The second generation of Schneider Electric’s InRow RC product line has reduced power consumption while increasing both efficiency and capacity to meet the ever evolving cooling needs of the modern data centre environment.
There are two new models, ACRC301S and ACRC301H, with the latter, high temperature one designed for optimal heat removal and leverages warmer water temperatures and outdoor ambient air temperatures to increase chiller efficiency.
“With the second generation of the InRow RC, we have taken another step in the evolution of our cooling offerings,” said Lubos Vaclavek, business development manager, Schneider Electric. “This product provides superior efficiency to help customers drive down ever-increasing operating costs.”
The new models are part of the company’s InfraStruxure suite, designed for high density applications. According to Schneider, InRow RC reduces the distance between the heat source and heat removal, eliminating the mixture of hot and cold air streams, therefore improving overall cooling predictability. It also features variable speed fans that reduce energy consumption during off-peak cooling periods or when the data centre is partially loaded, thus decreasing data centre energy consumption to match the demand of the heat load, significantly impacting the overall operating costs of the data centre.
The InRow RC models sport a 110mm colour touch screen display, with an increased cooling capacity, up to 40 kW (136,000 BTUH) and 1510 lps (3200 CFM) max airflow with conditions at 7.2°C (45°F) EWT, 49°C (120°F) RAT, 6.6°C (12°F) dT for the ACRC301S (Standard Temp). Up to 60 kW (205,000 BTUH) and 1982 lps (4200 CFM) max airflow with conditions at 12.8°C (55°F) EWT, 49°C (120°F) RAT, 6.6°C (12°F) dT for the ACRC301H (High Temp).
Efficiency is improved too, with 1.0 kW at maximum operating condition for ACRC301S (Standard Temp) and 1.9 kW at maximum operating condition for the ACRC301H (High Temp).
Other features include a condensate management system and intelligent controls that monitor and actively adjust cooling capacity. The InRow RC is compatible with EcoAisle and Active Flow Controller.
