Vexve supplies valves for cooling networks and heat recovery systems in data centre server halls, as well as for heat pump plants and district energy networks. A wide range of sizes, excellent availability, expert support and comprehensive technical documentation help make projects easier to design and implement.

Reliable valve solutions play an important role in data centre cooling systems and waste heat recovery, as well as in the heat pump plants and district energy solutions connected to them. Vexve offers a comprehensive range of valves designed to support reliable system operation.

“We can provide valves and actuators for practically the entire system, from internal cooling networks within the data centre all the way to underground district energy networks,” says Jari Randell, Business Development Director at Vexve.

Vexve’s portfolio includes stainless steel ball valves and balancing valves, electric and hydraulic actuators, as well as smart monitoring solutions. For data centre applications, stainless steel valves are available in sizes up to DN 300, while steel valves for district energy applications are available in sizes up to DN 1600.

“Good product availability is particularly important for data centre projects with tight schedules, where large quantities of valves in the same sizes may be required,” Randell notes.

Stainless steel and welded structure enhance operational reliability

For internal data centre systems, one of Vexve’s key strengths is its stainless steel valve with welded ends. Compared with other connection methods, the welded structure provides a highly reliable solution and helps improve overall system reliability.

Benefits of welded stainless steel valves:

• fewer connections and seals
• lighter structure
• good corrosion resistance
• a suitable solution for cooling networks
• designed for long service life

“The welded construction of our valves has been used in district energy networks for decades. The same characteristics also benefit data centres, where cleanliness and system reliability are particularly important,” Randell explains.

Balancing valves combine balancing and shut-off functions

Vexve’s balancing valves combine flow balancing and shut-off functions in a single product. These dual-function balancing valves are well suited to data centre cooling and heat recovery systems.

“Using one valve for two functions saves space. It also simplifies the overall design, installation and maintenance of the system,” Randell says.

Technical support and documentation make data centre design more efficient

Vexve’s technical expertise and comprehensive documentation support designers of data centres and district energy networks. Vexve provides CAD models, technical specifications, and balancing and installation instructions to make it easier to specify suitable valve products.

“The necessary design materials are easy to access, and our experts are available to provide support during project design and commissioning, as well as after the project has been completed,” Randell says.

Developers and contractors working on data centres and district energy networks also value Vexve’s delivery capabilities.

“Our extensive experience of demanding conditions in district energy networks also benefits data centre applications. Customers value having access not only to the right products, but also to expertise and a strong understanding of energy networks,” Randell concludes.
