inrowkylare

Inrowkylare are cooling units designed for data centers, installed between rows of server racks to remove heat where it is generated. They form part of in-row cooling systems that deliver cooling air directly to the front of IT equipment, helping to manage hot and cold air in a row-based layout.

These units can be self-contained or modular and may use direct expansion refrigerant circuits or chilled-water coils. They typically draw cooled air from the cold aisle between rack rows, discharge it into the same aisle, and return warmed air to the room or through a dedicated return path. Some designs use liquid cooling, with heat removed by a closed-loop system connected to a building chiller.

Benefits of inrowkylare include more targeted cooling at the pallet level, reduced mixing of hot and cold air, and the potential for higher rack densities. They often improve overall energy efficiency when used with proper aisle containment, since less fan power is required from room-based air handlers and chillers can be optimized for the load closest to the IT equipment. They are commonly deployed in single-row or double-row configurations to match room geometry and load distribution.

Configurations and integration: inrowkylare come in air-cooled or water-cooled variants and are compatible with containment solutions, such as hot and cold aisle containment, to maximize efficiency. They are typically managed alongside other data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools for monitoring, control, and redundancy planning.

Considerations when implementing include correct sizing to heat load, redundancy (N+1), maintenance access, noise, and compatibility with existing cooling plants and power distribution.
