Airedale by Modine has launched the 2MW TurboChill DCS, the next generation in its range of Turbocor compressor chillers for colocation and hyperscale data centres.
TurboChill DCS will be manufactured in both the UK and US and Airedale says it is designed to meet the most ambitious efficiency, performance, and sustainability objectives. It is optimised for higher ambient temperatures of up to 55°C/131°F, with low GWP refrigerant R1234ze (GWP 1.37).
Turbocor oil-free centrifugal compressors deliver high efficiency across full and part load, and the modular ‘V’ frame coil arrangement has been further optimised with the application of Airedale’s Enhanced Free Cooling technology, using larger diameter fans for reduced energy consumption.
An improved water system delivers increased opportunity for free cooling, with the on-board variable speed pump enabling variable primary flow rate control, reducing energy consumption. The enclosed glycol loop separates the glycol from the indoor systems, offering protection from freezing weather conditions whilst ensuring the continued performance of indoor units. Featuring an ultra-low-lift operation, for when waterside free cooling isn’t the right option, the compressors ensure low power consumption in decreasing ambient temperatures. It also delivers lower sound levels for environmental comfort.
Patrick Cotton, Product Management Director for Airedale by Modine said: “TurboChill DCS is the latest innovation resulting from 20 years’ of Turbocor compressor experience, combined with 50 plus years data centre expertise, to deliver a sustainable, high capacity chiller for colocation and hyperscale data centres.
“The market has seen an increased demand for emerging digital technologies, and TurboChill DCS has been developed for easy integration into air or hybrid cooling systems.”
