 New milestone in the data
Server rack density is permanently increasing with advanced technology and computing power requirements. In the
Technical same time, data centers are not expanding at the same progression as their computing power and this lead to signifi-
cant load density growth that will continue into the foreseeable future. Today’s data centers require an effective high
density cooling system in order to function while allowing for growth, and Lambda In-Row is an answer.

1 EC-Fans
New radial fans with unique blade geometry developed by
Ziehl-Abegg offers more airflow by smaller size and wide
efficiency range. In combination with EC-motors, these fans
provide unbeatable energy efficiency.

2 Controls
The control hub of Lambda In-Row is a sophisticated
microprocessor with control logic specially developed for 1
row-based cooling units. The customer can manage and
optimise the unit’s performance either locally or remotely.
Users can deploy various control strategies based on either
continuous temperature control, or on-demand airflow
control (optional), or continuous pressure control by 2
maintaining a pressure differential between the cold and
hot aisles (optional).

3 Fluid circuit
Fluid circuit equipped with smart balancing system based
on continuous pressure drop measurements on return and
bypass lines. Depending on these measurements, the unit
control system adjusts two-way valves and maintains
necessary cooling media flow thru the cooling coils, thus
avoiding manual fluid circuit balancing.
Lambda’s automatic balancing system fits ideally for
variable-flow chilled water systems.

Fliud circuit with 3-way regulating valve for constant flow
chilled water systems available as an option.

 center cooling architecture

highlights
The conventional approach to data center cooling using room-based cooling has practical limitations in high density
data centers. Row-based cooling strategy make it possible to address high operating densities while maintaining
redundancy characteristics. For users with high density server technologies, Lambda In-Row cooling solution will
provide the excellent balance of high predictability, high power density, adaptability, and the best overall TCO.

4 Heat exchangers
The heart of Lambda In-Row cooling units is microchannel
heat exchangers combined in V-form.
Unique geometry of ultra low pressure manifolds allows
balanced cooling media distribution within the coils, while
large heat-exchanging surface in combination with high-ef-
ficient fins enable low airside pressure drop, resulting in
extraordinary heat exchanger performance.

5 Air filtration
Ultra-thin G2 grade air filters have been engineered for
high-velocity applications and deliver excellent air quality
and extremely low air resistance throughout the life of the
filter. The filter panels feature fibers which do not absorb
moisture and will not support microbial growth.

5 6 Enclosure
Lambda In-Row housed in standard 1200mm depth
enclosure and can be easily inserted into the rack row to
transmit the airflows across the front of the server racks
located on both sides of cooling unit to provide even cooling
over the height of the server racks.
The internal construction is designed to allow easy mainte-
nance with quick access to any component.
The unit enclosure allow bottom or top (optional) fluid
connections and cable entry.
