Infinitum announced at the AHR Expo a next-generation, sustainable motor designed specifically for data center cooling applications. The new motor system extends Infinitum’s award-winning Aircore EC line of motors and meets the unique needs of data centers to reduce power requirements and energy consumption.
Infinitum’s Aircore EC motor for data centers can be customized to meet the application’s specific horsepower, speed and torque requirements, while still achieving performance targets to reduce energy consumption by more than 10-15 percent. It also means the input current required by the motor can be minimized, opening a significant opportunity to reduce the wiring and protection equipment needs of the electric utility that powers the data center, allowing data center designers to save costs on upstream electrical infrastructure including wiring, circuit breakers and transformers.
Infinitum’s new Aircore EC motor for data centers features an integrated variable frequency drive (VFD) to optimize motor control and efficiency, as well as smart features, such as IoT connectivity to monitor critical equipment and BACnet and Modbus controllers to optimize building operations. The new Aircore EC motor system for data center applications will be available beginning in Q3 of 2023.
Aircore EC motors are 50 percent smaller and lighter, more efficient, significantly quieter and use 66 percent less copper than traditional motors. Infinitum designs and manufactures Aircore EC motors with a sustainable, circular lifecycle in mind. Modular design allows the housing, rotors, and stators to be reused multiple times, giving parts a second and third life to serve future generations.
Infinitum is showcasing its line of award-winning Aircore EC motors during the AHR Expo in booth #C6131 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Infinitum will also be presenting “Next Generation Air Core Technology” for HVAC OEMs and data center operators on Wednesday, Feb. 8 at 12:45pm in Theater C.
