Precision Cooling: Beat the Heat

Ensuring the proper environment for IT systems is essential to maintaining high availability.  Regardless of application, IT equipment produces heat that can be damaging to both uptime and longevity of your investment.

Altruent's cooling solutions by APC are tailored to meet the needs of your environments, from wiring closets and computer rooms to data centers of all sizes.  Scalable solutions, including air distribution/fans, portables, and precision cooling systems, are available to provide the right solution to meet the unique cooling requirements your environment demands.

• InfraStruXure InRow RC  (chilled water only)
• • 
    
  • Range: up to 30kW
  • In-Row precision air conditioning for medium to large data centers and high density applications
  • Draws power from UPS for cooling protection with dual feeds for redundancy
  • Hot-swappable fans allow unit to remain operational if a fan replacement is required
  • Modular design provides scalable solutions to add cooling as demand increases
  • Variable speed fans reduce energy consumption during off-peak cooling periods
  • Rack inlet control guarantees inlet temperature to IT equipment

• InfraStruXure InRow RP
• • Range: up to 70kW
  • In-Row precision air conditioning for medium to large data centers including high density applications
  • Predictable Cooling - 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.
  • Scalable Densities - The in-row architecture cools densities of 1-5kW per racks.  Densities up to 20kW per rack can be achieved by implementing the Hot-aisle containment system.
  • Increased Capacity - Warmer entering air temperatures result in increased cooling capacity, required fewer cooling units than traditional cooling methodologies.
  • Network Interface - Provides management via web browser by connecting the device directly to the network.
  • Front Service Access - Full service, front access for routine servicing of components

Data center cooling has become increasingly unpredictable due to the use of blade servers and other high-density equipment.  APC promotes in-row cooling, where the cooling unit is moved closer to the source of heat generation, and containing the hot-aisles of the data centers to address this challenge.
