The client, Cork Internet Exchange (CIX), recently invested in an ICS Cool Energy’s Aptus free cooling system for their 20,000 sq. ft. data centre in Southern Ireland. The Aptus units were installed on the roof of the CIX’s data centre.
Aptus units work by using the low external air temperatures to send chilled water to the computer room air conditioners inside the data centre. This free cooling technology is capable of achieving high energy efficiency ratios at both full and part load conditions – with the result that the data centre only has to run the compressors for approximately 3,000 hours per year, with the remaining 5,760 hours requiring power to run the pumps and fans only.
At a time when energy costs are set to rise, this level of energy saving is enormous and the combined benefits of the reduced running hours of the compressors with the longer life expectancy of the Aptus units, makes free cooling chillers a good all round cooling solution.
Jerry Sweeney, Managing Director at CIX explained their requirements: “We needed a cooling vendor to supply us with a durable cooling system with a good support contact and a dependable 24/7 service support. ICS Cool Energy Limited provides us with all of these capabilities and we are very happy to be working with them.”
Speaking of the awards ceremony, Adam Spolnik, Director at ICS Cool Energy said, “We are thrilled to have been able to make a difference to our client’s energy usage and costs; and extremely proud to have been nominated for this prestigious award. We hope that others feel that we deserve the award for this project and vote for us.”
