Critical Cooling Specialist releases High Capacity Turbocor® Chiller for Data Center Industry
A
iredale by Modine release TurboChillTM DCS to deliver improved cooling capacity in higher ambient temperatures for colocation
& hyperscale data centers. Leeds, UK, ( September 19, 2025), - Critical Cooling Specialist Airedale by ModineTM has today announced the 2MW TurboChillTM DCS, the next generation in their range of Turbocor® compressor chillers, redesigned from the ground up to meet the specific operational demands of colocation and hyperscale data centers. TurboChill DCS will be manufactured in the U.K. and the U.S. for global distribution. TurboChill DCS is the latest in Airedale’s DCS range
of data center specific chillers, designed to meet the most ambitious efficiency, performance, and sustainability objectives. It is optimized for higher ambient temperatures of up to 55°C/131°F, with low GWP refrigerant R1234ze (GWP 1.37). Turbocor® oil-free centrifugal compressors deliver outstanding efficiency across full and part load, and the modular ‘V’ frame coil arrangement has been further optimized with the application of Airedale’s Enhanced Free CoolingTM technology, using larger diameter fans for reduced energy consumption. An improved water system delivers increased opportunity for free cooling, with the on-board
variable speed pump enabling variable primary flow rate control, reducing energy consumption. The enclosed glycol loop separates the glycol from the indoor systems, offering protection from freezing weather conditions whilst ensuring the continued performance of indoor units. Featuring an ultra- low-lift operation, for when waterside free cooling isn’t the right option, the compressors ensure low power consumption in decreasing ambient temperatures. It also delivers lower sound levels for environmental comfort. Patrick Cotton, Product Management Director for Airedale by Modine said,
“TurboChill DCS is the latest innovation resulting from 20 years’ of Turbocor® compressor experience,
combined with 50 plus years data center expertise, to deliver a sustainable, high capacity chiller for colocation and hyperscale data centers. Patrick continued, “The market has seen an increased demand for emerging digital technologies, and TurboChill DCS has
been developed for easy integration into air or hybrid cooling systems.” As with all Airedale by Modine chillers, TurboChill DCS comes with the latest helix™ intelligent controls platform inbuilt and can be integrated into BMS and intelligent optimization cooling systems.

weatherite & condair – A cool partnership
W
hen Weatherite needed to develop an innovative cooling solution that didn’t rely on
man-made refrigerants, it turned to Condair’s adiabatic cooling expertise. The partnership resulted in Weatherite’s innovative AdTec-D direct cooling system, which is now a highly proven free air-cooling unit, used by leading telecoms and data centre clients. Andy Lewis, General Manager for Data
Centres at Weatherite, commented, “Incorporating Condair's adiabatic cooling into our AdTec-D unit has saved 80% of power per unit, compared to equivalent refrigerant-based systems. Condair’s flexibility and engineering helped us massively for adapting and producing products specific to the client's needs. This allowed us to innovate and really deliver what the client was after. “A key benefit of working with Condair
is their reliability and in not viewing them as merely a supplier, but as a partner, capable of supporting our product from
the design stages through to on-site commissioning. I would definitely recommend Condair because of the quality of product, the service that they offer, and also because of the innovation that they offer for this sector.” Andy concluded. Weatherite’s AdTec-D can offer 15-80kW of sensible cooling per unit, typically operates with an energy
efficiency ratio greater than 15, and is an ideal retrofit solution for DC or telecoms operations looking to take advantage of free-air cooling. It can operate in free-air cooling only mode when the outdoor conditions allow or utilise adiabatic cooling to boost performance when needed. Even on the UK’s hottest ever recorded day, the AdTec-D successfully maintained the required indoor conditions for a leading UK telecoms provider, without any additional compressor-driven cooling. Condair offers an extensive portfolio of humidification, dehumidification and evaporative cooling
systems, including evaporative media supply for free-air, hybrid or liquid cooling systems. It’s ability to provide customer specific solutions with advanced engineering support make it an ideal partner for any OEM or HVAC manufacturer looking to develop innovative cooling or humidity control systems.

Panasonic Delivers Sustainable Heat Pump Solution for Connect Housing Tenants
W
elwyn Garden City, September 2025 – Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions provided Connect Housing with a sustainable heating and domestic hot water (DHW) solution for their new development of 14 homes in Halifax.
Panasonic Aquarea J-Series air-to-water heat pumps were specified by installers, Air Distribution Ltd
and supplied by specialist Distributor Logicool, to provide highly energy-efficient heat pump technology, designed to keep residents warm whilst ensuring low running costs. The decision to specify Panasonic heat pumps over traditional gas boilers was driven by Connect Housing’s commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. With over 3,500 properties, the housing association is now regularly using Panasonic solutions across its developments in place of gas boilers in their new developments and to retrofit existing housing stock. Each home is equipped with smart controls linked to Panasonic’s Comfort Cloud app, allowing residents
to monitor and manage their energy usage remotely. A user guide was provided as part of the move-in package, allowing residents to navigate the system with ease and take hold of smart monitoring. Director of Home at Connect Housing, Martyn Broadest, commented, “Alongside enhanced thermal
performance of the building fabric, air-source heat pumps provide a reliable and cost-effective way for many of our customers to be warm and have plenty of hot water. Panasonic's longstanding track record in this technology, alongside the innovation offered in terms of remote monitoring of system performance, made them a good choice for Connect to partner with.” Residents have responded positively, especially noting lower energy bills compared to their
previous homes with older, less energy efficient gas boilers. One tenant described their new property as a “dream home”. The Panasonic Aquarea J Series
is available in a wide range of sizes from 5 to 16 kW and can be connected to the domestic hot water tank (DHW) for ease of installation. Delivering a high energy efficiency rating of A+++ Energy Class at 35ºC and A++ at 55ºC, plus a high SCOP capacity, the Panasonic system can work under higher pressure and reach a 60ºC water flow temperature for top class energy efficiency and lower running costs.
