Trane Technologies employs
6,000
technicians globally to optimise cooling systems
Additionally, having one of the world’ s largest technician footprints – roughly 6000 technicians – and detailed controls offerings, we are uniquely positioned to ensure continued design optimisation and peak efficiency.
Q. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HEAT RECOVERY SOLUTIONS THAT TRANE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON?
» In addition to heat pumps, many of our chillers offer heat recovery options, and we implement heat recovery globally at varying scale. There are many more applications for heat recovery than the standard district and local heating. Indoor agriculture and fish farming are very common, but we have seen requests for applications such as industrial laundromats, community pool heating, snow removal and supplemental heat to low-income housing.
With these large liquid and hybrid cooling deployments, we are beginning to see multiple, temperature-based liquid cooling loops allowing for optimisation of the liquid cooling design. Each of the cooling loops allows for a specific temperature profile, which can assist in improving heat recovery output.
As an example, a high-temperature loop could be fed to industrial applications while a lower temperature loop could feed adjacent office space.
Q. WHY ARE THESE NEW DESIGNS ESSENTIAL IN TODAY’ S DATA CENTRE INDUSTRY?
