Schneider Electric Unveils New Data Center Chiller Line

Schneider Electric has introduced a new range of air-cooled and free-cooling chillers. This week, the company unveiled its Uniflair XCA chiller line, designed to support the requirements of high-density, liquid-cooled data centers.

The range includes the Uniflair XCAC air-cooled and Uniflair XCAF free-cooling models, both featuring oil-free centrifugal compressors with magnetic bearing technology and integrated variable-speed drives.The XCA line is equipped with a spray-type evaporator and uses low-global-warming-potential (low-GWP) refrigerants. It includes six sizes of oil-free centrifugal chillers, with capacities ranging from 1.2MW to 2.5MW.

“Energy efficiency, adaptability, and reliability are essential components of liquid cooling systems for AI-optimized data centers, and we’ve designed the Uniflair XCA line with these most important design features at the forefront,” said Andrew Bradner, SVP, cooling business at Schneider Electric. “With adaptable water operating temperatures and versatile deployment options, the XCA line features a system-level approach that gives operators scalability, enhanced performance, and long-term peace of mind as data center complexity continues to rise.”
