Data centre banks on Star for cool solution

Star Refrigeration has installed a bespoke cooling system at a UK data centre operated by a major financial institution for retail and commercial banking.

Star replaced an existing R22 refrigeration plant with a highly energy efficient, low maintenance solution, providing the banking client with a state-of-the-art data centre cooling system designed for low carbon, cost saving operation.

The new cooling system features four 1100kW chillers operating on synthetic refrigerant R134a. The design incorporates oil-free Turbocor compressors, with variable speed drives and high efficiency at full and part load.
