Sapphire Technologies starts taking orders for US-built oil-free 'high lift' compressors for air-cooled data centre chillers, up to 8,000 tons a unit
What changed
Sapphire Technologies, part of Calnetix, said on 10 November that it has launched a compressor business and is taking orders for a two-stage oil-free centrifugal compressor on active magnetic bearings, designed and built in California for the high pressure ratios that air-cooled chillers face in AI data centres. Build configurations go up to 8,000 tons of refrigeration per unit, with power electronics for AC supply or 800 V DC. The company says many chiller makers face compressor supply constraints driven by data centre growth, and that first commercial compressors will reach customers by February 2027 (company announcement).
