This solution, introduced by APC (American Power Conversion), not only provides the necessary cooling levels for safe operation of machinery but also accurately predicts when and where heat needs to be removed right from the source.
Additionally, APC has introduced a new cooling system for VoIP — previously, heat load was managed by telephone companies, but now it is concentrated within the information technology network.
All these systems feature APC’s innovative InRow cooling architecture, including rack-based cooling units, power distribution systems, advanced management features, optional security capabilities, and a compact, efficient design that is highly applicable to all manufacturers of information technology equipment.
APC’s complete cooling solution includes: InfraStruXure InRow RC, the InfraStruXure Cold Distribution Unit (CDU), and the Rack Air Containment System (RACS).
InfraStruXure InRow RC is a modular cooling solution installed alongside the information technology equipment racks, suitable for everything from small computer rooms to massive data centers. This unit can provide cooling capacities of up to 60 kW. The operation of InRow RC achieves maximum efficiency by capturing heat right from the source, thus reducing cooling costs, ensuring that information technology equipment operates as designed, and improving operational efficiency.
The InfraStruXure Cold Distribution Unit (CDU) is a chilled water supply system designed specifically for the InRow RC unit. This system enhances cooling capabilities and ensures stable cooling through flexible, non-coupling piping systems, significantly reducing risk.
The Rack Air Containment System (RACS) consists of a containment module designed to provide pre-defined cooling for moderate, high, and extreme thermal loads within information technology equipment. RACS operates alongside NetShelter SX racks and the InRow RC cooling unit to deliver maximum cooling performance. RACS is mounted to the back of one or more NetShelter SX racks and the InRow RC unit, ensuring that the air expelled from the information technology equipment is forced through the cooling unit. This prevents hot air from recirculating back to the information technology equipment.
