Peak+ Announces New Adiabatic Pre-Cooling Form Factor for Data Centers

The new Peak+ CORE^™ system can be factory-installed on v-coil style chillers and dry coolers, accelerating time-to-revenue for data center developers seeking incremental power for additional IT loads, reduced PPUE, and solutions for failing external CFDs

MEMPHIS, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Peak+, a developer and manufacturer of precision adiabatic pre-cooling technologies that enhance air-cooled condenser performance and operational reliability, today announced the launch of the Peak+ CORE^™ pre-cooling system. This new system integrates directly into air-cooled chillers and other air-cooled equipment and supports factory installation.

Higher power densities in data center campuses mean greater challenges for facility heat rejection, evidenced by increasingly common failing external CFDs. The CORE^™ system is specifically designed for high-temperature environments, where it is critical to suppress condenser entering air temperatures (CEAT) to the chiller system design temperature, or below, to avoid chiller performance derate.

As with all Peak+ adiabatic pre-cooling systems, CORE^™ can achieve and maintain a specific targeted cooled dry bulb CEAT, enabling operators to minimize water use.

“Data centers of all sizes are facing the same pressures: more heat, higher opportunity costs of misused energy, and increasing focus on water stewardship,” said Chris Curry, CEO at Peak+. “The Peak+ CORE^™ system is what the market has been asking for—factory-installable, precise, and robust adiabatic pre-cooling – whether that is a new construction project or an existing facility looking to upgrade.”

The CORE^™ system is designed to meet the needs of air-cooled chiller OEMs and data center operators and can be installed at the OEM factory or at off-site pre-fab facilities, minimizing on-site assembly and integration work. The CORE^™ frames, which are positioned directly in front of condenser coils on v-coil style air-cooled chillers and other air-cooled condensers and radiators, can also be field-installed on existing equipment.

The CORE^™ system joins the Peak+ product line alongside Peak+’s existing external frame- based pre-cooling system, which will now be known as HALO^™. Both HALO^™ and CORE^™ leverage Peak+’s unparalleled technical foundation and proprietary technologies, based on 300+ US installations, including dozens of data centers, and Peak+’s operational knowledge base with millions of real-world data points. Peak+ systems enable customers to:

• Solve for failing external CFDs
• Reduce peak PUE to increase IT yield
• Protect condenser coils
• Mitigate hot air recirculation and chiller derate
• Increase chiller peak cooling capacity by up to 40%
• Reduce chiller compressor energy by up to 50%

All Peak+ systems are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA, and Peak+ deploys its own team to commission every site.

Customers can order the CORE^™ system directly from Peak+ or coordinate with most major HVAC OEMs.
