Trane launches data center CRAH unit

Units to support up to 300kW


HVAC firm Trane Technologies has launched a new data center air cooling unit.


The company recently announced the expansion of its thermal management system portfolio for data centers with a new Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) offering.


The cooling unit helps maintain optimal air circulation and temperature levels for servers and other electronic equipment. It can support 50kW to 300kW to support varied density zones.


“We take a customer-centric approach to innovation, design, and services to create precise, custom solutions for unique operating needs and conditions," said Steve Obstein, VP and GM, data centers, Trane Technologies. “Expansion of our airside offer gives our colo and hyperscale customers greater flexibility for configuring custom systems and addresses the growing trend toward a single-source solutions provider.”


Equipped with the Symbio controller, Trane’s CRAH solution offers a broad capacity range and customizable options to help meet the specific needs of data centers.


Trane previously invested in liquid cooling provider LiquidStack in March 2023. It previously acquired Italian chiller manufacturer MTA in 2023.


Train launched a 1MW coolant distribution unit earlier this year. It also offers a fan wall for data centers as well as chillers.


Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC) units use direct expansion cooling with refrigerant to remove heat from data centers, while CRAH units use chilled water from an external chiller.
