APC by Schneider Electric ACECFR40200SE EcoBreeze 40-Foot Cooling Frame
Overview
The ACECFR40200SE is APC by Schneider Electric's EcoBreeze 40-foot (12,192 mm) modular cooling frame designed for large-scale data center and enterprise infrastructure deployments. Running on 480V/3-phase/60Hz power, this unit targets facilities where row-level or hall-level cooling at significant physical scale is the requirement — not a standard rack enclosure or supplemental unit. At a footprint of 2,438 mm wide by 12,192 mm deep by 3,048 mm tall, specifying and siting this frame demands early coordination with facilities and structural teams before any other procurement decision is made. If you are evaluating APC by Schneider Electric infrastructure solutions, this model sits at the top of the EcoBreeze product family in terms of physical scale.
Key Features
- 40-Foot (12,192 mm) Frame Depth: The 12-meter depth accommodates full-length row cooling runs in large enterprise or colocation data halls — eliminates the need to chain shorter frames and reduces potential air-bypass points between units.
- 480V / 3-Phase / 60Hz Input: Three-phase 480V supply is standard in North American commercial and industrial facilities. If your site runs single-phase or 208V distribution, this unit is not the correct selection — electrical infrastructure compatibility must be confirmed before ordering.
- EcoBreeze Platform Compatibility: The ACECFR40200SE is part of the EcoBreeze ecosystem, meaning it pairs with APC's EcoBreeze fan wall and control components. This matters for procurement: the frame alone is not a complete cooling solution — EcoBreeze fan and control modules are required to complete the assembly.
- LED Indicators: Onboard LED status indicators provide local visual feedback on unit state, reducing the need to access a management console for basic operational checks during commissioning or troubleshooting.
- Grey Powder-Coat Finish: Standard grey finish matches typical data center and industrial environments. Useful for environments with strict equipment color-coding or aesthetic standards.
- Large-Scale Physical Footprint: At 2,438 mm (96 in) wide and 3,048 mm (120 in / 10 ft) tall, floor reinforcement, door clearance, and ceiling height all need verification before specifying this unit. This is a facilities conversation, not just a purchasing one.
Integration and Compatibility
The ACECFR40200SE is confirmed compatible with the EcoBreeze platform. Integration with APC's data center cooling management systems and EcoStruxure architecture is consistent with APC's platform approach, though specific controller compatibility should be confirmed with APC's pre-sales engineering team for your installation. For data center projects where power and cooling infrastructure are being specified together, align procurement of the frame with EcoBreeze fan modules and any required bussing or control components to avoid staged delivery delays on a project of this physical scale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power supply does the ACECFR40200SE require?
A: The ACECFR40200SE requires 480V / 3-phase / 60Hz AC power. Confirm your facility's electrical distribution matches this spec before ordering — it is not compatible with single-phase or 208V inputs.
Q: Is the ACECFR40200SE a complete cooling unit or just the frame?
A: It is the structural frame component of the EcoBreeze system. EcoBreeze fan wall modules and controls are required separately to make the assembly functional.
Q: What are the physical dimensions of the ACECFR40200SE?
A: Width: 2,438 mm (approx. 96 inches); Depth: 12,192 mm (40 feet / 12 meters); Height: 3,048 mm (10 feet). Verify floor load capacity and door clearances before delivery.
Q: What other EcoBreeze components does the ACECFR40200SE work with?
A: The frame is confirmed compatible with the EcoBreeze platform. Specific fan wall and control module pairings should be confirmed with APC engineering for your project configuration.
Q: Is the ACECFR40200SE available for immediate shipment?
A: This is a large-scale infrastructure component typically available on a project or lead-time basis. Contact the sales team for current availability and lead time before planning your installation schedule.
The ACECFR40200SE is not a product you spec casually. At 12,192 mm (40 feet) of frame depth and a 3,048 mm installed height, this EcoBreeze frame is built for purpose-designed data halls — not retrofit cooling additions. Every project I have seen involving a unit at this scale starts with a facilities review, not a product review, and that is exactly the right sequence.
Technical Highlights:
- 480V / 3-Phase Input: Three-phase 480V is the correct electrical infrastructure for this scale of cooling deployment — it reduces current draw compared to single-phase equivalent, which matters when you are pulling significant amperage across a hall.
- 40-Foot (12m) Frame: A single 12-meter run eliminates the air-bypass joints you would otherwise accumulate by chaining multiple shorter units — relevant when you are trying to maintain containment integrity across a long row.
- EcoBreeze Platform: The frame integrates with APC's EcoBreeze fan and control ecosystem, which supports centralized monitoring — a practical requirement for any deployment where the cooling infrastructure spans this kind of physical footprint.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 2,438 mm wide and 3,048 mm tall, confirm ceiling height, structural floor loading, and loading dock / door clearances well before delivery is scheduled — this is not a last-mile logistics problem you want to discover on installation day.
- The ACECFR40200SE is the frame only. EcoBreeze fan wall modules and control components are separate line items — budget and lead-time planning must account for the full assembly, not just the frame.
This unit is the right call for greenfield enterprise data hall builds or major colo expansions where row-level cooling at 40-foot scale is part of the mechanical design from day one — not a product to retrofit into an existing facility without a full structural and electrical review.
