The Schneider Electric Close Coupled Air Conditioner family of products includes InRow cooling, room cooling and room and rack air distribution. All share the benefits of close-coupled air conditioning including lower costs and increasing the life of heat sensitive equipment.
Close-coupled cooling brings heat transfer as close to the source of heat as possible. By moving the air conditioner closer to the equipment rack, or even putting it in the rack, it ensures a more immediate capture of exhaust air and that the cool air goes exactly where it is needed.
Because the cooling system and the equipment rack are close to one another in close-coupled solutions, the energy needed, and cost of that energy, is reduced. With an in-row typology the cooling unit is integrated in the row of racks and, providing air directly to the row, there are not impediments to consider under the floor. It is estimated, that when implemented, a close-coupled system can guarantee up to 95% of annual energy reduction compared to a traditional CRAC system of equal cooling capacity.
