The Rise of Propane in Modern HVAC Heat Pump Systems
In a world that demands more sustainable and energy-efficient solutions, it is becoming increasingly obvious that the decarbonisation of buildings in the UK has a key part to play when it comes to achieving the target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As an industry, HVAC is constantly looking to adopt the latest technologies to meet these demands and in the innovative world of critical cooling solutions the spotlight is beginning to focus on Propane (R290). The use of propane in modern heat pump systems presents an exciting new opportunity in the HVAC industry, and in this article …
Is Immersion Cooling the Answer to AI’s Growing Energy Challenges?
Grocers’ Hall approached Airedale via their specialist contractor and FM teams, UIMS (Universal Installation and Maintenance Services Ltd) and KCE FM, to replace an existing, failing chiller and overcome several challenges in doing so. …
Data Center Neighborhood Survey Report
When it comes to new data centers, most Americans say ‘Welcome to the neighborhood.’ A new Airedale by Modine survey reveals we are open to data centers in our communities – if developers prioritize sustainability and local engagement. As data centers continue to expand to meet the growing demands of our digital world, public perception of these critical facilities is shifting. Unlike other large-scale infrastructure projects that often face community resistance – like power plants, cell towers, and manufacturing plants – data centers enjoy broad acceptance, even in residential areas. In fact, a significant portion of respondents in our recent …

Understanding Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) for Liquid Cooling Efficiency
As data centers evolve to meet increasing demands, especially with the rise of high-density computing, liquid cooling has emerged as a critical solution. Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) are pivotal in managing liquid cooling systems, ensuring data centers operate efficiently and safely. Airedale’s Coolant Distribution Units provide effective thermal management by precisely controlling the delivery and return of coolant to the IT racks. These units are vital components in secondary cooling loops, which isolate the critical IT infrastructure from the facility’s primary water supply. By using CDUs, data centers can mitigate the risk of leaks and maintain optimal temperatures, all while …
Have filters in Data Centers become surplus to requirements?
Our calculations suggest a possible 14% increase in energy expenditure when comparing a like-for-like set up of cooling equipment inside a data center, where the only differential is the inclusion of internal filters on the fan walls. Paul Golding, Product Manager – CRAC CRAH Fanwall, ponders the question: why do some data center operators still specify filters inside their fan walls? It is no secret that data center servers kick out huge amounts of heat that have to be controlled to prevent operation failure. So critical is cooling within the data center industry that millions of dollars are invested …
After Adiabatics: How can Data Centres Respond to the Climate Crisis?
With great power comes responsibility. A recent report suggests that by 2025, data centres will consume one-fifth of all the electricity in the world. …
