TRANE
Retrofitting What modular solutions and engineering strategies does Trane recommend for operators who must upgrade the cooling capacity of legacy data centres without risking significant operational downtime? Trane approaches retrofits through a lifecycle lens, helping operators address immediate capacity constraints while supporting longer-term modernisation, asset life extension and capital efficiency. This can be achieved through traditional onsite construction or modular solutions. For hyperscale and colocation operators, retrofitting is not just a facilities upgrade – it is a live-operations challenge that requires protecting uptime while increasing capacity. Trane recommends modular, phased retrofit strategies rather than disruptive rip-andreplace approaches. These solutions can be deployed alongside existing infrastructure, allowing operators to expand cooling capacity where needed while minimising disruption. Engineering starts with a detailed assessment of the current environment so upgrades can be sequenced with minimal operational
