Trane Tailors Chiller Plant Controller for Data Centers

DAVIDSON, N.C. — Trane has extended its chiller plant control facility programming application to the unique operating needs and conditions of modern data centers through the Tracer SC+ system controller.
Harnessing Trane’s systems knowledge and expertise, the chiller plant controller converts complex programming into a simplified, efficient solution that can be customized to meet unique needs, a press release from the company said.
As artificial intelligence (AI) pushes data centers to new extremes, Trane is positioned to lead with whole-system thermal management solutions, helping achieve peak performance, reliability, and operational efficiency, the press release said. The Tracer chiller plant controller runs strategies that dynamically manage the rotation, staging, and sequencing of multiple chillers, simplifying system control and expediting startup and commissioning, the press release said.
“Thermal management is a performance multiplier, separating peak performance from failure,” said Steve Obstein, vice president and general manager of the data centers group at Trane Technologies. “It’s not just about components — it’s about how the whole system performs under pressure, and that’s where chiller plant control comes in.”
Tracer chiller plant control plays a key role in Trane’s full-service approach for achieving and maintaining efficient and effective data center cooling across installation, operation, and long-term system maintenance, the press release said. Through precise control algorithms and actionable insights, chiller plant control orchestrates greater efficiency throughout the entire data center and helps reduce equipment wear and tear.
