In today’s digitally reliant world, edge data centers are essential for meeting the demands of high connectivity, low latencies, and efficient data processing near the end-user. At Airedale by Modine, we recognize the critical role of cooling in the edge market, aligning our business to serve key sectors effectively.
With over 50 years of experience in providing intelligent cooling solutions worldwide – from single computer rooms to hyperscale facilities – our Edge Business Unit offers a comprehensive product portfolio, intelligent controls, and deep application expertise tailored for edge data centers.
Airedale by Modine’s cooling philosophy is built upon free cooling systems, with indoor and outdoor equipment matched and system parameters optimised to deliver uptime and redundancy at the lowest possible energy outlay.
Our expertise extends to supplying systems based on multiple smaller chilled water loops, where a single chiller pairs with 1-3 CRAC/CRAH units. As edge data centers scale, our solutions can adapt to larger designs, resembling colocation data centers, using a single large chilled water loop. Our vast experience enables us to provide tailored products and control systems for optimal performance in edge data centers.
Key Features of Our Approach:
- CW Setpoint Rescheduling for Efficiency Improvement: We intelligently reschedule chilled water setpoints to enhance overall system efficiency, optimizing cooling resource allocation based on dynamic data center demands.
- Variable Flow Management for Maximized Economization/Free Cooling: Our variable flow management maximizes free cooling opportunities when ambient conditions permit. This reduces energy consumption and minimizes pump power requirements, enhancing energy efficiency.
- Chiller Staging for Maximum Efficiency: Using sophisticated chiller staging techniques, we ensure chillers operate at their peak efficiency, resulting in significant energy savings without compromizing cooling performance.
