DATA CENTRE COOLING IN BEDFORD
A new data centre in Bedford is the first company to receive a £500,000 loan from the carbon trust. The project involves the cooling of a 2mW data centre which will be cooled entirely by CRECS (computer room evaporative coolers) and is expected to have a PUE of 1.1 which will make it the most energy efficient data centre in Europe.
This loan is unsecured and interest free, with no arrangement fees and a straightforward application process. The Loan can be repaid over a period of up to four years and as the scheme is designed for energy savings to cover repayments, the loan will effectively pay for itself.

WESTMINSTER UNIVERSITY

Fyvie Hall is a listed building dating back to 1912 which hosted the first public viewing of a motion picture. The room is now used for education and conferences with a capacity of up to 150 people. The design of any cooling system also had to comply with all of the constraints associated with a Grade 1 listed building
Above Fyvie hall is the board room. This is a semi glazed building with natural ventilation.
Two side discharge EcoCoolers and an extraction system were installed to provide cooling for both rooms. The existing ventilation ducts and openings were utilised to avoid any listed building implications. The EcoCooling air supply fans are installed with pre and post sound attenuation to meet the internal requirement of NC40 and local restrictions.
A combined thermostat and humidistat in each room automatically controls the temperature with a maximum relative humidity. This solution has satisfied the cooling requirements of these rooms. With less than 20% of the energy use and carbon impact of an equivalent refrigeration based cooling system this will contribute to the University of Westminster’s Sustainability and Responsibility programme.
