10/27/2025As emerging technologies such as 5G and cloud computing develop and are applied, user demands have grown exponentially, leading to a sharp rise in the number of data centers. Looking at the trend of servers or communication equipment used in data centers, their size is becoming smaller and their quantity is increasing. With the rise in heat dissipation, power consumption has also gone up. Cooling in data centers is essential to ensuring the reliable operation of critical IT equipment, and achieving efficient and energy-saving cooling is a top priority.
In-Row Air Conditioners in Data Centers
To achieve efficient cooling of equipment and avoid local overheating, cold air must enter the interior of the equipment to dissipate heat. As horizontal air supply units, precision in-row air conditioners are specially developed and designed for cooling between rows in communication rooms.
In-row air conditioners—also called in-rack air conditioners or in-rack cooling units—are precision cooling systems tailored for high heat density racks. They are placed directly between server rack rows, close to heat sources for direct heat dissipation. One of their most important advantages is cooling near heat sources; when combined with hot and cold aisle design, they further optimize the indoor air flow, reduce the overall PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) of the data center, improve cooling efficiency, and lower operating costs.
Performance Requirements for In-Row Air Conditioners in Data Centers
Precise Temperature Control: It provides accurate temperature regulation to ensure that servers and network equipment in the data center operate at a suitable temperature, preventing performance degradation or malfunctions caused by overheating.
Energy Efficiency Optimization: It adjusts cooling capacity based on the heat load in the data center to achieve variable air volume control, avoiding unnecessary energy waste and further reducing the operating costs of the data center.
Compact Design & Easy Maintenance: With a compact structure, it occupies less space, allowing more area to be used for placing servers and other IT equipment. It also facilitates daily maintenance and management.
Remote Monitoring: It monitors real-time temperature, humidity, and other environmental parameters in the data center to ensure the stability of the data center environment.
However, with the arrival of the information age, the amount of data handled by data centers has increased dramatically. The demand for cooling capacity in data rooms has also grown, requiring higher cooling capacity per in-row air conditioner unit. Based on high-performance EC (Electronically Commutated) motor technology, the AxiEco 200 was developed. Specifically designed for in-row air conditioner applications in data centers that require high back pressure, it features a more compact structure and higher energy efficiency, bringing superior cooling performance to data centers.
Five Advantages of AxiEco 200 for In-Row Air Conditioners
Efficient Heat Dissipation: The AxiEco 200 boasts unparalleled compactness, equipped with a high-performance EC motor. Its opening design integrates with the casing for heat dissipation, and an aluminum flange helps conduct more heat out, enhancing cooling effects.
Air Performance & Efficiency: Compared with the previous generation of products, the efficiency of a single fan is increased by 7%, making the overall system efficiency of the unit higher. This results in better cooling effects in the data center and more significant energy-saving outcomes. Noise is reduced by up to 6 dBA, greatly improving the comfort of the data center environment.
Intelligent Control: It uses FanCheck to determine remaining service life, provides humidity protection, supports speed control (PWM or analog), and offers output signals (speed signals, alarm signals), thereby improving operational reliability and service life.
Hassle-Free Startup: Thanks to its high-torque motor and advanced control electronics, the AxiEco 200 ensures trouble-free startup. This enables efficient and quick system maintenance, including fan replacement while the system is in operation.
Multiple International Certifications: The fan not only meets the technical and safety specifications and standards for precision air conditioners in the domestic market but also complies with European and American standards—such as UL, CE, VDE, and CCC certifications. Additionally, it delivers energy-saving effects that far exceed the ErP standard.
Efficiency, energy savings, and heat dissipation are key goals for data center development. As the core key for in-row air conditioners, the AxiEco 200, with its compact design and outstanding performance, easily addresses the high-efficiency heat dissipation challenges of data centers. Beyond data centers, the AxiEco 200 can also be used in communications, mobile applications, smart homes, industry, and indoor agriculture.
