Energy management vendor Schneider Electric has added to its range of cooling systems with a new version of its InRow product line, the InRow RC.
The second generation introduces two models that are said to use less power and offer more capacity than previous models.
The high temperature model is designed for optimal heat removal, which it achieves by operating at warmer water temperatures and outdoor ambient air temperatures. This helps improve the range of time over which it can run, which in turn makes the units more effective and efficient.
“With the second generation of the InRow RC, we have taken another step in the evolution of our cooling offerings,” Schneider Electric’s business development manager Lubos Vaclavek said.
The extra efficiency, he said, will drive down operating costs.
InRow RC is part of the Schneider Electric InfraStruxure suite. It was created for high density applications and cuts the distance between heat source and heat removal. By doing this, it prevents the mixture of hot and cold air streams, which makes overall cooling more predictable.
Another feature, variable speed fans, cuts energy consumption in off-peak cooling periods or when the data center is partially loaded. This lowers data center energy consumption to match the demands of its heat load.
A new interface will help make uses less prone to error, according to Schneider, which unveiled what it claims will be an intuitive 4.3in colour touch screen display.
