Schneider Electric Launches Uniflair XCA Chillers for AI Data Centers

Schneider Electric has launched the Uniflair XCA chillers, designed for high-density AI and liquid-cooled data centers, delivering enhanced energy efficiency and operational resilience. The range features oil-free centrifugal compressors, magnetic bearing technology, and integrated variable-speed drives, facilitating adaptability to varying thermal loads.

Notably, the XCAF models achieve free-cooling operation with elevated outlet temperatures up to 33°C, potentially reducing annual energy consumption by 60%. The platform complies with the EU F-Gas Regulation and employs low-global-warming-potential refrigerants, supporting sustainability efforts.

Advanced control systems optimize performance, enhancing reliability and reducing maintenance needs. These innovations are pivotal as demand for cooling increases in AI-driven environments, impacting operational costs and system efficiency.
