Climaveneta solutions for data centres

Nowadays a Datacenter is a challenge in terms of energy, not of space, and represents one of the most complex energy management systems because of thermal heating concentration, dissipation and transportation. It is necessary to think about a Datacenter as a plant that has the electric power needed to make the servers work as the input and the calculating capacity and the heating produced as the output.

According to a recent survey IT and telecommunication energy demands are about 2% of the global energy consumption and datacenters form the biggest part of it. Furthermore, considering a 10 year timeline, that is used to represent a profitable life of a datacenter, it is easy to understand how selecting and installing leading edge technologies is vital to having an efficient site during its lifetime.

On the other side sustainability is a key factor to the design of a modern datacenter considering that more than 2% of the global CO2 emissions come from IT and telecommunications (the same amount comes from the air transport industry).

So designing and managing a Datacenter is really a complex business because of fast technological evolution, coexistence of different technologies in the same installation, increase of cooling demand, strict energy efficiency and sustainability targets. With this respect the choice of air conditioning units can really make the difference in terms of infrastructure reliability and uptime, total energy consumption and total efficiency, measured by PUE and flexibility.

Climaveneta, with more than 40 years experience in the air conditioning market, is the specialised cooling partner for datacenter projects. The leading-edge technology based on total DC Inverter across the full range grants a total active redundancy. Thanks to Climaveneta HPAC range, extra capacity now means extra efficiency, instead of extra costs.

The advantages taken from inverter technology are even more evident thanks to the smart combination of it with an advanced free cooling system. For this reason Climaveneta i-ACCURATE high precision air conditioners, available both as direct expansion and free-cooling versions, are the most efficient and reliable solution on the market today.

i-ACCURATE comes with capacities from 6 to 150 kW in the direct expansion version with air cooling (i-AXO / i-AXU) and water cooling (i-AWO / i-AWU) and capacities from 11 to 130 kW in dual fluid version (i-ADO / i-ADU and i-ATO / i-ATU) and free cooling (i-AFO / i-AFU).

Climaveneta’s proposal for datacenters also includes a cooling door suitable for 600mm wide racks, a rack cooler range both in direct expansion and water chilled version with side cooling from 4 to 33 kW, remote condensers with axial and centrifugal fans and dry coolers. Starting this year the complete range is also operating at 60hz to enter new markets and satisfy the needs of new markets.

Through an extended range of solutions for every kind of datacenter configuration Climaveneta always has a customized approach to continuously meet the most demanding needs.

An example of this concept is the smart thermal energy management, as Climaveneta is the only partner able to supply units both for IT and comfort applications, with a wide range of products and a thousand projects in any kind of building all over the world.

In the case of datacenters within a building, instead of wasting the heat removed from the server room, it is possible to effectively recover it, by creating an integrated system for cooling, heating and domestic hot water production.

That is to say by installing a Climaveneta heat pump or chiller it is possible to cool the datacenter and to recover the wasted heat to provide the comfort in the close-by rooms or for domestic hot water production. In this way it is possible to combine perfect comfort and zero energy waste, to improve the building’s green certification rating and to obtain a substantial annual saving.

Again Climaveneta presents itself as a company on the threshold of innovation and always ready to provide an answer to ever more diverse and specific requirements.

Boasting experience of more than 40 years in manufacturing units for industrial and commercial applications, Climaveneta’s range presents itself as the ideal solution to match the most demanding requirements of Datacenter designers and managers in terms of reliability, efficiency, flexibility and lowest cost of ownership.
