RAISE CHILLER TEMPS AND RECOVER CAPACITY WITH NO NEW INFRASTRUCTURE
Data centers run on tight margins — of power, of cooling capacity, and of space. When HVAC falls short, the answer is usually the same: more chiller capacity, more capital expense, more construction disruption. AquaDry changes that equation.
AquaDry is a hydronic liquid desiccant air handling unit that removes latent load directly from the air, allowing your chiller plant to operate at higher setpoints without sacrificing humidity control. The result: more cooling capacity from the infrastructure you already have.
- Raised chilled water temperature, increasing chiller capacity by 12%
- Compatible with Waste Heat Reovery
- No new chiller capacity required
Recover Capacity Without a Chiller Expansion Many data centers hit a hard limit: the chiller plant is fully loaded, but cooling and humidity demands keep growing. Adding capacity the conventional way means a costly, disruptive chiller plant expansion — often measured in months of construction and millions of dollars. AquaDry delivers more dehumidification with less chilled water capacity, freeing up existing chiller capacity for additional IT load without touching the plant.
Lower PUE Without Compromising Control Higher chilled water setpoints mean less compressor lift, which means less energy per ton of cooling delivered. AquaDry’s ability to raise chilled water operating temperatures translates directly into improved PUE — without sacrificing the humidity control your equipment depends on.
Turn Waste Heat Into an Asset AquaDry regenerates its desiccant using low-grade hot water in the 110–180°F range. For facilities already capturing waste heat, AquaDry puts it to work rather than rejecting it.
