THE CHILLERS ALONE SAVED VODAFONE 10% ON THEIR ENERGY BILL COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEAR
CASE STUDY Vodafone Testing Facility
OVER £100,000 SAVED
The project was to replace Vodafone’s aging chillers which were struggling to provide smooth water temperatures to the computer equipment rooms. The project was managed as a phased approach: replacing one chiller at a time over a period of four weeks, guaranteeing the data centre had 100% up time throughout the transition. Cooltherm installed new Turbomiser chillers that matched the original chillers’ cooling capacity of 280kW at 35% efficiency, with the capability to increase up to 400kW each. The machines were designed to be more compact than the average chiller of this capacity improving service and maintenance access to a restricted ground-level chiller compound.
The new chillers now operate with precise capacity control because Turbomiser matches the required load KW per KW. The new chilled water system is now operating with a variable chilled water volume, so only the water flow needed by the building is pumped . The chillers alone saved Vodafone 10% on their energy bill compared to the previous year, with each percentage point saved saving the client over £1000.00 per month. And with green credentials in mind, 80kg of F-gas refrigerants had also been removed from site during the conversion process.
