Trane to Showcase Next-Generation Cooling and Circular Heat Energy Solutions at DCW Paris
New liquid cooling portfolio and heat re-use solutions will show how operators can manage high-density workloads, debunk water consumption myths, and turn data center facilities into local energy assets.
Brussels, Belgium, November 10, 2026 - Trane®, a leading global provider of thermal management solutions and services and a brand of Trane Technologies, will exhibit its advanced cooling and heat recovery portfolio at Data Centre World Paris, taking place November 18-19, 2026. At stand J110 in the Cooling Systems area, the company will present its latest technologies designed to help data center operators address rising AI-related thermal loads and enable practical energy circularity.
“As data processing demand grows and compute densities increase, cooling remains one of the most important levers for improving overall data center efficiency,” said Remy Cartaillac, District Leader France, Trane Technologies. “With cooling accounting for roughly 40% of a facility’s energy consumption, system design and integration is central to reliable, efficient operation. We can help operators manage the changing requirements, deal with rising thermal loads and deliver dependable performance without driving up power usage.”
The DCW Paris showcase will highlight Trane’s liquid cooling portfolio under the LiquidStack™ brand, including the 1 MW Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) and GigaModular™ system. These technologies are designed to support higher-density AI environments as part of a broader hybrid cooling architecture that combines liquid cooling at the chip level with high-efficiency air cooling across the wider system.
Data center infrastructure presents a significant opportunity to capture and repurpose server heat rather than treating it as a waste by-product. To support this, Trane will showcase RTSF high temperature water-to-water heat pump solutions that allow operators to route heat directly to warm nearby buildings and municipal district energy systems, unlocking circular energy for local communities.
“The environmental impact of growing AI capacity is a design choice. Europe already possesses the ready-now technology to ensure digital growth is clean, efficient, and resilient,” said Remy Cartaillac. “The immediate priority is to deploy these solutions at scale so that data centers consume resources intelligently and operate as connected local energy assets. We want to help data center facilities be "heat-use ready", by planning for physical thermal connection points early in the design phase. Only this way we can prepare a data center to plug into local district heating networks at a fraction of the cost of a future retrofit.”
Trane’s system architecture of air, liquid and hybrid cooling equipment, free cooling and heat pumps is supported and coordinated by intelligent controls. Real time monitoring, anomaly detection and adaptive optimisation maintain stability under fluctuating loads and weather conditions, enabling data centers to reduce energy consumption, improve uptime and plan effectively for future scaling. Trane’s connected and automated architectures, in house manufacturing and full system expertise allow for rapid response to changing technologies, regulatory requirements and capacity demands.
Supported by one of the industry’s largest networks of service technicians located close to where data centers are built, Trane helps ensure long term resilience and predictable operational performance.
