Airedale
Airedale by Modine has launched a coolant distribution unit (CDU), in response to increasing demand for high performance, high effi ciency liquid and hybrid (air & liquid) cooling solutions in the global data centre industry. The Airedale by Modine CDU will be manufactured in the US and Europe and is suitable for
both colocation and hyperscale data centre providers who are seeking to manage higher- density IT heat loads. The increasing data processing power of next-generation central processing units (CPUs) and graphics processing units (GPUs), developed to support complex IT applications like artifi cial intelligence, result in higher heat loads that are most effi ciently served by liquid cooling solutions. The CDU is the key component of any liquid cooling system, isolating facility water systems from the IT equipment and precisely distributing coolant fl uid to where it is needed in the server / rack. Delivering up to 1MW of cooling capacity based on ASHRAE W2 or W3 facility water temperatures, Airedale’s CDU off ers the same quality and high energy effi ciency associated with other Airedale by Modine cooling solutions. Developed with complete, intelligent cooling systems in mind, the CDU’s integrated controls communicate with the site building management system (BMS) and system controls, for optimal performance and reliability. The ability to network up to 8 CDUs makes it a fl exible and scalable solution, responsive to a wide range of high-density loads. Manufactured with the highest quality materials and components, with N+1 pump redundancy, the Airedale CDU is engineered to perform in the uptime- dependent world of the hyperscale and colocation global data centre markets.

Condair
Condair is launching an updated version of its most popular steam humidifi er, the Condair RS. As well as a new outer case design, the resistive steam humidifi er now incorporates the latest internet-connected technology that allows remote monitoring and troubleshooting by the manufacturer. A new touchscreen user interface on the Condair RS operates like a smartphone, in that users can navigate through clear icon-based menus with scroll, slide and press functionality. As well as intuitive control over operation, the controller off ers historic performance and settings reporting, service history, error reporting and an Excel- based download to USB function. Alongside these new features, the Condair RS still incorporates its unique scale management system that has made it so popular. A removeable tank sits underneath the boiling chamber, collecting the scale as it detaches from the heating elements during normal operation. In-house maintenance staff can routinely drain the system and empty the scale from this tank, without opening the main unit housing. This signifi cantly prolongs the periods between major service visits and prevents on-site drainage problems from chunks of scale being sent to drain. Other features include a ‘cold-water pool’ that prevents any blockages around the water inlet or drain outlet. The boiling chamber has a twin-wall design with the water inlet and drain outlet being situated in an area between these walls. The temperature of this area is kept low enough to prevent scale formation, thus eliminating any possibility of plumbing blockages due to limescale. The Condair RS range off ers comprehensive capacities with sizes to suit any project. Small single cylinder units start with a maximum output of 5kg/h, with double-cylinder models and master/slave confi gurations off ering up to 160kg/h. Steam humidifi cation can be delivered to a duct via a steam lance, as well as directly to a room with a top-mounted or remotely located blower pack.
