Lennox launches new business to support data centre industry
L
ennox is launching a new business to address the specifi c cooling challenges of the data centre industry. Lennox Data
Centre Solutions is a stand-alone business that will provide innovative, sustainable cooling solutions and services directly to the data centre market across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The global data centre market looks set to grow
at around 9.1% CAGR through to 2030. In Europe alone, market studies estimate the current data centre capacity at 12,23GW , expanding at a rate of 600-700 facilities a year. The heat generated by these new data centres will require effi cient and eff ective processing, be that through heat rejection, heat reuse or a combination of the two. Today’s demanding energy and performance standards require heat rejection products that off er precision, effi ciency and reliability. A natural extension of its existing expertise, Lennox Data Centre Solutions intends to bring their high level of product and service excellence to customers in the data centre market. “Our experience has led us to a position where we understand that data centre solutions, especially for cooling processes, are bespoke from project to project,” said Matt Evans, CEO of Lennox Data Centre Solutions. “Backed by renewed investment and focus, the business will lead with an engineering consultancy approach to the design of data centre heat-rejection solutions. We aim to treat every project on individual merit, working closely with customers to create the optimal solution based on our full end-to-end product suite.” Lennox Data Centre Solutions is off ering a full portfolio of cooling solutions for data centres. Adapting some products from the existing Lennox portfolio, others have been designed and manufactured from the ground up. The range
spans close control units (CCU’s), computer room air handler (CRAH) units, fan wall units (FWU), cooling distribution units (CDUs), chillers, and both adiabatic and conventional dry coolers. With the new business, Lennox can call upon a team of over 100 in-house technical engineers supporting product commissioning, service and maintenance across Europe alone. With the largest team of its type in the region, data centres can expect seamless integration, installation and support for their bespoke projects. Ultimately, the goal is to become the preferred partner for Enterprise, Colocation and Hyperscale data centre operators seeking effi cient, eff ective and
sustainable data centre cooling solutions. This ambition aligns with Lennox’s long-standing commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and effi ciency. Lennox Data Centre Solutions is backing its
expectations for rapid growth with an aggressive recruitment campaign that will further build the EMEA team over coming months. Alongside its direct support for data centres, the new business will also look to provide support through an exclusive partner network of consultants and system integrators.
Sheco Group acquires AFR Refrigeration A
FR Refrigeration, a long-established independent importer and wholesaler, has been sold to Midlands-based
Sheco Group. Rudy Reginiano, managing director of AFR,
said: “After 54 years since my father and I started the company, I have no intention of retiring completely, but it was important for me and my
loyal staff to ensure that the company would continue in my absence.” Pat Maughan, Sheco Group director, commented: “My connection with Rudy goes back over 40 years. We too are a family- owned group with roots in heating, automotive, and renewables, involving air conditioning and heat pumps for commercial and industrial use.
We see great synergy in bringing AFR on board to complete our involvement in all temperature environments. The AFR name, synonymous with quality products and unmatched customer service, will continue, and we hope soon to add further products to the existing portfolio.”
