KEYTER joins the E-CLIMADAT project to develop
climate-neutral data centers
At KEYTER, we remain firmly committed to innovation and sustainability as key pillars of our growth strategy. In this context, we are actively participating in the E-CLIMADAT project: Research into disruptive low-carbon technologies for the active, efficient, and flexible management of buildings, and their application to climate-neutral and resilient data centers (Reference: MIG-20241027).
This ambitious initiative aims to advance research in building envelope technologies, HVAC, refrigeration and heat recovery solutions, as well as advanced predictive energy management systems. The ultimate goal is to develop infrastructures such as Data Processing Centers (DPCs) that are fully carbon-neutral, while optimizing their environmental impact and maximizing energy efficiency.
A key aspect of the project is the development of an environmental digital twin, enabling real-time assessment of the environmental and energy impact of these technologies. This will support design optimization with a life-cycle approach, minimizing environmental footprints, reducing energy consumption and costs, and enhancing energy independence and flexibility.
The project brings together a solid and multidisciplinary consortium, led by COBRA, and supported by specialized companies including KEYTER (HVAC and refrigeration), Uxama (active façades), Cedrión (ionic wind cooling), Geopannel (insulation materials), and Global Factor (environmental digital twin). Additionally, renowned research centers Tecnalia, UPM, and Computaex are contributing their expertise to the initiative.
This project is subsidized by CDTI under the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan – Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
Within the framework of this project and the growing Data Center sector, KEYTER is developing a new range of water-to-water chillers and heat pumps with Turbocor magnetic levitation compressors. This new Celeste range represents the highest standard in efficiency, reliability and energy performance. Additionally, this range allows the integration of flooded spray-type evaporators, which enable a 70% reduction in refrigerant charge compared to standard flooded evaporators. The Celeste range offers the possibility of operating on either the cold or hot side, and can produce hot water up to 65°C.
Data Centers operate continuously, generating a significant amount of heat during their constant operation. Our heat recovery solutions transform this excess heat into reusable thermal energy, which can supply district heating systems, hospitals and industrial buildings. In this way, we not only reduce the environmental impact of data centers, but also provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of sectors.
