Product Description

PRODUCTS : UPS Network manageable cooling unit offers energy efficiency for server rooms By Paul O'Shea Power Management DesignLine (11/10/2006 0:55 PM EST) American Power Conversion (APC), a global provider of power availability solutions, announces its InfraStruXure InRow SC cooling unit that provides predictable air conditioning for wiring closets and server rooms. This 12-inch wide (half-rack) self-contained cooling solution is capable of providing up to 7kW of cooling capacity, allowing IT professionals to place the unit right next to the heat load to deliver predictable, agile heat removal. The unit's localized heat removal reduces energy costs by removing heat at the source that would otherwise require greater fan horsepower over longer distances of ductwork. The InRow SC's plug and play design allows for rapid installation without the need for running refrigerant lines, providing remote heat exchangers, or contracted mechanical services. Wiring closets and computer rooms have traditionally used building air conditioning to satisfy the cooling requirement in those environments. Higher power densities in networking switches, servers and other IT equipment have increased heat requirements well beyond the building air conditioning system. "The new InRow SC provides our customers with a dedicated cooling solution that meets the challenging heat removal requirements of wiring closets and server rooms," said Bud Collins, general manager of APC's Cooling Solutions group. "These small rooms and wiring closets are heating up due to advances in server-based telephony, such as voice-over-IP and power-over-Ethernet. The InRow SC maximizes agility and availability in server rooms and wiring closets while minimizing total cost of ownership."
