    Network Manageable InRow(TM) Cooling Unit Offers Energy Efficiency Through Use of Variable Speed Fans, Capacity Modulation, and Form Factor

    WEST KINGSTON, R.I., Nov. 6 -- American Power Conversion (NASDAQ:APCC) (APC), a global leader in power availability solutions, today announced its InfraStruXure® InRow(TM) 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.
