Trane Thermal Management System Innovations Set New Cooling Standards for the Data Center Industry
Enhanced air-cooled chillers bring larger capacity and higher ambient temperature cooling capabilities to mission critical operations, further expanding Trane's thermal management systems capabilities. DAVIDSON, NC / / March 31, 2025 / Trane® - by Trane Technologies (NYSE:TT), a global climate innovator, is revolutionizing mission critical operations with the development of two new air-cooled chiller offerings - Magnetic Bearing chillers and Ascend chillers for facility chilled water cooling applications. Trane's Magnetic Bearing Chiller provides unparalleled cooling capacity to address the escalating capacity needs of data center thermal management systems. Introduction of the Ascend™ chiller platform for data centers provides even greater efficiency for high ambient temperature operations. "Next-gen microprocessors are expected to exponentially increase rack density, elevating demand for efficient, higher capacity and higher ambient air-cooled chillers," said Steve Obstein, Vice President and General Manager, Data Centers & High-Tech, Trane Technologies. "Building on our leading platforms, in close collaboration with our customers, gives us the ability to redefine the standards of cooling efficiency, capacity, and environmental sustainability for data center owners and operators, helping them stay ahead of rapidly advancing thermal management needs." Magnetic Bearing Chiller Helps Maximize Cooling Capacity with a Reduced Footprint The new air-cooled chiller, based on Trane's proven Magnetic Bearing compressor platform, produces up to 850 tons, 3MW at data center conditions on a single unit frame. The new chiller helps maximize cooling capacity per square foot of unit footprint, often allowing for a reduction in the number of chillers needed onsite and helping to enable lower installation costs. Replacing multiple chillers with a single larger capacity chiller can help reduce sound transmission to the local environment, helping reduce the impact in sound sensitive locations. Trane AscendChiller Enables Higher Ambient Temperature Operations Through the extended capabilities of the Ascend screw-compressor chiller platform, Trane is leading with solutions that meet customer needs to address escalating ambient temperatures from greater heat density generated by modern GPUs and AI adoption. Expansion of the Trane AscendAir-Cooled Chiller with integrated indirect free cooling, supports data center uptime with efficient operation at up to 145F. Free cooling reduces reliance on mechanical cooling, and helps reduce energy consumption and operational costs. Designed for Higher Efficiency and Serviceability The new air-cooled chillers use refrigerants with lower global warming potential, supporting reduced energy costs and carbon footprints. Both chillers are equipped with Trane's Symbio® 800 unit controller with AdaptiView™ user interface, offering secure enhanced connectivity, flexibility, and serviceability. Trane supports operations and uptime throughout the lifecycle of the data center with thousands of local service experts across North America, strategically located in proximity to customers, and Smart Service options for proactive monitoring, predictive maintenance, and improved thermal management systems. # # # About Trane Trane - by Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator - creates comfortable, energy efficient indoor environments through a broad portfolio of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and controls, services, parts and supply.

Trane Enhances Mission Critical Thermal Management Systems Capabilities With Innovative, New Fan Coil Wall Platform
DAVIDSON, N.C., March 20, 2025 /3BL/ - Trane® – by Trane Technologies (NYSE: TT), a global climate innovator, is strengthening its thermal management system capabilities for data center environments through the new Trane® Fan Coil Wall platform featuring innovations designed and developed through close collaboration with data center owners and operators. Trane engineers leveraged decades of precision climate control expertise to deliver a platform that offers standard and custom models designed for performance, efficiency, and seamless systems integration. 'The new Trane Fan Coil Wall reflects our close relationships with our customers, serving as a trusted advisor and comprehensive thermal management systems provider,' said Steve Obstein, Vice President and General Manager, Data Centers & High-Tech, Trane Technologies. 'From ideation to co-innovation, working alongside our customers gives us key insights for designing, developing and manufacturing specific solutions to help them stay ahead of the dynamic data center environment.' Trane maintains proximity throughout the ownership lifecycle through Smart Services, offering advanced monitoring, predictive maintenance, and performance optimization. Leading service capabilities give data centers access to proactive solutions designed to protect the uptime of their thermal management systems, backed by Trane's network of highly trained service experts strategically positioned close to customers. Delivering proven, mission-critical performance: Data center owners require reliable performance and redundancy, as cooling is critical to business continuity. The Trane Fan Coil Wall is designed specifically for data center cooling, not repurposed from other applications. It integrates seamlessly with Trane thermal management systems and universal systems to deliver precise cooling and help maintain optimal conditions in AI-driven computing environments. The units circulate conditioned air using chilled water from the chiller, which removes heat through a closed-loop system, often enhanced by energy-efficient cooling towers. Together, these Trane solutions offer exceptional energy efficiency, scalability, precise environmental control and lower operational costs. Made to order with dedicated production capacity: Trane Fan Coil Wall units are manufactured at a U.S. Trane production facility, with dedicated production capacity for the data center industry to provide design flexibility to support unique specifications and design revisions. The data center-specific production capacity helps secure product availability and delivery of time-sensitive product needs to help maintain mission critical data center uptime and meet growing demand for cooling solutions driven by AI and 5G computing. Energy efficiency for reduced costs and carbon emissions: The Fan Coil Wall's lower-power fan array reduces energy consumption, enhancing power usage effectiveness (PUE), helping to lower operational costs, and reduce carbon emissions. A factory-installed Symbio® 500 controller enhances energy and system performance for reliable and efficient operations. This commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability aligns with the growing emphasis on reducing the environmental impact of data centers.
