Vertiv Holdings has announced the successful completion of its previously reported intent to acquire Purge Rite Intermediate, a provider of mechanical flushing, purging and filtration services for data centres and other mission-critical facilities.
The approximately $1-billion acquisition enhances Vertiv’s thermal management services capabilities.
“We are excited to officially welcome PurgeRite to Vertiv, expanding to deepen our fluid management services capabilities,” says Gio Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. “PurgeRite’s specialised expertise in fluid management services complements our existing portfolio and enhances our ability to provide end-to-end product and service support for customers’ high-density computing and AI applications where efficient thermal management is critical to performance and reliability.”
High-performance computing (HPC) and the AI factories require liquid cooling technology to operate, and it is crucial to deploy and maintain clean fluid loops to maximise cooling performance.
Achieving this starts with optimal flow at commissioning by establishing ultra-clean, air-free, chemically stable coolant, and preserving that balance to maintain performance throughout the system’s lifecycle.
The integration of PurgeRite’s capabilities with Vertiv’s existing thermal management portfolio is expected to offer significant customer benefits, including enhanced system performance through improved heat transfer and equipment efficiency, reduced risk of downtime through operational excellence, and expanded service scale supporting global operations with consistent quality.
