Engineered for high-density, high-stakes environments

Trane’s Ascend Model ACR operates efficiently up to 145°F, standing up to heat generated by modern GPUs and AI.

Operating multiple air-cooled chillers close to each other can cause some rejected heat to recirculate into the chillers’ condenser coils, raising the ambient temperature.

The Ascend Model ACR is designed to stay online and provide cooling during these short periods of elevated temps.

Tracer chiller plant control provides even further management by automating strategic sequencing of your chillers to improve performance and avoid heat rejection recirculation.

Frequently Asked Questions

An air-cooled chiller works by circulating refrigerant through a system where it absorbs heat from the process water. The refrigerant then passes through a compressor and condenser, where fans blow air over the condenser coils to dissipate the absorbed heat into the atmosphere, cooling the refrigerant before it cycles back to repeat the process.

Free cooling for commercial chillers is a method that uses low external air temperatures to assist in cooling water, reducing the need for mechanical refrigeration and saving energy.

Free cooling air-cooled chillers save money on utility bills by using cooler outdoor air to reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical refrigeration, thereby lowering energy consumption and operating costs.
