Nortek Data Center Cooling (DCC) has announced the launch of its new C-Force Lifecycle Model and its latest StatePoint 2025 Hybrid Cooling system. The company says the two new offerings aim to improve efficiency, sustainability, and performance in data center cooling operations.
The C-Force model is designed to help data center operators plan and manage cooling systems throughout the facility lifecycle. It includes analytics and modeling tools for assessing long-term capital and energy expenses, scheduled upgrades, and high-efficiency operation. According to Nortek DCC, the model is built to support strategic decision-making and lower total cost of ownership.
The StatePoint 2025 system is an upgraded version of the company’s existing indirect evaporative cooling technology. The new design combines a membrane energy exchanger with integrated mechanical cooling and a transitional operating mode between water-saving and air-based systems. Nortek DCC reports that this hybrid approach enables year-round cooling optimization depending on environmental and IT load conditions.
The design includes enhancements to system components and controls, aimed at increasing resilience, serviceability, and configuration flexibility. These updates also aim to support compliance with sustainability targets and operational reliability requirements.
“The C-Force model helps customers evaluate performance not only day one, but year seven, year 12, and even year 20. It’s a growth-based model that makes lifecycle planning proactive instead of reactive,” said Amanda Kockler, Global Product Manager at Nortek DCC.
Regarding the StatePoint 2025 platform, Kockler stated: “We’ve invested in both sides of the equation. We kept StatePoint’s core indirect evaporative foundation while adding features that allow seamless transitions to mechanical cooling, helping customers meet stricter sustainability and resiliency goals.”
Nortek DCC will showcase the C-Force model and the StatePoint 2025 system at the 7x24 Exchange International Spring Conference in Orlando, Florida. The company says these new offerings are intended to meet evolving requirements for water and energy use while maintaining reliable cooling in data centers.
