The APC by Schneider Electric Direct Expansion InRow AC unit – ACRP101 was discontinued in 2016 and will be end of service life on March 31, 2026. Not only will factory service plan coverage no longer be available for these units, but spare parts inventory is expected to be mostly depleted by the end of this year.
The recommended replacement is the Schneider Electric UNIFLAIR ACRD601P InRow RD, 600mm Air Cooled, 460-480V, 60Hz, with humidifier. The ACRD601P has the same footprint as the ACRP101 so it will fit in the datacenter row without reconfiguring racks and other equipment. Similarly, in most cases, the piping runs to the outdoor unit can be re-used minimizing the installation time and expense.
Features and Benefits of the ACRD601P
- Variable speed fans reduce energy consumption during off-peak hours
- Intelligent control offers network manageability, real time capacity monitoring, predictive failure notification, and rack inlet temperature control
- Electric reheat controls temperature during dehumidification
- Top or bottom piping connections
- Remote probe guarantees inlet temperature to IT equipment
- Humidifier maintains moisture level
- Variable speed scroll compressor using VFD control
- Condensate management – factory installed pump removes water from the unit, ensuring continuous operation
- Casters allow for easy movement
Several older APC by Schneider Electric InRow units are scheduled for EOSL in the coming years. The UNIFLAIR Direct Expansion InRow cooling series comes in several different configurations. Complete specifications for the UNIFLAIR Direct Expansion InRow Cooling product line can be found here.
