Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, has introduced the new Vertiv Liebert PDX-PAM direct expansion perimeter unit with low global warming potential (GWP) and non-flammable R513A refrigerant.
The company shared that the system is designed to operate with an “eco-friendly refrigerant,” as compared to legacy refrigerants.
The non-flammable R513A refrigerant provides up to a 70 per cent GWP reduction when compared to the traditional R410A.
Liebert PDX-PAM is available from 10 kW to 80 kW and is now available in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the company shared.
Karsten Winther, president for Vertiv in Europe, Middle East and Africa, commented: “In an era where efficiency and reliability are paramount, we recognize the urgent need for eco-friendly alternatives to stay ahead of regulatory requirements and provide our customers with state-of-the-art innovations.”
“With this new solution, we’re not just addressing our customers’ current sustainability objectives; we’re actively innovating and advancing the future of cooling technology and setting new heights for efficiency and reliability,” added Winther.
Lucas Beran, Research Director at Dell’Oro Group, outlined that by utilising low-GWP and non-flammable refrigerants, Vertiv complies with EU F-Gas Regulation requirements and “aims to reduce carbon footprints without compromising on safety or efficiency.”
“This innovation is significant for data center operators aiming to achieve their sustainability goals while maintaining high operational standards,” said Beran.
