Environmentally friendly data center for Frankfurt
Customized coolers support Mainova WebHouse data center
Data Center Reference
Green electricity
The new data center is the first for Mainova WebHouse, a subsidiary of German regional energy company Mainova, which supplies more than a million people with electricity, gas, heat and water.
As part of the company’s commitment to decarbonization, the data center campus will be supplied with 100% green electricity. Built with LEED-Gold certification, the new facility will reuse waste heat to power other buildings in the area.
Bespoke coolers
To cool the data center, the customer needed a free cooling solution that would handle heat rejection on the roof. They wanted a water-based system as this is more environmentally friendly than glycol, plus a freezing protection system and a heat exchange surface of around 5,000 square meters.
Kelvion’s R&D team in Fareham, UK, worked with the production team in Swiebodzice in Poland to create a customized prototype.
Following successful tests, we provided 20 units, each measuring 10 meters long and with 16 fans – all delivered within precise timescales.
The result
The customer was impressed by the sustainability and low energy consumption of Kelvion cooling technology and satisfied with our ability to customize our coolers to suit their requirements.
“For our project, we chose Kelvion dry coolers – providing the best technical solution, ability to customize and all within budget. They were the most sustainable having the lowest energy consumption within the competition,” said Juan Bono, Construction Director at Mainova WebHouse. "Throughout the whole project cycle, we’ve been satisfied with the technical support we have received, always meeting our demands, the on-time delivery and actual supervision on site answering any questions that we ever had throughout all of that process. It has been a pleasure to work collaboratively with Kelvion through the whole process.”
