The acquisition marks the third for ACS, demonstrating the company's aggressive pursuit of opportunities to address the unique HVAC needs of mission-critical applications.
While most data centers use air-cooled chillers that have free cooling coils to benefit from lower ambient conditions, air-cooled, magnetic bearing centrifugal chillers can operate at inverted conditions and provide free cooling without the need for additional coils.
"The design of the chilled water cooling system within a data center is a critical part of its infrastructure," says author Patrick Cotton, Global Chiller Product Manager at Airedale.
Johnson Controls announced the launch of the York YVAM air-cooled magnetic-bearing centrifugal chiller operating with the low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant, R-1234ze, for hyperscale and colocation data center cooling.
Software packages, like PipeFlo, 6Sigma CFD, and CAESAR II, can support engineering design and help engineers design an efficient, effective, and safe cooling system.
Move expands the Daikin portfolio of high-efficiency equipment and services for data center cooling, and other mission-critical and custom applications.
