Cooler Master introduces two cooling systems
EcoDataCenter to utilize Alfa Laval heat exchangers
EcoDataCenter to be an industry first in deploying Alfa Laval heat exchangers made using recycled steel produced without new CO2 emissions from SSAB . This deployment signifies a pivotal moment in the ongoing effort to reduce carbon emissions within the supply chain , exemplifying the significance of collaboration . It is crucial to leverage innovations together with partners . This underlines the importance of collaborative efforts in mitigating
emissions . Peter Michelson CEO at EcoDataCenter . The result of a Life Cycle Analysis made of the latest datacenter at EcoDataCenter shows that 60 % of the embodied carbon comes from the equipment . The introduction of Alfa Laval heat exchangers made using SSAB Zero™ , recycled steel produced without new CO2 emissions , is a step forward in EcoDataCenter ’ s mission to reduce emissions within the supply chain .
Cooler Master has introduced two new generation processor cooling systems – the flagship air cooler Cooler Master V8 3DVC and the maintenance-free liquid cooling system Cooler Master G11 AIO . For both new products , the manufacturer claims that it can dissipate up to 300 W of heat energy from the CPU . Cooler Master V8 3DVC is the spiritual successor to the iconic Cooler Master V8 cooler series , the first representative of which was released by the manufacturer back in 2008 . Externally , the Cooler Master V8 3DVC is similar to other tower coolers , but differs from its competitors by the presence of a
large evaporation chamber at the base and advanced composite heat pipes combined into a single unit , ensuring the most efficient heat transfer . The radiator of the cooler is surrounded by a black and silver housing , and two branded fans from Mobius with a diameter of 120 mm are responsible for the airflow in the new product . The manufacturer claims that the new V8 3DVC cooler is capable of dissipating up to 300W of thermal energy from the CPU . In addition to the V8 3DVC , Cooler Master has also introduced the maintenance-free G11 AIO liquid cooling system , which includes a 360mm radiator .

YORK launches air-cooled variable speed drive screw chiller
Johnson Controls has announced the launch of the first air-cooled variable speed drive ( VSD ) screw chiller in the United States to use ultra-low-global warming potential ( GWP ) refrigerant R-1234ze .
The YORK ® YVAA Style B Air-Cooled Screw Chiller , an evolution of the firstgeneration YVAA , is engineered to drive efficiency now and meet or exceed future regulatory requirements . The R-1234ze refrigerant has a zero ozone depletion potential ( ODP ) and a GWP of 7 , which is well below the Environmental Protection Agency ’ s ( EPA ) SNAP requirement , making the YVAA Style B a future-forward solution for hydrofluorocarbon ( HFC ) phase-down requirements . In addition to the use of ultra-low-GWP R-1234ze , the YORK ® YVAA Style B features next-generation condenser coils to minimize the refrigerant quantity and further reduce its carbon footprint . A newly designed compressor optimizes part-load efficiency to deliver a significant reduction in annual energy consumption . Series flow evaporators coupled with falling film technology help achieve market-leading performance . YVAA Style B chillers are equipped with state-of-the-art technologies , allowing reliable operation for a wide range of -10 F to 130 F ambient temperatures . YVAA Style B can reach capacity ranges spanning from 100 TR to 400 TR for comfort cooling applications , and 200 TR to 500 TR compatible with data center mission critical requirements . A configurable design meets stringent data center requirements of higher leaving water temperatures up to 75 F .
