Carrier has introduced what it describes as a comprehensive suite of purpose-built solutions designed to support the rapidly expanding data centre industry.
With the global data centre cooling market projected to reach $20billion by 2029, Carrier says it is positioning itself for growth by expanding its portfolio with the launch of QuantumLeap.
"Carrier QuantumLeap represents the next evolution in data centre thermal management, integrating our most advanced cooling, controls and service solutions to deliver a highly efficient, state-of-the art cooling system tailored to each customer’s needs,” said Christian Senu, Executive Director, Data Centres, Carrier.
"With AI-driven growth, our innovative solutions—such as the integration of direct-to-chip liquid cooling with traditional HVAC cooling systems optimised through intelligent controls platforms—allow data centres to maximise efficiency and reliability. AI will continue to strain power grids, increasing demand for intelligent, integrated thermal management solutions that Carrier is uniquely positioned to deliver.”
Carrier QuantumLeap is said to provide a fully integrated suite of solutions to manage the entire thermal lifecycle of data centres.
Chillers and air handling solutions: Carrier provides a range of next-generation chiller solutions, including screw and centrifugal compression systems with magnetic bearing technology, and custom air handling systems. Designed for seamless integration into the broader thermal ecosystem, these high-efficiency solutions are 30% more efficient than prior generations of products. They feature integrated free cooling, elevated chilled water temperatures and optimised energy use, ensuring consistent performance to meet the demands of AI-driven computing.
Liquid cooling: Carrier’s latest innovation, the Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU), enables integration into direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling systems for high-density environments.
Differentiated controls solutions: Carrier’s advanced Automated Logic building management system and digital platform serve as the intelligence hub of this interconnected ecosystem, empowering operators with unparalleled transparency and precision control.
Data centre infrastructure management: Carrier Nlyte's data centre management, optimisation and compliance reporting solutions are deployed in more than 300 data centres. These facilities, spanning enterprise, colocation and edge environments, are efficiently managing and optimising over one million racks and 10 million data points using Nlyte's innovative technology and delivering energy savings, cost reductions and improved resiliency.
Predictive maintenance and service: Carrier’s global service network, supported by a network of skilled technicians and factory-authorised spare parts, provides operational reliability and proactive issue resolution. In addition, Carrier’s digital platform, Abound, provides real-time insights, remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance capabilities – enabling data-driven, outcome-based results that minimise downtime, maximise uptime and enhance performance across the data centre ecosystem.
