Solutions
The right refrigerant and system for your facility
Every data center is different. We match the system to your load profile, site, and risk tolerance.
Ammonia, CO2, or traditional systems
A qualitative comparison. Your engineer will model the specifics for your site.
| Attribute | Ammonia | CO2 | Traditional CRAC / chiller |
|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerant | Ammonia (R-717), natural | CO2 (R-744), natural | Synthetic HFCs |
| Global warming potential | Zero | Very low | High |
| Best fit | Large central plants, highest efficiency | Non-toxic option, closer to occupied space | Smaller or legacy rooms |
| Regulatory outlook | Long-term stable | Long-term stable | Phase-down pressure |
Who we build for
Colocation
Multi-tenant facilities need cooling that scales hall by hall and keeps operating costs predictable across long contracts.
AI and high-density compute
GPU clusters concentrate heat. Industrial cooling systems pair with liquid cooling and high-density air to carry those loads.
Enterprise and edge
Owner-operated facilities that want lower lifecycle cost and a single partner for design, build, and service.
Addressing safety concerns
Ammonia safety is an engineering discipline
Ammonia has a long track record in industrial refrigeration. Modern low-charge designs, leak detection, ventilation, and controls, built and maintained to IIAR standards, keep refrigerant away from people and IT equipment.

CO2 is a natural, non-toxic alternative
Transcritical and cascade CO2 systems deliver many of the same benefits without ammonia on site. We'll recommend the right fit for your facility, not the one we happen to prefer.
