Scalable modular data centre fan wall

FRANCE: The LFB Group has expanded its ApX series of cooling solutions for hyperscale and edge data centres with a new Fan Wall Unit (FWU).

The LFB Group is the new umbrella name for the Lennox (HVAC) and Friga-Bohn (refrigeration) businesses. 

Engineered to fill a need for scalable, efficient cooling amid rising AI workloads, compute density and global edge deployments, the new Lennox-branded FWU is said to deliver a space-optimised, modular solution that grows alongside the data centre. With a scalable cooling range from 100kW to 1000kW, it combines high performance and energy efficiency with a compact footprint, helping operators reduce both operating costs and space consumption.

Featuring EC fans, advanced coil designs and customisable configurations, the unit is said to provide optimal airflow and maximised heat exchange. Its modular architecture allows for future capacity expansion.

According to LFB, the FWU – ApX Series will fit effortlessly into a wide variety of data centre layouts and scales fluidly with demand.
