Main benefits & Achieved Results :
The optimization of the whole system provided an increased efficiency of the cooling system and reduced its power consumption. In addition, increased performance and level of serviceability during operation were observed.
The new installation produced energy savings of 5.04 GWh per year. The total operational expenditure savings amounted to 15 million CZK per year (equivalent to 0.6 million euros).
Presentation of the initiative:
In order to increase the availability and overall effectiveness of the cooling equipment, a high qualified technical group worked along with technical designers to design and implement the associated measures. The case involved detailed data centre audits, as well as detailed evaluation of existing energy and economics data (e.g. OPEX data). As a result, the original indoor air conditioning units were replaced with new units involving compressors, with the possibility of free cooling (DualFluid).
Commitments for the future & other relevant information:
As a complement to the issue of ICT environmental impacts, Altron is also developping cloud management solutions.
