Lennox launches dedicated data centre business

FRANCE: Lennox has established a new stand-alone business to support the rapidly expanding data centre industry. 

Lennox Data Centre Solutions will provide sustainable cooling solutions and services directly to the data centre market across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

“Our experience has led us to a position where we understand that data centre solutions, especially for cooling processes, are bespoke from project to project,” said Matt Evans, CEO of Lennox Data Centre Solutions. 

“Backed by renewed investment and focus, the business will lead with an engineering consultancy approach to the design of data centre heat-rejection solutions. We aim to treat every project on individual merit, working closely with customers to create the optimal solution based on our full end-to-end product suite.”

Lennox claims a deep knowledge of data centre design and build through its existing experience in the sector, bolstered by a number of strategic new recruits with proven expertise in data centre cooling solutions.

The business will be backed by Lennox’s manufacturing facilities in Lyon and Dijon in France, Burgos in Spain, and its attendant Eurovent-certified test facilities.

A full portfolio of cooling solutions for data centres will be offered, some designed specifically for the application, others adapted from the existing Lennox portfolio. The range spans close control units, computer room air handler units, fan walls, cooling distribution units, chillers and both adiabatic and conventional dry coolers.

With the new business, Lennox says that, across Europe alone, it can call upon a team of over 100 in-house technical engineers supporting product commissioning, service and maintenance.

Alongside its direct support for data centres, Lennox says that the new business will also look to provide support through an exclusive partner network of consultants and system integrators.
