular design: Modular design provides scalable solutions to add cooling as demand increases

Scaleable densities: Allows for higher densities to be achieved by integrating containment with room, row and rack cooling system architectures

Serviceability

Easy service access: Allows for all serviceable components to be replaced/maintained by easily accessible panels/doors

Manageability

BMS integration: Send alarms and data points allowing you to manage critical building infrastructure from a single system

Real-Time Capacity Monitoring: Real-time display of current and available cooling

Microprocessor controller: Utilizes intelligent, active response control, and real-time monitoring. The system is controlled by a microprocessor providing high level control functionality and human interface via a four line, eighty character, alphanumeric display
