Overview

Introduction

The APC AFX series precision air-conditioning system provides compact,

 

quiet, efficient, and reliable system solutions in the expanding precision air-

 

conditioning market. The AFX series is offered in a wide variety of

 

capacities, configurations, and air patterns within an extremely compact

 

cabinet size.

 

Precision environmental control requirements now reach far beyond the

 

confines of the traditional data center or computer room to encompass a

 

larger suite of applications, referred to as technology rooms.

 

Typical technology room applications included:

 

Computer rooms

 

Telecommunication facilities

 

Clean rooms

 

Power equipment

 

Medical equipment rooms

 

Archives

 

LAN environments

 

A worldwide network of APC representatives is fully qualified to provide

 

engineering, sales, installation and service for our products.

 

Our commitment to quality is demonstrated by the APC industry-leading

 

two-year parts warranty.

Capacity

Available are 6 through 28 nominal tons (20 kW–96 kW) in nine models and

 

3 cabinet designs.

Air pattern

Downflow units discharge air into the raised floor plenum eliminating the

 

need for air distributing ductwork. This enables the owner to locate the unit

 

where space is available or relocate the unit as the room changes or expands.

 

These units are suitable for areas with raised floors greater than 12" (305

 

mm) high. Air is drawn in through the top of the unit. Downflow units also

 

include a static regain duct which increases performance and efficiency while

 

reducing noise level.

 

Upflow units discharge air into either a plenum or ductwork. These units are

 

suitable for areas with raised floors less than 12" (300 mm) high. Air is drawn

 

in through the front on the standard design or optionally from the rear of the

 

unit.

 

Control

The microprocessor controller provides advanced integrated system

 

operation and management ensuring simple, reliable and precise temperature

 

and humidity control.

AFX Series specifications

The American Power Conversion (APC) AFX Series is a groundbreaking line of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) designed to meet the demands of modern businesses. APC, a subsidiary of Schneider Electric, is known for its reliable power management solutions that ensure the availability of critical equipment. The AFX Series stands out for its advanced features, cutting-edge technologies, and robust characteristics that cater to a diverse range of applications.

One of the standout features of the AFX Series is its flexible architecture. The series offers modular scalability, allowing users to expand power capacity as needed. This modular design is particularly beneficial for growing businesses that require a power solution that can adapt to changing demands without the need for a complete replacement. The AFX units boast a compact footprint, making them suitable for deployment in server rooms, data centers, or environments with space constraints.

Another significant characteristic of the AFX Series is its high efficiency. The UPS units are designed to operate at a remarkable efficiency level, often exceeding 95%, which translates into reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs. This efficiency not only benefits the environment but also enhances the overall reliability of power delivery.

In terms of technology, the AFX Series leverages advanced lithium-ion battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries have a longer lifespan and faster charge times compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. This innovation ensures that uptime is maximized, while maintenance efforts are minimized, allowing IT personnel to focus on more critical tasks.

The AFX Series is also equipped with intelligent monitoring and management features. Users can take advantage of real-time data and analytics through an intuitive web interface, providing insights into power performance and battery health. This capability aids in proactive maintenance, ensuring potential issues are addressed before they lead to downtime.

Furthermore, the AFX Series supports a range of connectivity options, including SNMP, USB, and serial interfaces. These options enable seamless integration into existing management systems, allowing for centralized monitoring and control.

In summary, the American Power Conversion AFX Series is a powerful solution for organizations seeking reliability, efficiency, and scalability in their UPS systems. With its modular architecture, high operational efficiency, advanced lithium-ion technology, and user-friendly management capabilities, the AFX Series is an exemplary choice for businesses aiming to safeguard their critical infrastructure against power interruptions.
