Eaton In-Row Precision Cooling System - 12.8 kW (43,686 BTU/hr), 3PH, 208V, 42U, 300mm

The Eaton In-Row Precision Cooling System delivers targeted, high-efficiency cooling in a compact footprint designed for small-to-medium data centers, IT rooms, and edge locations. Engineered as a SmartRack® in-row solution, this unit sits between racks to remove heat directly at the source, reducing hot spots and improving overall cooling effectiveness while freeing valuable floor space for additional equipment. Ideal for environments where traditional CRAC or CRHC units are too bulky, this in-row design blends powerful performance with space-conserving dimensions, delivering precise cooling where you need it most.

• In-row, space-saving footprint (42U height, 300 mm depth) fits neatly within data center rows and tight edge deployments, maximizing rack density without sacrificing cooling capacity.
• Delivers dependable precision cooling with a capacity of 12.8 kW (43,686 BTU/hr), engineered to handle dense IT loads and keep critical equipment within its ideal operating range.
• Powered by standard data center electrical infrastructure—208V, 3-phase input—providing robust, reliable power delivery for modern server, storage, and networking gear.
• Designed for SmartRack integration, enabling streamlined deployment, centralized monitoring, and efficient management within existing rack ecosystems.
• Targeted cooling for edge and small-to-medium data centers, reducing energy waste and improving airflow efficiency by delivering cooling directly to hot zones without overprovisioning.

• Commission and test: Start the unit, verify airflow paths, confirm setpoints align with IT load, and perform basic cooling tests to validate temperature differential across intake and exhaust.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is in-row precision cooling?

  A: In-row precision cooling places a dedicated cooling module directly within the data center row between racks. This approach delivers cooling where heat is generated, resulting in improved airflow efficiency, reduced hot spots, and often lower total energy consumption compared to traditional room-oriented cooling solutions.

• Q: What IT environments is the Eaton in-row system best suited for?

  A: It’s ideal for small-to-medium data centers, IT rooms, and edge locations where space is at a premium, rows are tight, and heat loads are dense enough to require high-precision cooling in a compact footprint.

• Q: What electrical requirements does this unit have?

  A: The unit operates on 208V, 3-phase power. Ensure your electrical infrastructure provides a suitable service and appropriate circuit protection in accordance with local electrical codes and the product manual.

• Q: How much cooling capacity does the system provide?

  A: The system delivers 12.8 kW of cooling capacity, equivalent to 43,686 BTU/hr, enough to manage heat load from dense IT equipment in compact IT spaces.

• Q: How does the 42U, 300 mm dimensions influence deployment?

  A: The 42U height and 300 mm depth enable the unit to be installed within standard data center rack rows, leaving space for cable management and ensuring efficient front-to-back airflow while maintaining a slim footprint.
