Eaton In-Row Precision Cooling System - 25.8 kW (88,000 BTU), 3PH, 208V, 42U, 300mm

Maximize space without compromising cooling performance with Eaton’s In-Row Precision Cooling System. This Slim SmartRack® in-row cooling solution is purpose-built for small-to-medium data centers, IT rooms, and edge deployments where traditional CRAC or CRHC units simply don’t fit. By placing the cooling directly in the row, it delivers targeted, high-precision cooling exactly where equipment resides, reducing duct losses, lowering energy usage, and freeing valuable floor space for your critical IT infrastructure. Designed for reliability, ease of installation, and seamless integration with modern rack environments, this unit is an ideal choice for organizations that demand efficient cooling in compact footprints.

• Compact, space-saving design: The in-row footprint fits tight aisles and edge deployments, delivering essential cooling without expanding your floor plan. By positioning cooling adjacent to the equipment, you minimize airflow losses and optimize warm-aisle containment, enabling cleaner rack layouts and more room for expansion. This streamlined form factor is particularly valuable in data centers where every square foot counts and where hot aisle/cold aisle efficiency directly influences overall performance.
• High-precision cooling for consistent performance: With targeted airflow management and sensor-driven controls, this SmartRack in-row system maintains stable temperatures at the rack face. Advanced monitoring ensures rapid reaction to load changes, reducing the risk of thermal hotspots and protecting sensitive servers, storage, and networking gear. The result is reliable uptime, improved equipment longevity, and predictable performance even as power densities rise in your facility.
• Energy-efficient operation to lower costs: Designed for efficiency at partial and full load, the unit employs optimized fan control and intelligent cooling strategies to minimize energy consumption. In-row cooling reduces duct losses and can contribute to a lower PUE, delivering meaningful savings over the lifecycle of your IT assets. Quiet, efficient operation also helps maintain a comfortable data-center environment for staff and visitors.
• SmartRack integration and easy maintenance: Built to align with standard SmartRack configurations, this system integrates smoothly into existing rack ecosystems. The modular design supports straightforward maintenance and component replacement, while centralized monitoring capabilities allow facility teams to view temperature, airflow, and status indicators from a single console. Quick-start commissioning minimizes downtime during deployment.
• Flexible power and compact footprint: Operating on 208V, 3-phase input, this unit aligns with common data-center electrical infrastructure. Its 300 mm depth supports a range of rack layouts, helping fit deployed rows without sacrificing access to cables or serviceability. The flexible footprint makes it suitable for edge locations, where space is at a premium and performance cannot be compromised.

How to Install Eaton In-Row Precision Cooling System

• Plan the installation to optimize hot aisle/cold aisle separation and ensure unimpeded access for maintenance, cabling, and airflow intake/exhaust paths.
• Position the unit within the rack row so that intake and exhaust clearances meet manufacturer specifications and airflow requirements; align with existing SmartRack components for a seamless fit.
• Connect to power: supply 208V, 3-phase power according to local electrical codes and the device’s wiring diagram; verify grounding and circuit protection as part of the installation checklist.
• Configure controls and sensors: set temperature setpoints, enable smart monitoring, and integrate with facility or DCIM systems to track airflow, temperature, and alarms in real time.
• Commission and test: verify airflow performance across the rack, confirm stable temperature readings at load, and validate alarm and redundancy features; establish a preventive maintenance cadence to ensure long-term reliability.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What environments is this in-row cooling system best suited for?

A: It is ideal for small-to-medium data centers, IT rooms, and edge locations where traditional CRAC units are too large. The compact 42U, 300 mm-depth design provides effective primary cooling directly at the equipment, optimizing space and efficiency.

Q: What electrical requirements are necessary?

A: The system operates on 208V, 3-phase power. Always follow local electrical codes and the manufacturer’s wiring diagrams when installing or servicing the unit.

Q: How does in-row cooling benefit overall data-center efficiency?

A: By placing cooling close to the IT equipment, in-row cooling minimizes duct losses and reduces the need for long, energy-intensive air paths. This results in improved cooling efficiency, lower energy consumption, and better control of intake temperatures at the rack level.

Q: Is professional installation recommended?

A: Yes. While the unit is designed for straightforward rack integration, professional installation ensures correct electrical connections, proper airflow clearance, and proper integration with monitoring systems to maximize uptime and performance.
