We undertook a review and a more detailed Energy analysis to compare the running costs of existing equipment against more efficient alternatives.<br \/>\nThe cost of utilities, size of the unit, refrigerant, ambient temperatures, cooling capacity and power input are all taken into consideration to demonstrate the reduction in kWh and associated cost savings. The energy consumption and precis of the cooling equipment was then presented with several options to make improvements, along with the amount of energy that could be saved and the expected payback period. Following agreement on the improvements to be made, a full project proposal and system design was created by our in-house team for the following:<\/p>\n<h2>Free Coolers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Relocating from internal location to external location 4 off 54kW<a href=\"https:\/\/www.icscoolenergy.com\/ie\/sales\/product\/i-chiller-1-4-230kw\/\"> i-Chillers<\/a> with the addition of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icscoolenergy.com\/ie\/sales\/free-cooling\/\">Free Cooler<\/a> (reducing power costs from \u00a349k down to \u00a313k \u2013 saving \u00a336k per annum)<\/li>\n<li>Cooling Tower replacement with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icscoolenergy.com\/ie\/sales\/process-cooling-temperature-control\/chillers-heat-pumps\/\">Chiller<\/a> and Free Cooler at two sites (removing the risk of legionella and costs associated with water treatment and cleaning twice a year)<\/li>\n<li>Relocating from internal location to external location 2 off 125kW chillers with the addition of 1 off 213kW i-Chiller and a Free Cooler (reducing power costs from \u00a370k down to \u00a344k \u2013 saving \u00a326k per annum)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the project proposal was approved, the units and materials were delivered to sites, ready for the install and commissioning. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icscoolenergy.com\/ie\/sales\/services\/chiller-installation-and-turnkey-solutions\/\">full turnkey<\/a> projects are fully managed on-site by our nationwide Contracts teams to ensure the projects run smoothly.<br \/>\nAll equipment is backed-up by a planned preventative maintenance programme to keep the equipment as efficient as the day it was installed.
