Vertiv has announced the introduction of high-capacity models of its Liebert AFC inverter screw chiller range with low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant R1234ze. Available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the new models provide up to 2.2MW of cooling capacity in a single frame.
The new models are high-density, outdoor free cooling chillers that provide what is claimed to be the industry’s highest capacity in a single frame.
"As the demand for AI and HPC deployments grows, customers are increasingly seeking solutions that provide higher cooling capacity within a compact footprint," said George Hannah, Senior Global Director for Chilled Water Systems at Vertiv. "Our latest Liebert AFC low-GWP chillers reach up to 2.2MW, in form factor that significantly reduces the time, cost, and complexity of deploying these systems. This solution supports our commitment to environmental responsibility and compliance with the latest regulatory standards and aligns with our objectives to continue our industry-leading expertise in air and liquid cooling applications."
Vertiv says Liebert AFC offers up to 20% lower annual energy consumption compared to fixed screw solutions. The inverter-driven compressor allows for the reduction of energy consumption and, in particular, the electrical power required during peaks, which in turn allows more power availability for the IT equipment.
