Carrier chiller achieves date centre Eurovent certification

UK: Carrier has become the first manufacturer to achieve Eurovent Certified Performance for free-cooling air-cooled process chillers specifically designed for data centre applications. 

Eurovent Certified Performance is a globally recognised mark of operational excellence, guaranteeing manufacturers’ performance claims through independent testing and evaluation. 

Carrier’s AquaForce 30XF free-cooling air-cooled process chillers are now certified for their energy-efficient operation, offering data centres accurate predictions for annual energy consumption at different load situations. The certification also validates the unit’s SEER and SEPR metrics.

The AquaForce 30XF is designed to meet the stringent requirements of modern data centres, operating efficiently in outdoor air temperatures ranging from -20°C to 55°C, with cooling capacities between 390kW and 2,100kW. 

The unit features R1234ze refrigerant and offers 100% hydronic free-cooling.

The rigorous Eurovent third-party testing on the 30XF certifies all operational modes – free cooling, mechanical cooling and mixed cooling.
