Trane Technologies launched the HSWE magnetic bearing centrifugal chiller, a new high-efficiency water-cooled unit desig

Trane Technologies announced the launch of the HSWE magnetic bearing centrifugal chiller, developed as a regional innovation for the Asia Pacific market. The unit is engineered to meet the demanding cooling requirements of data centers and other high-performance applications.

The HSWE achieves a full-load COP of up to 7.3 under China's GB standard and an AHRI IPLV of up to 12.3. Given that electricity typically represents approximately 88.5 percent of a chiller's total lifecycle cost, the unit's high efficiency translates into substantial operational savings for building owners and operators.

The chiller is designed with readiness for next-generation HFO refrigerants, enabling customers to prepare for evolving sustainability and regulatory requirements in the region. It operates with ultra-quiet performance, achieving noise levels as low as 73 dB(A), making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments such as hospitals and commercial buildings.

For data center applications, the HSWE offers a cooling capacity range of 600 to over 1,500 RT, with standard applications ranging from 500 to 1,250 RT. The unit supports a maximum leaving chilled water temperature of up to 35 degrees Celsius, allowing seamless integration with waterside economizer and free cooling systems. Critical for mission-critical environments, the HSWE can restart within 25 seconds after power restoration and reach full load capacity within two minutes, reducing the risk of server overheating and business interruption.

The chiller is equipped with the advanced AdaptiView controller, which integrates patented control logics including adaptive control, feedforward control, and variable primary flow compensation. This represents the successful application of adaptive refrigerant flow control on a centrifugal platform. These capabilities enable precise chilled-water temperature control and stable output under changing loads and variable-flow conditions, supporting the energy-saving strategies required in high-performance buildings and data centers.
