µRack CO₂ is CAREL’s compact controller for the management of condensing units and small transcritical CO₂ compressor racks. Its NFC and Bluetooth connectivity, used through the Applica app, extends traditional user interfaces and simplifies commissioning, monitoring and troubleshooting directly from a mobile device. The controller supports multiple rack configurations, manages compressors, gas cooler fans and valves, and integrates algorithms for system protection and energy

Maintaining indoor relative humidity between 40 and 60% is essential for health, comfort and overall building performance. In his article, Giovanni Bonesso , Application Manager, HVAC Commercial, at CAREL, examines the scientific evidence supporting this range and its impact on indoor environments. From the Scofield-Sterling diagram to the behaviour of airborne droplets and the proliferation of mould and bacteria, the article explores why RH below 40% increases dehydration a

Air handling units ensure healthy and comfortable indoor conditions by treating outdoor air and controlling temperature, humidity and CO₂. CAREL has worked in this sector for many years, constantly developing solutions that match evolving market needs. Its portfolio includes k.air and c.pco controllers, humidifiers, heat exchangers, sensors, modulating dampers, high-efficiency packages for active heat recovery, gas leakage detectors, supervisor systems and specific electrical

CAREL’s Transformation Specialist, Giacomo Picco , authored one of the most-read blog posts of the second half of 2025, dedicated to the integration of artificial intelligence into lean manufacturing. In his article, he explores how AI can enhance lean principles by optimising resource management, supporting predictive maintenance, and enabling faster, data-driven decision-making. He also examines the main challenges, including data quality and the risk of over-reliance on t

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
