Data Centres (DCs) are predicted as being a significant user of Irish energy resources in the future. Innovative renewable energy solutions will be required to meet this demand and minimise the need for grid reinforcement. ALG has advised on such solutions for DCs with renewable energy operators. The Climate Action Plan 2019 (the Plan) references […]
The Condair ME evaporative humidifier is providing adiabatic cooling in an innovative indirect cooling system from EDPAC at the Cork Internet Exchange (CIX) in Ireland. EDPAC’s indirect air-to-air evaporative cooling system will be maintaining the temperature across CIX’s data halls without using any chillers and with 75% less energy than a traditionally cooled data centre. […]
The performance and sustainability of HVAC heat exchangers has been a subject for debate given their construction and external exposure to the elements, corrosion is inevitable, as are the subsequent losses in performance and shortened equipment life cycle. However, these factors can be combated with the application of an effective anti-corrosion protection for the casing, […]
Energia’s investment has the potential to create up to 5,000 new jobs over the next 5 years. Energia announced on Monday that they have plans to invest over €3 billion into renewable energy technology and infrastructure around Ireland. This investment is set to generate up to 5,000 construction jobs over the coming years, as well […]
The Southeast Asian giant K2 Data Centres has submitted plans for two more large data centres at Ballycoolin in northwest Dublin. According to a report in the Times, K2 is set to invest hundreds of millions of euros into this project. This will involve building two three-storey data centres of almost 29,000 sq metres each. […]
Introduction Environmental legislation in Ireland is principally administered and enforced in three ways: (i) by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); (ii) by local authorities throughout Ireland and (iii) by the courts. The Minister for the Communications, Climate Action & Environment has an important policy setting role and the Health & Safety Authority is responsible for […]
Monitoring the load on the power network and ensuring that each process is accurately costed provides clarity of operation and control of costs. Frer’s range of multifunction meters with onboard communication presents a range of tools by which the recording of energy consumed on a network can be easily, accurately and efficiently captured, costed and […]
Data centre investment in Ireland is set to reach over €10bn ($11.2bn) by 2022, according to the just -published Q1 report from Host In Ireland. The infrastructure being deployed is already underpinning over 100,000 jobs in the ICT sector for the Irish economy, says the report. Host in Ireland is an industry-led initiative specifically developed […]
T5 Data Centres is looking to make Ireland its first venture outside of the US as it is involved in plans to build a new data centre in Dublin. T5 and Clonmont Development group are doing this as a joint venture, and they are looking for permission for a 9,520 square metre development, which will […]
When developing the JAEGGI ADC High Density, achieving maximum power density was a key priority. These units are therefore ideal for high-power applications such as the cooling of IT systems. Extremely compact, enormously powerful Even in dry operation, the extremely compact cube with a minimal footprint offers huge power and thus a high switch point […]
