Carrier Global Corporation, global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, has officially announced the launch of Carrier QuantumLeap™, which happens to be a comprehensive suite of purpose-built solutions capable of supporting the rapidly expanding data center industry.
According to certain reports, the state suite will enable the company to expand its portfolio of advanced, energy-efficient cooling solutions, create customizable aftermarket programs, scale manufacturing and engineer capacity, as well as collaborate with global technology leader. This, in turn, will for the company to capitalize upon those projections that expect global data center cooling market projected to reach $20 billion by 2029.
More on the company’s new innovations would reveal how they bring the means to seamlessly manage the entire thermal lifecycle of data centers. This translates to delivering end-to-end thermal management through intelligent cooling, digital controls, and predictive monitoring, thus ensuring real-time optimization, adaptability and efficiency across data center operations.
Such a scalable system-wide approach, on its part, can seamlessly maximize performance and energy efficiency, and it can do so even in the most demanding environments.
“Carrier QuantumLeap represents the next evolution in data center thermal management, integrating our most advanced cooling, controls and service solutions to deliver a highly efficient, state-of-the art cooling system tailored to each customer’s needs,” said Christian Senu, Executive Director, Data Centers, Carrier. “With AI-driven growth, our innovative solutions—such as the integration of direct-to-chip liquid cooling with traditional HVAC cooling systems optimized through intelligent controls platforms—allow data centers to maximize efficiency and reliability. AI will continue to strain power grids, increasing demand for intelligent, integrated thermal management solutions that Carrier is uniquely positioned to deliver.”
Talk about Carrier QuantumLeap on a slightly deeper level, we begin from its chillers and air handling solutions. Here, the technology basically provides you with a range of next-generation chiller solutions, including screw and centrifugal compression systems with magnetic bearing technology, and custom air handling systems.
All these solutions are markedly made to deliver seamless integration into the broader thermal ecosystem, and as a result, they are understood to be 30% more efficient than prior generations of products. Not just that, the stated assortment of solutions also feature integrated free cooling, elevated chilled water temperatures, and optimized energy use to ensure consistent performance, all while meeting the demands of AI-driven computing.
Next up, we must dig into the liquid cooling capabilities in play here that arrive on the back of Carrier’s Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU). In case you weren’t aware, the stated CDU is meticulously designed to enable seamless integration into direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling systems for high-density environments.
Then, there are differentiated controls solutions. Here, we basically have Carrier’s advanced Automated Logic building management system and digital platform serving as the intelligence hub of this interconnected ecosystem so to empower operators with unparalleled transparency and precision control.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in QuantumLeap’s data center infrastructure management facility. For better understanding, Carrier Nlyte®’s cutting-edge data center management, optimization, and compliance reporting solutions are currently deployed in more than 300 data centers. These facilities, spanning enterprise, co-location and edge environments, are understood to manage and optimize over one million racks and 10 million data points.
Using Nlyte’s innovative technology, the solution is able to deliver significant energy savings, cost reductions, and improved resiliency.
Finally, our last piece of highlight stems from technology’s promise to provide predictive maintenance and service. This it will deliver using global service network, supported by an ecosystem of skilled technicians and factory-authorized spare parts.
Complementing that would be Carrier’s digital platform, Abound™, which can provide you with real-time insights, remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance capabilities, enabling data-driven, outcome-based results that minimize downtime, maximize uptime, and enhance performance across the data center ecosystem.
The development in question also delivers an interesting follow-up to Carrier’s recent investments in emerging cooling technologies. For instance, in 2024, the company’s investment arm invested in STL, a leader in liquid cooling technologies.
Apart from that, Carrier has also set things in motion to double its commercial HVAC manufacturing capacity across North America by the end of the year.
