Cooling and Ventilation

Developed by TKR data centres, the Cryocentrix control system provides a highly effective way of improving data centre efficiency.  

Comprehensive testing of the system in an existing 2MW data centre, proved that the application of Cryocentrix control lowered the average PUE to 1.33, resulting in the data centre infrastructure being some 21% more efficient.

In real terms, at current rates, this equates to savings in the region of £280K per annum in energy costs and a yearly reduction of over 1,500,000 of CO2.

Extensive testing and verification of the performance of the Cryocentrix control system took place over several months as adjustments and refinements were made to enhance the performance of the systems and controls. Results were exceptional with a PUE  between 1.1 and 1.52 achieved in a variety of conditions.
