Airedale by Modine™ Introduces TurboChill™ 3+MW

In a significant leap for cooling technology, Airedale by Modine™ has introduced the TurboChill™ 3+MW, designed specifically for the robust demands of AI data centers that require advanced cooling solutions. This innovative chiller is the latest enhancement to the TurboChill™ series, and it showcases cutting-edge air-cooled chiller heat rejection capabilities, ideal for high-density GPU-centered environments.

Meeting the Growing Demands of AI Workloads

As AI technology advances and workloads grow more intense, data centers must adapt their cooling strategies to ensure optimal performance. The TurboChill™ 3+MW is tailored to efficiently manage fluctuating water temperatures commonly found in modern facilities. It maximizes opportunities for free cooling, particularly in favorable geographic conditions, while ensuring precise thermal control necessary for sensitive GPU operations.

Despite some speculation about the obsolescence of chillers due to newer chip designs capable of operating at higher temperatures, the demand for reliable thermal management solutions remains critical. Art Laszlo, Group Vice President of Global Data Centers at Modine, asserts, "Our customers seek robust cooling solutions to safeguard their investments against the potential risks associated with high-performance conditions."

The Necessity of a Hybrid Approach

In addressing the rising challenges posed by AI and high-performance computing, Airedale embraces a hybrid approach to cooling. The TurboChill™ 3+MW is designed specifically to handle several operational scenarios, including:

• - Varying Cooling Needs: Many data centers are not fully converted to high-density racks that operate efficiently at elevated temperatures. This necessitates a combination of cooling strategies to ensure all operational components are adequately serviced.
• - Environmental Variables: Extreme heat waves and local air recirculation can disrupt systems reliant solely on high-temperature liquid cooling. To counteract these issues, mechanical cooling is essential to maintain system integrity during peak heat loads.
• - Operational Reliability: With the global demand for improved data center efficiency, organizations face increasing scrutiny regarding energy usage effectiveness (WUE) and power usage effectiveness (PUE). The TurboChill™ system minimizes these metrics while providing reliable cooling that safeguards against thermal shutdowns.

Unmatched Benefits of the TurboChill™ 3+MW

The TurboChill™ 3+MW delivers exceptional features:

• - Advanced Free-Cooling Technology: This system utilizes ambient conditions effectively, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling wherever possible, which translates to lower energy consumption overall.
• - Wide Operational Range: It can comfortably operate with diverse inlet fluid temperatures, accommodating varying configurations within data centers.
• - Proven Reliability: Leveraging decades of experience, Modine confirms that air-cooled chiller technology is robust enough to handle contemporary cooling demands across the globe.
