Carrier QuantumLeap solution for data centers

Carrier QuantumLeap provides a fully integrated suite of solutions to seamlessly manage the entire thermal life cycle of data centers. From chip to chiller, Carrier can deliver end-to-end thermal management through intelligent cooling, digital controls, and predictive monitoring and service, ensuring real-time optimization, “adaptability,” and efficiency across data center operations. This scalable system-wide approach maximizes performance and energy efficiency in even the most demanding environments.

Chillers and air handling solutions: Carrier provides a range of next-generation chiller solutions, including screw and centrifugal compression systems with magnetic bearing technology and custom air handling systems. Designed for seamless integration into the broader thermal ecosystem, these high-efficiency solutions are 30% more efficient than prior generations of products. They feature integrated free cooling, elevated chilled water temperatures, and optimized energy use, ensuring consistent performance to meet the demands of AI-driven computing.

Liquid cooling: At SuperCompute 24 in Atlanta, Carrier recently showcased its Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU), which enables seamless integration into direct-to-chip liquid cooling systems for high-density environments. 

Differentiated controls solutions: Carrier’s advanced Automated Logic building management system and digital platform serve as the intelligence hub of this interconnected ecosystem, empowering operators with unparalleled transparency and precision control. 

Data center infrastructure management: Today, Carrier Nlyte’s data center management, optimization, and compliance reporting solutions are deployed in more than 300 data centers. These facilities, spanning enterprise, co-location, and edge environments, are efficiently managing and optimizing more than one million racks and 10 million data points using Nlyte’s innovative technology, delivering energy savings, cost reductions, and improved resiliency. 

Predictive maintenance and service: Carrier’s global service network, supported by a network of skilled technicians and factory-authorized spare parts, provides operational reliability and proactive issue resolution. In addition, Carrier’s digital platform, Abound, provides real-time insights, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance capabilities. This enables data-driven, outcome-based results that minimize downtime, maximize uptime, and enhance performance across the data center ecosystem.

Strategic investments and partnerships to accelerate data center growth

Carrier’s acceleration in the data center market is driven by growth investments in emerging cooling technologies, expanded capabilities, and strategic partnerships.

Investment in Strategic Thermal Labs: In 2024, Carrier Ventures invested in Strategic Thermal Labs (STL), a leader in liquid cooling technologies. STL is an Austin-area heat transfer research and development company with industry-renowned expertise in data center liquid cooling. Building on its strong reputation, STL is a trusted partner to some of the largest server manufacturers and data center operators, providing valuable insights into both current and next-generation data center cooling technologies. 

Expanded manufacturing and engineering capacity: Carrier expects to double its commercial HVAC manufacturing capacity in North America by the end of the year and optimize its engineering lab capacity to develop and scale next-generation cooling solutions to meet surging demand while driving continued innovation.
