Schneider Electric Drives Data Centre Sustainability with Uniflair Cooling Innovation
Modular and packaged design accelerates site deployment and simplifies installation
Cooling efficiencies reduce annual energy use and TCO
Low GWP refrigerants help data centres meet efficiency regulations
London, April 26th 2022 – Schneider Electric, the leader in digital transformation of energy management and automation, today announced its new range of Uniflair™ Chillers with inverter screw compressors for large data centres, which provide the efficiency, precision, and configurability to adapt to current and future data centre cooling challenges.
The air-cooled and free cooling extra-large chillers provide increased cooling capacity and lower power consumption for high energy efficiency in all environmental conditions. Uniflair Chillers with screw compressors are within the first solutions to leverage low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants.
“The latest Uniflair Chiller air cooler is designed end-to-end with sustainability in mind and provides enterprises with outstanding energy efficiencies and reliability, even in challenging conditions. With the use of green refrigerants, combined with decreased power consumption, this offering emphasizes Schneider’s dedication to purposeful innovation and sustainability while empowering customers with forward-looking adaptability.” said Pankaj Pathak, Director Cooling, Secure Power, Schneider Electric.
Data centre cooling innovation advances sustainability and resiliency missions
Schneider’s latest 300-2200kW Uniflair Chillers introduce major improvements to high efficiency and reliable cooling for data centre applications and enhance the current platform with new sizes and configurations. The chillers:
- Offer modular configuration and are packaged to simplify and accelerate site deployment and design.
- Integrate a free-cooling system that leverages outdoor air to provide cooling, minimising energy consumption without impacting unit size.
- Minimise annual energy usage, improving TCO.
- Achieve +2MW with high water temperature, increasing unit cooling capacity in a reduced footprint.
