Product catalog summary
Introduction
Tranter heat exchangers are integral to enhancing the sustainability of data centers by improving cooling efficiency and reducing environmental impact. Key metrics for sustainability include Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE), Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE), and Energy Reuse Effectiveness (ERE).
Traditional Cooling Challenges
Traditional data center cooling systems rely heavily on chillers and open cooling towers, leading to high electricity and water consumption, increased CO2 emissions, and fouling issues that raise operational costs.
Tranter's Heat Exchanger Solutions
Tranter's plate and frame heat exchangers offer a sustainable alternative by protecting chillers from fouling, reducing fluid volume, and allowing different design pressures. This results in lower electricity and water usage, reducing PUE, CUE, and WUE by up to 20%.
Free-Cooling and Hybrid Systems
In suitable climates, chillers can be bypassed, utilizing free-cooling with cooling towers and heat exchangers, further reducing costs and environmental impact. Emerging hybrid systems with direct liquid cooling and compact plate heat exchangers enhance ERE by providing higher temperature waste heat.
Design Optimization Tips
To optimize heat exchanger performance, consider seasonal temperature variations, avoid excessive design margins, and allow for higher pressure drops to minimize fouling and reduce system size and cost.
Waste Heat Recovery
Waste heat from data centers can be repurposed for applications like space heating and district heating networks. New district heating systems can utilize low-grade waste heat, integrating directly with data center outputs.
Tranter's Global Presence
Tranter is a leading manufacturer of heat exchangers with a global presence, offering extensive manufacturing and support services across multiple continents.

Tranter® heat exchangers in the sustainable-2

The digitalization mega trend has resulted in exponential growth of data centers. While promoting technological advancement, it also raises significant environmental and sustainability concerns due to the high energy, water and resource consumption associated with data centers. Let’s take a look at how Tranter’s plate and frame heat exchangers can be used to make the datacenters more sustainable. Datacenters are essential for our modern society and already represent approximately 1% of the word’s electricity use. The definition of a sustainable data center is one that minimizes its environmental...

Tranter® heat exchangers in the sustainable-3

The plate and frame heat exchanger protects the chiller from fouling, reduces the volume of fluid in each circuit and allows different design pressure on each side of the plate heat exchanger, reducing the overall cost of the system. Reduced fouling and volume of each circuit will also reduce water usage and reduce WUE by up to 20%. In geographic areas where the ambient temperature allows, the chiller can be completely by-passed during certain periods of the year, cooling the datacenter through free-cooling with only the cooling tower and the plate and frame heat exchanger, providing substantial...
