Features & Benefits
Maximize Cooling Capacity with a Minimal Footprint
New 850 ton, 3MW chiller innovation to maximize cooling capacity per square foot of unit footprint, often allowing for a reduction in the number of chillers needed onsite, enabling lower installation costs.
Higher Ambient Operations
Operating multiple air-cooled chillers close to each other can cause some rejected heat to recirculate into the chiller’s condenser coils, raising the ambient temperature. Trane’s air-cooled chillers are designed to stay online and provide cooling during these short excursions to higher temperatures.
Enhanced Performance, Efficiency, and Reliability
Trane’s trim cooler provides precise temperature control and additional cooling capacity. Use in situations where the primary cooling system may not be sufficient, especially during peak load conditions or in areas with high heat loads.
Modular Cooling: Scalable 1MW-10MW CDU
Trane's Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) offers modular and scalable thermal management with up to 10MW capacity, ensuring efficient and reliable cooling for high-performance data centers.
If you need a water-cooled system, our CenTraVac chillers have been used in multiple data centers.

Design: Transitional Cooling
When it comes to providing mission-critical cooling, Trane offers a broad portfolio of solutions including liquid immersion, air-cooled and water-cooled systems. Because we can apply so many different strategies, we can help you craft a solution that’s right for your needs now and into the future—whether that’s traditional air-cooled, the latest-gen liquid immersion or a hybrid system. To increase cooling temporarily in your current data center, Trane Rental Services can be an immediate solution. Let our cooling experts deliver the reliability and efficiency your operations demand while we work together to determine the best long-term solution for your needs.
Emerging Technologies
Driven by AI, 5G and IoT technologies, the demand for data is soaring, and data centers are increasingly pressured to expand their capacity. At the same time, however, they must continue to pursue their sustainability objectives and meet their decarbonization goals. Adding to this complexity is a proposed SEC rule that would make ESG reporting mandatory, suggesting that data centers should prepare to disclose their carbon impact as part of their 10-K financial filings.³ Trane offers a consultative approach tailored to your unique situation. We can help you strike a balance between expansion and sustainability, ensuring that each step you make toward increased capacity is fueled by strategies for environmental responsibility.

Operate: Increasing Reliability
Leveraging decades of experience in building automation systems (BAS) and controls, Trane can seamlessly integrate your data center’s HVAC system with power management subsystems, ensuring holistic efficiency and reliability. Additionally, our Connected Mechanical Service Agreement enables proactive system monitoring and data-driven identification of potential issues and efficiency optimization opportunities.
Develop: Power Access
Getting access to energy in a low latency zone is a significant challenge for businesses looking to develop a new data center. Trane can advise you as you negotiate with utility companies, demonstrating ways that your data center can shave peak loads through energy storage and become a supporting partner rather than a strain on the grid.
Design Considerations
Trane can help you balance your cooling needs with energy efficiency from early planning through day-to-day operations. As your consultative partner, we’ll show you ways to help manage the challenges of external factors that affect your business, including labor shortages, refrigerant regulations and transition and pressures to meet decarbonization milestones.
With labor shortages impacting your ability to scale up, Trane can help you minimize the number of on-site personnel by automating processes and shifting some of your service requirements to us. Building a new data center? Here are three strategies to help you avoid construction delays due to the supply chain.
Trane is transitioning our products to refrigerants that meet evolving regulations aimed at reducing carbon emissions from hydrofluorocarbons. Learn how we are engineering low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants into our products and how we can help you with your own refrigerant transition.
The story of our decarbonization successes can be found in the numbers. See how Trane has reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Trane Technologies reduces the carbon impact of HVAC in homes and buildings through low-carbon steel purchase agreements with Nucor Corporation and U.S. Steel. The steel will be used in U.S. manufacturing operations, like the ones represented in this video, to build Trane® high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners for homes, and thermal management systems for commercial buildings such as schools and data centers.
Trane Technologies has made a significant commitment to combat climate change by pledging to reduce one billion metric tons of carbon emissions from its customers' footprint, aiming for net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2050.
