Trane®, by Trane Technologies has extended its chiller plant control facility programming application, specific to the unique operating needs and conditions of modern data centers, through Trane’s Tracer SC+ system controller. Harnessing Trane’s deep systems knowledge and expertise, chiller plant control converts complex programming into a simplified, efficient solution that can be customized to meet unique needs.
As AI pushes data centers to new extremes, Trane is uniquely positioned to lead with whole-system thermal management solutions, helping to achieve peak performance, reliability, and operational efficiency. Tracer chiller plant control runs sophisticated strategies that dynamically manage the rotation, staging and sequencing of multiple chillers, simplifying system control and expediting startup and commissioning.
“Thermal management is a performance multiplier, separating peak performance from failure,” said Steve Obstein, Vice President and General Manager, Data Centers, Trane Technologies. “It’s not just about components — it’s about how the whole system performs under pressure, and that’s where chiller plant control comes in.”
Unlike other variable, custom solutions that address pieces of the system, Trane designs and delivers high-quality and configurable solutions throughout the entire thermal management lifecycle. Tracer chiller plant control plays a key role in Trane’s full-service approach for achieving and maintaining efficient and effective data center cooling, across installation, operation and long-term system maintenance. Through precise control algorithms and actionable insights, chiller plant control orchestrates greater efficiency throughout the entire data center and helps reduce wear and tear for extended equipment lifespan.
Trane controls serve as the backbone of intelligent systems, enabling advanced thermal management through seamless data flow to help detect issues early, maintain performance and operate within a secure digital framework that meets the demands of modern data centers. Through Trane Autonomous Control, connected tools, and smart services, Trane equips thousands of local Trane service experts across North America and our customers with the tools needed to resolve issues fast and efficiently.
Trane continues to strengthen its comprehensive thermal management systems portfolio for data centers through a series of custom innovations that include scalable liquid cooling platforms, an efficient fan coil wall platform, larger capacity and higher operating ambient temperature air-cooled chillers, and a modern Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) solution, engineered for AI workloads, sustainability, and future growth.
