New InfraStruXure InRow RP Lowers Energy Costs by Varying Cooling Capacity
with Heat Load Requirements
WEST KINGSTON, R.I., Jan. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Power
Conversion (Nasdaq: APCC) (APC), a global leader in power, cooling and
management solutions, today announced the availability of InfraStruXure(R)
InRow(TM) RP, its new innovative cooling unit for data centers and small
computer rooms. The InfraStruXure InRow RP places cooling next to the heat
source, providing predictable, dynamic heat removal for medium, high and
ultra-high density deployments. The InRow RP is the latest in the suite of
InfraStruXure InRow cooling units that can support power densities of up to
70 kW per rack when used with hot air containment systems.

"APC's new InRow RP provides customers with predictable and high
density cooling to meet the changing demands and increasing power densities
in both data centers and server room environments," said Bud Collins,
general manager of APC's Cooling Systems group. "Increasing deployments of
blade servers and recurring IT refreshes are driving up power densities in
the data centers beyond the capabilities of traditional cooling systems.
This new product is specifically targeted to meet these requirements."
APC's InRow RP is available in both chilled water and refrigerant-based
designs, making it suitable for a wide range of environments. The
architecture eliminates the requirement for constant speed fans used in
traditional approaches, saving energy and maximizing power available for IT
deployments. This variable airflow capability lowers operating costs by
reducing energy consumption during partial load conditions. An integrated
humidifier provides room-level moisture control, preventing damage to
sensitive electronic equipment due to static electric discharge. Additional
moisture control is provided through a dedicated dehumidification cycle and
standard reheat coil to prevent overcooling during dehumidification.
APC's cooling design allows for the addition of hot aisle or rack air
containment, improving predictability and isolating rack deployments,
allowing high-density installations in data centers with traditional
cooling architectures. A patent-pending control algorithm enables real-time
capacity monitoring to facilitate planning of new IT deployments.
The InRow RP is an ideal cooling solution for small to large data
centers and is available in chilled water up to 70 kW or refrigerant-based
up to 37 kW. APC's InfraStruXure Designer tool for planning and designing
data centers now includes the InRow RP to allow APC's channel partners to
design layouts that include the new cooling unit. InfraStruXure Designer's
new three-dimensional view allows APC's channel partners to show a data
center from all angles and switch seamlessly between the floor, rack and 3D
view at any time in the process.
The InRow RP is currently available in North America, Europe, the
Middle East and Africa. It will be available in Asia Pacific at the end of
March. To learn more about the InRow RP and APC's other cooling solutions
