Energy saving solutions for data centers

Data center air-conditioning


Data center air-conditioning is essential for the correct operation of Information Technology equipment: processing and storage devices produce considerable heat that needs to be removed in order to maintain optimum operating conditions.

Worldwide data center power consumption is estimated to be 30GW, accounting for around 1.5% of the earth's total electricity usage: as a result of this astonishing level of energy consumption, energy saving solutions are increasingly adopted.
Currently the most widely implemented technological solution involves the use of Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRAC) or Close Controls Units (CCU), which cool and where necessary humidify the air in the data center.
Continuous technological development in the sector and a constant focus on energy saving are reflected in the evolution of the air-conditioning solutions adopted: from controlling air distribution to installing air-conditioners, near the heat sources, as well as using high efficiency equipment.
Moreover, air handling units can be used to deliver outside air in free cooling mode, and where possible lowering temperatures even further using adiabatic humidifiers (evaporative cooling).

CAREL and the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen! Picture the scene, you've just downloaded a fresh new piece of software onto a controller but rather than the a new interface, you're met with a big fat 'NO LINK' message on the display. Or maybe you've just ran a factory reset to default settings and have come up against the same issue?  These are all possible causes for the common problem encountered by many of our customers, deemed the 'NO LINK' screen! (capitals for emphasis) As well as the two already mentioned, other common causes of the issue are a result of: A faulty connection between the Controller and the Display A faulty Controller  In any case, this issue is relatively simple to fix and our Managing Director, Stefano - having been in the Industry for 15+ years - has put together a video guide on how to do so. Watch the video below to see how to overcome the dreaded 'NO LINK' Screen!   www.i-acs.co.uk

For those who think that the new generation of innovative, automated HVAC control systems are a far-off thought, think again!  The new c.pCO Range by CAREL marks the arrival of their most intelligent range of controllers yet. Despite their compact design, the c.pCO Controllers are packed with new and exciting technologies offering a highly integrated solution to any kind of BMS System.  The versatile nature of the new standard controller (2 Ethernet, USB & RS485 Inputs Built In) opens doors to a wide range of communication protocols such as Modbus, BACNet,  HTTP, FTP  and loads more. The video below offers a detailed look into the new features and benefits of the c.pCO range. Worried about having to do a lot of work to replace older controllers? As if this wasn't enough, all c.pCO Controllers offer pin-to-pin compatibility with pCO5+, pCO5 and pCO3 controllers.  Get in touch now for more information! Peter Campbell Marketing

Remote management and communication solutions

Systems of monitoring and supervision carry out a role key in the management incorporated of the systems HVAC/R. These are essential instruments for continuously and effectively controlling the status of field devices and recording temperature and events in compliance with HACCP regulations. They can perform scheduled actions (e.g. lights on/off, etc.) and optimise the organisation of maintenance operations through effective alarm management. The immediate signalling of alarms by SMS, e-mail and/or fax means the installation is always under control, while the remote system can be used to resolve several problems quickly, without need to go on-site, ensuring economic savings and faster response times. The system offers various reporting options, including standards-compliant print-outs at programmable times. In addition, critical situations can be highlighted relating to the trend in values such as temperature, pressure and power consumption, comparing values
