Expertise Matters
Data centers have become essential resources for modern businesses, offering a reliable way to offload the high energy demands and technical upkeep of data equipment. While they deliver significant benefits, data centers also face critical challenges, including humidity control, cooling, utility costs, and HVAC maintenance.
Tom Barrow Company partners with top manufacturers to provide expert HVAC solutions, ensuring efficient design, sourcing, and implementation.
Product Features
Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAH)
Computer Room Air Handlers (CRAHs) are engineered for high-density IT environments, delivering powerful cooling capacity within a compact footprint. Designed to support both new construction and retrofit applications, CRAHs offer flexible configurations to meet diverse data center needs.
Advanced fan and coil technologies enhance thermal performance while reducing energy consumption and physical space requirements. Multiple motor options allow precise airflow control, helping optimize cooling efficiency for your specific layout.
Built for reliability and scalability, CRAHs are a cornerstone of modern data center infrastructure, ensuring consistent thermal management for critical IT loads.
Fan/Coil Wall Units
Coil walls are specialized air handling solutions used in data centers to efficiently deliver large volumes of cool air to IT equipment halls. Integrating cooling coils into structural wall units, these systems combine high thermal performance with a compact footprint.
Coil walls are engineered to maximize cooling capacity, optimize airflow, and minimize noise, making them well-suited for high-density environments. Their design offers built-in redundancy and operational reliability, ensuring continuous performance even under peak loads.
With flexible configurations, coil walls can be tailored to meet the unique cooling and space requirements of modern data centers, helping to maintain consistent environmental conditions and improve overall energy efficiency.
Coolant Distribution Units (CDU)
A Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) is a key component in liquid cooling systems, used to efficiently deliver coolant to high-density IT equipment racks, especially in data centers. CDUs are essential for supporting the thermal demands of modern, AI-driven workloads. They can be deployed in both new builds and retrofit scenarios.
CDUs typically offer a wide range of cooling capacities and are engineered for high energy efficiency. Features often include built-in redundancy for increased reliability and a compact footprint to maximize floor space. CDUs help maintain optimal operating temperatures—even under extreme compute loads—ensuring consistent uptime and performance.
