Schneider Electric has launched Uniflair XCA, a series of air-cooled and free-cooling chillers for AI-driven, high-density liquid-cooled data centres.
The Uniflair XCAC (air-cooled) and Uniflair XCAF (free-cooling) series integrate oil-free centrifugal compressors with magnetic bearing technology and built-in variable-speed drives, forming a fully optimized cooling platform engineered to deliver remarkable energy performance and operational stability across diverse thermal loads and ambient conditions.
Equipped with a high-efficiency spray-type evaporator, the XCA line features six sizes of oil-free centrifugal chillers ranging from 1 200 kW to 2 500 kW units that deliver excellent thermal performance and use low-GWP refrigerants to significantly reduce environmental impact.
Their wide operating range accommodates elevated water temperatures, making the chillers particularly suited for AI-optimized data centers and advanced liquid cooling infrastructures, where energy efficiency and sustainability are critical.
Uniflair XCA has an integrated high-efficiency architecture built around oil free magnetic bearing centrifugal compressors, advanced heat-exchange architecture, optimised heat-rejection architecture, enhanced free cooling capabilities, high configurability, a high-efficiency quick restart and sustainability by design.
A new generation of firmware includes features that optimise performance in real time.
