Baltimore Aircoil Company (BAC) - Experts & Thought Leaders

Baltimore Aircoil Company, Inc. (BAC), a pioneer in sustainable cooling solutions, announces the release of its enhanced immersion cooling tank designed for high-performance data centers.  The tank is powered by CorTex™ technology and sets a new standard for reliability, flexible high-density design, and efficiency. BAC’s immersion cooling tank BAC’s immersion cooling tank is engineered to deliver consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Its patented leak-free design has no penetrations below the fluid level, ensuring fluid integrity and system reliability. Dual pumps provide redundancy, while the sealed, filter-free configuration simplifies operation and eliminates routine maintenance. Range of immersion-ready servers The tanks are now offered in multiple sizes — 16RU, 32RU, 38RU, and 48RU — allowing data centers to maximize rack density and accommodate a wide range of immersion-ready servers. Air-cooled servers can also be retrofitted for immersion cooling. Designed to support server widths of 19” and 21” and depths up to 1200 mm, each tank meets diverse infrastructure needs while maintaining a compact footprint compared to traditional air-cooled systems. The tank also helps deliver exceptional energy efficiency with a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of up to 1.05. BAC’s COBALT™ immersion cooling system The tank uses dielectric fluid to carry heat from servers to the heat exchanger, while externally it supports water or water-glycol mixtures. The lid, cable entry points and heat exchanger connections are all fluid-tight, preventing contamination and ensuring system integrity.  BAC’s immersion cooling tank, powered by patented CorTex™ technology, is the indoor cooling solution of BAC’s COBALT™ immersion cooling system, which is a complete indoor and outdoor cooling system for high-density computing. BAC’s full range of outdoor cooling solutions When paired with BAC’s full range of outdoor cooling solutions including — evaporative, hybrid, adiabatic, and dry systems — the COBALT™ system becomes a complete cooling system for leading data centers.  This future-ready solution supports higher-powered servers and greater rack densities while enabling sustainable operations for AI, machine learning, and other demanding workloads.

Baltimore Aircoil Company, Inc. (BAC) will showcase its innovative Vertex evaporative condenser at RETA 2025, the key event for industrial refrigeration professionals. The conference takes place October 20-24 at the Spokane Convention Center in Spokane, WA, where visitors can experience BAC’s latest advances first-hand at Booth 224, including the Vertex condenser, engineered for maximum uptime, enhanced serviceability, and superior corrosion resistance through advanced materials and remote monitoring capabilities. BAC will also host a Hot Point Talk dedicated to advancing best practices in CO2 refrigeration. New remote control capabilities The Vertex condenser combines evaporative cooling technology with an inherently sustainable design, delivering maximum uptime and safe access features that drive down the total cost of ownership. With its innovative direct-drive EC Fan System, the Vertex eliminates regular fan maintenance and ensures uninterrupted operation. Enhanced material options extend equipment life and reduce maintenance, while new remote control capabilities further simplify daily operations. Rapid section alignment and pre-assembly features The Vertex offers contractors the largest access door, grade-level accessibility for maintenance, internal walkways to alleviate confined space concerns, and optional pre-assembled platforms for fast, ergonomic inspections.  Designed to cut maintenance time in half, rapid section alignment and pre-assembly features yield up to 30% lower installation costs, with a low-volume basin reducing water, chemical, and operating weight by up to 16%. BAC's commitment to innovation During the conference, BAC’s Sales Assurance Engineer, Gregory Martell, will present a Hot Point Talk titled “Top 7 mistakes to avoid when commissioning CO2 condensers,” offering proven strategies for avoiding costly pitfalls and ensuring efficient system start-up.  Join BAC Tuesday, October 21 to hear how it remains committed to sustainable cooling solutions, industry leadership, and helping customers achieve reliable and efficient performance in the most demanding environments. Visit Booth 224 at the RETA Conference 2025 to experience BAC's commitment to innovation and sustainability in cooling technology.

Baltimore Aircoil Company, Inc. (BAC), whose global headquarters is based in Jessup, Maryland, has been awarded on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-pioneering statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The award list was announced on August 21st, 2025, and can be viewed on the Forbes website. Two types of employee evaluations Forbes and Statista selected America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 160,000 U.S. employees working for companies employing at least 500 people within the U.S. Over 2 million employer evaluations were considered. BAC is honored to be recognized on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025 for Maryland The final score is based on two types of employee evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry).  Based on the results of the study, BAC is honored to be recognized on the Forbes list of America’s Best-In-State Employers 2025 for Maryland! Reinforces BAC’s commitment “This recognition means a great deal to us and is a reflection of the people who make BAC what it is,” said Don Fetzer, President of BAC. “Here in Jessup, Maryland, we have our global headquarters, including a world-class R&D facility, over 200 employees, and 30% job growth over the past five years." "We’ve built a culture where innovation thrives and every team member is empowered to grow, make an impact, feel valued, and belong. I’m proud of our team and grateful for the energy they bring to our vision of reinventing cooling to sustain the world.” This reinforces BAC’s commitment to pioneering the cooling industry not only through innovative products but also through a workplace culture – not only in Maryland but around the world – that prioritizes employee well-being, collaboration, and long-term growth.
