New Delhi, April 2014 - Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, has introduced second generation of InRow RC as latest addition to the InRow product line, expanding its vast cooling portfolio to meet the evolving cooling needs of data centre environment. This means two new models that significantly improve cooling efficiency by reducing power consumption while also increasing capacity. The high temperature model, designed for optimal heat removal, leverages warmer water temperatures and outdoor ambient air temperatures to increase chiller efficiency, thus maximizing the hours of economization.

"With the second generation of the InRow RC, we have taken another step in the evolution of our cooling offerings," said Mr Nikhil Pathak, Vice President, IT Business, India & Saarc, Schneider Electric. "This product provides superior efficiency to help customers drive down ever-increasing operating costs."

Part of the Schneider Electric InfraStruxure suite of solutions and created for high density applications, InRow RC reduces the distance between the heat source and heat removal, eliminating the mixture of hot and cold air streams, therefore improving overall cooling predictability. The solution also features variable speed fans that reduce energy consumption during off-peak cooling periods or when the data centre is partially loaded. This decreases data centre energy consumption to match the demand of the heat load, significantly impacting the overall operating costs of the data centre.

As a global specialist in energy management with operations in more than 100 countries, Schneider Electric offers integrated solutions across multiple market segments, including leadership positions in utilities & infrastructure, industries & machines manufacturers, non-residential buildings, data centres & networks and in residential.
