Among the most-read blog posts of the second half of 2025 is an insight by Pietro Rossato , Group Chief Operations Officer at CAREL, dedicated to the evolution of global supply chains in a rapidly changing geopolitical and economic landscape. In his article, he examines how the “Globally Local” model is becoming a strategic response to trade uncertainty, rising complexity, and the need for greater resilience. By localising production and procurement closer to regional market

pCOe A-IN is CAREL’s I/O expansion board designed to increase the number of analogue inputs within a control solution. It is available with 16 analogue inputs and two 4–20 mA analogue outputs, offering a flexible and scalable option for numerous applications. Key features include DIN-rail mounting, configurable input banks, compatibility with NTC probes, 0–5 V, 0–10 V and 4–20 mA signals, a 24 Vac/Vdc power supply, and an integrated RS485 port supporting Modbus communication.

As energy systems evolve, interoperability is becoming essential for managing flexibility through smart appliances. In his latest article, Raul Simonetti , HVAC/R Corporate Business Manager at CAREL, explores how appliances and electrical grids communicate, and how emerging EU and UK schemes are shaping this interaction. He highlights the differing requirements for heat pumps and the challenges posed by fragmented regulations, noting the need for greater harmonisation across

Data centres are now essential infrastructures, supporting daily life and industrial operations. As digitalisation expands, their energy demand grows, with the International Energy Agency estimating current consumption at around 1.5% of global use, potentially rising to 3–4% by 2030 due to AI. Cooling is central to service continuity and represents a major share of auxiliary energy use. Current design trends, such as hot and cold aisle compartmentalisation, modularity and liq

Efficient environmental control is fundamental in modern paint booth applications, where temperature and humidity regulation directly influence process quality and energy performance. As the industry shifts towards more integrated solutions, understanding how these technologies interact is increasingly important. In his latest blog post, Luca Brotto , Marketing Application Manager – HVAC Industrial at CAREL, explains how adiabatic humidification, evaporative cooling and heat

As High Performance Computing increases thermal densities, liquid cooling has become essential. CAREL provides dedicated control solutions for immersion and direct-to-chip systems, ensuring accurate management and full data-centre integration. The CDU plays a central role, transferring heat to the Facility Water System. Efficiency can be enhanced through technologies such as CAREL’s Chillbooster for optimised evaporative cooling. CAREL offers c.pCO controls for in-rack and fl

Indoor spaces can be more polluted than we think. According to recent insights, indoor air may contain VOC concentrations up to five times higher than outdoor levels, with sources ranging from furnishings to everyday cleaning products . In his latest blog post, Michael Tesfaye Solomon , PhD researcher, explores how VOCs behave, why they matter for health and comfort, and how continuous monitoring and effective ventilation can significantly reduce exposure. A case study condu
