COLUMBUS, Ohio - Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions with a market capitalization of $29.71 billion and robust revenue growth of 16.74% in the last twelve months, announced the launch of the Vertiv™ CoolLoop Trim Cooler. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company’s stock is currently trading near its Fair Value, supported by strong financial health metrics and positive net income expectations for the year ahead. This new addition to their thermal management portfolio is designed to enhance air and liquid cooling applications for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). The system is engineered to support fluctuating water temperatures, which are common in AI and HPC applications, and to accommodate diverse climate conditions in hybrid-cooled or liquid-cooled data centers and AI factories.
The Vertiv CoolLoop Trim Cooler is reported to provide up to a 70% reduction in annual cooling energy consumption by leveraging free-cooling and mechanical operation. It also offers a 40% space savings compared to traditional systems. The system can support fluctuating supply water temperatures up to 40°C and cold plate functionality at 45°C, addressing the challenges faced by modern AI factories.
Integration with high-density, liquid-cooled environments is simplified with straightforward water connections, which also facilitate direct system integration with Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU coolant distribution units for direct-to-chip cooling. The Vertiv CoolLoop Trim Cooler can connect directly to immersion cooling systems, which simplifies installation and reduces operational complexity. This innovation comes as Vertiv demonstrates solid financial performance, with InvestingPro data showing $495.8 million in net income and a healthy current ratio of 1.65, indicating strong operational efficiency and financial stability.
According to Sam Bainborough, vice president of thermal business EMEA at Vertiv, the expansion of Vertiv’s high-density thermal management portfolio is a response to the evolving demands of AI-driven data centers, which are increasingly facing thermal challenges due to 100kW+ racks.
The new cooling solution uses low-GWP refrigerant and offers scalable cooling capacity up to almost 3 MW in the air-cooled configuration. Optimized for high ambient temperatures, the free cooling coils are designed to operate in free cooling mode across more seasons and conditions, which can lead to reduced electrical consumption and CO2e emissions. The system is also compliant with the upcoming 2027 EU F-GAS regulations ban, which could save customers from costly redesigns or infrastructure upgrades.
The launch of the Vertiv CoolLoop Trim Cooler is part of Vertiv’s commitment to providing hardware, software, analytics, and services that ensure continuous and optimal performance of vital applications for data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial facilities.
