TROX SHOWS REVOLUTIONARY ENERGY-SAVING TECHNOLOGY AT MIPIM 2007
12/03/2007
TROX UK will show a range of pioneering energy saving air conditioning equipment on Stand 18.08 at MIPIM 2007 to be held at Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France between March 13 and 16, 2007.
Among the state-of-the-art technology on show will be:
Multi service chilled beam systems (MSCBs) – TROX MSCBs can incorporate all the mechanical and electrical services into an attractive architecturally designed aluminium raft. Significant and logistical advantages accrue from this approach including the ability to have a high proportion of offsite pre-fabrication which improves quality and safety and avoids clashes with other building services. TROX’s beams save energy by using higher chilled water temperatures with significant periods of free cooling and using induction nozzles as opposed to fans.
CO2 mission critical cooling – This unique, award winning technology developed by TROX UX uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to absorb heat from IT equipment such as blade servers and thus offers unrivalled mission critical cooling. This ground-breaking technology, which offers 30kW of cooling per unit, saves up to 30 per cent in energy. For a 250kW system CO2 emissions are reduced by as much as 290 tonnes per year and has a negative global warming potential. It is also more efficient than air and water cooling alternatives, so the “footprint” of data centres can be reduced by 50 to 70 per cent, saving valuable space in increasingly crowded computer rooms.
VAV fan coil systems – Rather than offering constant speed, constant air volume where the fan in the unit is on full speed all day irrespective of cooling/heating requirements, TROX’s VAV fan coil systems allow the motor speed to be varied by the Building Management System. Only a small speed reduction of 20 per cent cuts in half the energy consumption. On a building of 10,000 sq m with 400 fan coils, this could equate to an energy saving of £15,000 to £20,000 per annum.
Façade air conditioning systems – TROX offers a range of air conditioning systems that are located in the façade of the building. This brings a host of benefits including no false ceiling, total flexibility with interior office layout, and no space-grabbing large plant rooms. There is also no need for terminal ductwork.
