Description

APC by Schneider Electric ACRD200 InRow RD Air Cooling System

The APC by Schneider Electric ACRD200 InRow RD Air Cooling System is a high-efficiency, row-based cooling solution designed to transform data center reliability and energy use. Engineered to sit directly in the rack row, this 300 mm InRow RD cooling unit places cooling power as close as possible to the heat load, minimizing air mixing, reducing hot spots, and delivering a predictable cooling architecture. By bringing the cooling source closer to the server inlet, it helps data centers maintain consistent inlet temperatures, boost server performance, and improve overall PUE. Designed for modern high-density racks and scalable deployments, the ACRD200 combines precise thermal control with intelligent monitoring to protect critical IT equipment while simplifying infrastructure management.

  • Close-coupled InRow RD cooling: The 300 mm footprint positions the cooling unit in the row to directly target heat sources, delivering faster response to load changes and minimizing duct losses.
  • Fluid-air cooling technology: A hybrid approach combines the benefits of liquid cooling efficiency with air-based cooling to maximize heat removal while maintaining reliability and simplicity of operation.
  • Active inlet temperature management: Built-in sensors continuously monitor server inlet temperatures and automatically adjust cooling capacity to keep IT equipment within optimal ranges, reducing thermal throttling and improving performance.
  • Intelligent controls and DCIM readiness: The system integrates with existing data center management tools, supports SNMP, and provides actionable data for capacity planning, trend analysis, and proactive maintenance.
  • Space-efficient, scalable design: Optimized for dense racks and data centers seeking to maximize floor space without sacrificing cooling capability; suitable for both new installations and retrofits in existing rows.
