Trane’s new tech for data centre cooling

Just released to market worldwide, including Australia, the new models within Trane’s Sintesis eXcellent GVAF air-cooled chiller platform have capacities reaching up to 2.5MW and operational scope for cooling in temperatures of up to 54°C ambient.

The company says this enables large industrial users and data centres to achieve high efficiency design, greater potential for free cooling and higher performance at a smaller footprint.

All models in the GVAF range are also optimised for ultra‑low‑GWP R1234ze refrigerant, with optional CORE condensers available to further increase heat‑rejection effectiveness, capacity per square metre and full‑load performance.

Lauri Salmia, Applied Portfolio Manager at Trane says data centres rely on systems that deliver certainty of uptime, efficiency and long-term performance. Operators are also dealing with tighter energy constraints, increasing rack densities and higher ambient temperatures.

“The Trane GVAF platform has been proven across hundreds of data centres and other mission‑critical applications. Its robustness and efficiency improvements present strong retrofit opportunities with short payback periods,” Salma says.
