Data Centers
Hyperscale and colocation facilities demand 99.999% uptime with increasing power density per rack. TraneThermal delivers chilled water systems achieving PUE below 1.2, with N+1 redundancy and free cooling economizers for temperate climates.
Project Reference: Southeast Asia Colocation Facility
A 15 MW colocation data center in Singapore required chilled water cooling capable of maintaining 22 degrees C supply air temperature at 95% relative humidity ambient conditions. TraneThermal deployed 6 x 750 TR water-cooled centrifugal chillers with variable-speed drives in an N+1 configuration, integrated with a waterside economizer for the 800 hours per year when wet-bulb temperature drops below 18 degrees C. The completed system achieved PUE 1.18, delivering 12% lower energy consumption than the client's baseline design using constant-speed chillers.
Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences
GMP-compliant HVAC systems maintaining ISO Class 5-8 cleanroom conditions. Our solutions address stringent temperature control within plus/minus 0.5 degrees C, humidity control, and positive/negative pressure cascades required for API manufacturing and sterile fill facilities.
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant monitoring and documentation
- HEPA-integrated air handling units with heat recovery
- Validated temperature mapping and IQ/OQ/PQ support
Project Reference: European API Manufacturing Facility
A pharmaceutical company in Basel, Switzerland required HVAC upgrades for a 4,200 m2 cleanroom suite producing injectable APIs under EU GMP Annex 1 conditions. TraneThermal supplied four air handling units with HEPA filtration and heat recovery wheels, plus two 200 TR water-cooled scroll chillers providing chilled water at 6/12 degrees C. The system maintained ISO Class 7 conditions with temperature stability within plus/minus 0.3 degrees C across all zones. Energy consumption decreased 22% compared to the previous constant-volume system through variable air volume controls and chiller sequencing optimization.
Food & Beverage Processing
From dairy pasteurization to blast freezing, our process cooling systems maintain HACCP-compliant temperature chains. Ammonia/CO2 cascade systems deliver maximum efficiency for large cold stores, while glycol loop systems serve distributed process cooling needs.
- HACCP-compatible equipment design with stainless steel construction
- Blast freezing from +20 degrees C to -35 degrees C in under 4 hours
- Ammonia systems with leak detection and emergency ventilation
Project Reference: Midwest Frozen Food Processing Plant
A frozen food manufacturer in Iowa required a new blast freezing line capable of reducing product core temperature from +20 degrees C to -18 degrees C within 3 hours for a throughput of 8 tons per hour. TraneThermal designed an ammonia/CO2 cascade refrigeration system with the low-stage CO2 circuit operating at -45 degrees C evaporating temperature. The cascade design achieved a system COP of 1.8 at the design condition, 15% higher than a comparable single-stage ammonia system, while reducing total ammonia charge from 4,500 kg to 800 kg by confining ammonia to the high-stage circuit in the machine room.
Cold Chain & Logistics
Temperature-controlled warehouses and distribution centers require reliable refrigeration with continuous monitoring. Our cold storage systems range from +2 degrees C fresh goods storage to -40 degrees C deep freeze, with real-time temperature logging for regulatory compliance.
