It's no secret: data centres are energy-intensive - on the one hand due to the continuous operation of hardware, and on the other due to the energy required to cool the server rooms. This makes energy efficiency in data centres extremely important. What many people don't realise: ENGIE Refrigeration can already draw on a wealth of experience in the cooling supply of sensitive IT infrastructure - worldwide. Our team of experts for cooling and heating is continuing our success story in the South Korean market: a water-cooled QUANTUM chiller with a cooling capacity of three megawatts guarantees optimum temperature control of the IT systems at one of the largest operators of data centres in South Korea.
On site, QUANTUM Water not only helps to reliably cool the server rooms, but also ensures better energy efficiency in the data centre. This is because the chillers make a significant contribution to reducing power consumption during system start-ups and modulating peak demand. This enables dynamic optimisation of energy consumption and ensures stable, sustainable cooling. This in turn is made possible by the specific concept of the "swing chiller". With this concept, the chiller closes the gap between the base load and the peak load when cooling requirements change, thus absorbing load fluctuations and increasing energy efficiency in the data centre. Operators can count on excellent PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) values. In addition, maximum operational safety is guaranteed at all times thanks to the reliable provision of cooling. This project shows that our experts not only succeed in cooling IT server rooms in a highly reliable way with the best cooling technology. With the QUANTUM Water chillers, ENGIE Refrigeration is also setting new standards for sustainability and energy efficiency in data centres.
