Schneider Electric
announced the launch of
ChillRack, the new air
conditioned IT server cabinet
from APW President at the
recently-held Acrex, India,
2012.The ChillRack facilitates
the installation and fault-free
maintenance of sensitive
electronic equipment even in
harsh environments where dust,
dirt and varying heat levels are
common-as in factories, retail
outlets, remote offices,
warehouses and work spaces in
arid locations. This innovative product
is used in areas where room air
temperature is not adequate for peak IT
electronic equipment efficiency.
ChillRack is a self-contained
server cabinet that works on a
closed loop cooling system.
With the AC unit built into the
rack itself, precise delivery of
inlet air and immediate capture
of warm return air keeps the
electronic equipment at optimal
temperature.
Also displayed at ACREX
were two other innovative
datacentre solutions - the
LiquiCool Rear Door Heat
Exchangers (RDHx), and COOL
WAY, a cold aisle solution.
LiquiCool is a water-cooled door that
mounts on the back of server cabinets
and cools computer equipment exhaust
air before it re-enters the Datacentre
operating environment.
LiquiCoolRDHx solutions can lower
Datacentre total cost of ownership by as
much as 50 per cent, a statement by
Schneider noted. COOL WAY guides
the cooled air from the air-conditioning
inlet tiles on the raised floor into a sealed
cold aisle between the server racks.
