Lu-Ve to produce dry and adiabatic coolers in US

USA: Italian heat exchanger product manufacturer Lu-Ve is expanding its Jacksonville, Texas, factory with the aim to start local production of its largest dry and adiabatic coolers.

“This expansion not only provides first class technology, but also provides capacity to support the exponential growth from immersion cooling, direct to chip, AI, machine learning and other data centre growth drivers,” explained Jody Stonecipher, Lu-Ve US Inc’s head of sales.

Lu-Ve’s range of adiabatic coolers, including spray counter-flow systems, PAD systems and hybrid spray systems, use water recirculation systems and electronically commutated fans, while providing high cooling performance. 

“Ever since we entered the North American market, we have been steadily growing our market presence and market share. This investment will enable us to accelerate our growth and provide world-class service to our existing and future US customer base with innovative, sustainable and efficient products made right here in USA,” said Ronald Bekker, Lu-Ve North America’s MD.
