DATA CENTRE MANAGEMENT
Taking cooling performance to the next level
The ApX Series of computer room air handling units (CRAH) from LENNOX EMEA are aimed at high-performance data centre applications. This new range is engineered to provide enhanced cooling capabilities, efficiency and reliability for hyperscale and co-location facilities, which handle large volumes of data and require effective temperature management.
The ApX Series offers a cooling
Platform designed for scalability and flexibility
With the aim of simplifying and standardising operations within data centres, VERTIV has launched a control platform which integrates visibility, management, and reporting for critical power and thermal infrastructure, facilitating improved system performance. Designed for scalability and flexibility, Vertiv Unify enables users to monitor and manage their digital infrastructure from various devices, allowing for decentralised access.
The platform addresses challenges
faced by operators of hyperscale data centres, particularly in maintaining
efficiency amid increasing demands. By providing real-time visibility and advanced analytics, it supports better decision-making for facility and data centre managers. The system features plug-and-play functionality, which simplifies deployment, and offers a licensing model that accommodates unlimited clients and devices. Vertiv Unify has been developed to
reduce complexity in infrastructure management by allowing seamless integration across systems. It also includes features for simplified energy usage reporting, enhancing the ability to track performance at both global and site-specific levels. The launch is supported by Vertiv’s comprehensive customer service and lifecycle support, ensuring ongoing assistance for users. ▄

High efficiency uninterruptible power supply system
SOCOMEC has introduced the Delphys XM, an advanced uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. Designed to meet the needs of modern data centres and critical infrastructures, this system offers a power range from 300 to 800 kVA/kW. The Delphys XM features a high power density, claiming to deliver 1 MW of power in a footprint of just 1 square metre, which is a 50% reduction compared to typical UPS models. This compact design aims to optimise operational space, addressing the increasing demand for power in constrained environments. The UPS achieves up to 99% efficiency
in Smart Conversion mode and 97.1% in online double conversion mode. This efficiency not only lowers operational costs but also reduces energy consumption and cooling requirements, contributing to lower carbon emissions. In addition to its power efficiency, the
Delphys XM is designed for ease of use and maintenance. It includes a 10-inch human-machine interface (HMI) touchscreen for straightforward monitoring, along with LED indicators for quick status checks. The system supports real-time remote troubleshooting and fault analysis, allowing operators to respond to issues promptly. The modular architecture of the Delphys XM features hot-swappable

capacity range from 20 to 500kW and can be configured in both single and back-to-back layouts. Its modular design allows for integration into various data centre setups, including both raised and hard floor configurations. The design incorporates advanced controls and modern components, ensuring adaptability to specific cooling needs. Lennox has emphasised a more engineering-focused approach, allowing for customisation of internal components such as fans and heat exchangers based on the unique requirements of each facility. This flexibility enables a tailored solution rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Energy efficiency is a key focus, with innovations in the heat exchanger design aimed at optimising performance through careful
consideration of coil geometry and materials. “The new CRAH-ApX Series further
strengthens our commitment to delivering market-leading cooling solutions that support the operational demands of hyperscale and co-location data centres. It is the first in a programme of products designed specifically for next-generation facilities,” says CEO Matt Evans. ▄

Air-cooled magnetic bearing chiller This flexibility allows for adaptable cooling systems suitable for a range of technologies. Key features include zero on-site water
Responding to the increasing demands of the data centre sector, JOHNSON CONTROLS has introduced the York YVAM air-cooled magnetic bearing chiller to the European market. This launch coincides with the rapid growth of data centres driven by advancements in artificial intelligence and cloud computing. The YVAM chiller is designed to enhance thermal management in hyperscale and co-location facilities, ensuring compliance with new European Union regulations on energy efficiency and water conservation. The chiller is said to consume 40% less
100kW power modules, enhancing uptime and reliability. Socomec also offers service packages
for ongoing support, ensuring that the UPS meets the resilience demands of critical applications. ▄
