Critical cooling specialist Airedale by Modine says a new AI-enhanced version of its Cooling System Optimiser represents a tangible advancement in cooling and efficiency for high-density data centres.

Cooling AI is said to delivers real-time adaptability, predictive intelligence and significant energy savings in response to global data centre industry demand for high-performance, high-efficiency controls systems.

Airedale says Cooling AI can reduce energy consumption by up to 40%, improving power usage effectiveness (PUE) and driving sustainability gains. Chiller and fan performance is synchronised within the control system, improving cooling efficiency and reducing energy use. Furthermore, the reduction in mechanical stress as a result of reduced compressor cycling can extend the equipment life cycle, as well as lower maintenance costs.

Reece Thomas, Controls General Manager at Airedale, said: "As AI-driven computing accelerates, the demand for smarter, scalable and highly efficient cooling infrastructure has never been higher, and it isn't set to stop any time soon.

"Power densities rise and sustainability expectations will continue to increase, and data centres need cooling solutions that can evolve with them. By embedding AI directly into the control architecture, we are delivering more than just efficiency gains. We are enabling a future where cooling adapts in real time, anticipates challenges before they arise, and continuously improves over time."

Cooling AI is available as a new system or retrofitted to an existing Airedale by Modine Cooling System Optimiser.
