A 95% more efficient telecom cooling system.

Author(s) : TÖBBEN D., GRÄPPI M.

Summary

Reduction in investment of over 100 million euros reduction and more than 5 million euros per annum in operating costs for cooling telecom systems, combined with a higher level of cooling availability and in particular of the telecom technology; these are the consequences of a very special paradigm change in the cooling of telecom systems. The use of the new cooling system will enable Swisscom alone to make savings of around 70 000 MWh in electricity throughout Switzerland, with investments being reduced by more than 100 million euros. The sustainability can also be seen in the drastic reduction in refrigerant quantities and generally lower material flows. However, the solution strategies are not only attractive to other telecom providers but also offer valuable input for future computer centre cooling systems.
