Airedale through ModineTM responds to the growing demand for intelligent systems capable of handling increasingly complex chilled water systems.
Airedale, through ModineTM, the critical refrigeration specialist, has introduced Cooling System OptimizerTM in the United States, a reaction to industry demand for durable, robust and safe refrigeration systems.
First introduced in Europe in 2022 and capable of handling chilled water circuits of up to 20 MW and above, demand for the Optimizer has increased as data centers adopt larger, more complex cooling systems.
The Optimizer is a smart layer that sits between products in chillers and CHRCs and under the site’s Building Management System (BMS). It is programmed to unify indoor and outdoor cooling apparatus to proactively manage the three most vital elements of any mid-level cooling system of knowledge. : resilience, redundancy and power consumption.
Leveraging the benefits of number one ring chilled water cooling systems and being compatible with number one/secondary systems, the Optimizer is designed to handle dynamic variable flow systems to consistently meet critical SLAs, with the lowest energy input imaginable.
Equipment due to power supply problems, network storms, and communications losses are the scourge of many knowledge centers. The Cooling System Optimizer has been developed with this in mind, with the built-in ability to manage appliances well in a much faster and more efficient way than a popular BMS. Located in the popular PLC controllers shown, it is highly redundant and compatible with external ICT security networks.
In a recent factory acceptance test for a global knowledge center provider, the Optimizer was simulated on a 10 MW circuit comprising 7 coolers and 24 fan walls, using the customer’s own safety network. The consumer was challenged to “break” the formula in the same way as on live sites. Despite their determined efforts, they failed to alter the formula’s physically powerful ability.
The delivery of the Optimizer systems in the United States will be controlled through a new committed team founded at the North American Knowledge Center headquarters in Rockbridge, Virginia.
The U. S. team The U. S. will work with products to deliver software solutions to data center providers.
These responses will cover all facets of construction management, remote monitoring and predictive maintenance.
Reece Thomas, chief controls officer at Airedale, said: “The US is a huge market for us and we are seeing growing demand for smarter software.
“Airedale systems manage over two hundred MW of knowledge centers across Europe and this will only grow with the Optimizer proving incredibly popular in giant knowledge centers with variable speed cooling systems.
“The Optimizer has been incredibly successful across the industry as many operators struggle to manage complex refrigeration systems with commercially available BMS solutions. They are relieved to find a robust and proven solution, compatible with end users’ ICT security systems, that keeps cooling systems operational while reducing energy bills.
