BAC to showcase cooling solutions at the 2026 AHR Expo
BAC to feature its Nexus modular hybrid cooler, AHR Innovation Award Finalist immersion cooling tank powered by CorTex technology and aftermarket parts at booth C4507.

Baltimore Aircoil Company, Inc. (BAC) will spotlight its latest products in cooling at the 2026 AHR Expo at booth C4507. Bill McQuade, current ASHRAE President, is a BAC employee. BAC is also recognized as an AHR Expo Innovation Award finalist in the Cooling category for its immersion cooling tank powered by CorTex technology.
BAC will showcase the Nexus modular hybrid cooler with PuriStream water treatment system for HVAC and light industrial applications with touchscreen intelligent and intuitive controls that automatically balance water and energy use, aiming to deliver low installation and operating costs, maximum uptime and reduced maintenance. Nexus cooler is a compact footprint designed for constrained urban or indoor mechanical spaces. With hybrid, evaporative and dry capability, the Nexus cooler aims to help customers meet increasingly stringent energy codes and sustainability targets while simplifying system design.
BAC will also feature a data center‑focused model that integrates indoor immersion technology with its broad portfolio of outdoor evaporative, hybrid, adiabatic and dry systems. Together, these solutions form the COBALT immersion cooling system, a complete cooling architecture that supports higher‑powered servers and greater rack densities while enabling more sustainable, lower‑emission operations for AI, machine learning and other high‑intensity workloads.
Also highlighted is the upgraded immersion cooling tank, an AHR Expo Innovation Awards finalist in the Cooling category, engineered for high‑performance data centers and AI‑driven workloads. Powered by patented CorTex technology, the tank delivers Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) as low as 1.05 in multiple sizes, including 16RU, 32RU, 38RU, and 48RU, to support both immersion‑ready andr54 retrofitted air‑cooled servers. Its patented leak-free design has no penetrations below the fluid level. Up to four pumps provide redundancy, while the sealed, filter-free configuration aims to simplify operation and eliminates routine maintenance for mission critical environments. The tank uses dielectric fluid to carry heat from servers to the heat exchanger, while externally it supports water or water-glycol mixtures. The optional lid, cable entry points and heat exchanger connections are all fluid-tight, preventing contamination and ensuring system integrity for mission‑critical environments. BAC’s immersion cooling tank has also been certified as part of the Intel Data Center Certified Solution for Immersion Cooling for fourth and fifth-generation Xeon processors.
To help operators quickly quantify potential gains, BAC offers an Immersion Cooling Impact calculator available at https://baltimoreaircoil.com/immersion-cooling-impact that estimates energy savings, PUE improvements, and emissions reductions when transitioning from traditional air‑cooled designs to BAC’s immersion cooling tank.
BAC will be at Booth C4507 at the 2026 AHR Expo.
