Humidity Control and Evaporative Cooling
HVAC in the cloud
CAREL SHOWCASED ITS new boss one de- vice at Data Centre World in London last month. CAREL showcased solutions for indirect evaporative cooling in data centres and demon- strated energy savings for specific applications. Optimal performance monitoring can help ensure improved efficiency and lower energy consumption. Detailed information is critical for optimising infrastructure and ensuring
faster local and remote troubleshooting.
“USERS CAN CUSTOMISE THE BOSS ONE INTERFACE.”
The complexity of DCIM systems, together with cyber-security problems, require an evolu- tion of the traditional paradigms.
As a result, CAREL presented the new boss one device, a web interface for programmable controllers, used to manage the parameters and status of HVAC units, as well as coordinate alarm signals and share variables not only with BMS systems, but also with cloud solutions.
The need for confidential data transfer, es- sential for the intended application, has led to the creation of a tool that ensures a secure and
encrypted interaction even with external sys- tems, using the latest and most reliable com- munication protocols to connect to a wide range of external centralised systems.
Finally, the flexibility of boss one is further enhanced by the possibility to customise the in- terface and easily navigate all the pages from mobile devices, for both programming and eve- ryday use.
The popularity of DCIM systems is also a re- sult of the advantages of monitoring data cen- tre infrastructures to optimise energy con- sumption and maintain uptime. The spread of fog computing means there will be even greater demand, with the need to monitor multiple re- mote locations.
CAREL’s group marketing manager for In- dustrial HVAC, Enrico Boscaro, examined this topic during his speech at the conference.
The presentation was entitled EdgeDCIM - An architecture for Edge data centres infra- structure monitoring.
EdgeDCIM is an architecture that consists of edge devices that monitor the essential infra- structure of micro data centres and are con- nected to a cloud system for data aggregation.
Reflecting the same architecture as edge computing, this combines the local processing and fast response of edge systems with the data presentation and analysis of a centralised sys- tem, guaranteeing reliability and efficiency. ✺
