Next-Generation Chiller Platforms Are Redefining Acoustic Strategy in High-Density Data Centers
As thermal capacity scales, so does acoustic impact. New OEM chiller platforms, such as the YORK® YVAM Air-Cooled Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller and the Trane Ascend™ Air-Cooled Chiller Model ACR, are fundamentally reshaping high-density data center design. Air-cooled systems now deliver up to 3–3.5 MW per unit, enabling higher capacity density and, in many cases, a reduced total […]
A Parklane case study: An agile approach to data center noise attenuation
Mitigating unwanted mechanical noise at a data center can seem like an impossible mission, one worthy of a blockbuster action film. It’s especially challenging in the context of a new data center that needs to be taken operational as quickly as possible. Indeed, data centers are mission-critical infrastructure that power a vast digital network—one that […]
A Parklane case study: Silencer solution caps noise from a condominium air chiller
One of the most significant negative impacts on life in urban environments isn’t merely from higher-profile concerns such as overcrowding, climate change and poor air quality—although those are all formidable problems. Unwanted noise is just as much a threat, and it’s poised to become an even greater challenge in the years ahead. As cities grow […]
