Luisa Cardani, Head of Data Centres at techUK added: "As our 最近的报告 概述了, the data centre industry is committed to sustainable practices and addressing the challenges ahead is imperative for the successful integration of data centre heat into district heating networks. It is encouraging to see key stakeholders from different parts of industry and public officials come together to collaborate and discuss how heat re-use could support the local communities of Manchester and to ensure long-term viability and alignment with sustainability goals."
The new data centre (MCR2) is being developed next door to Datum’s existing Manchester facility and the most up to date sustainability best practices and standards are being embedded across all parts of the build process, 从设计到实现.
The system is being designed so that heat exchangers can be used to transfer the thermal load of the data centre cooling loop to a local community heating network via a heat pump system, which will also reduce the amount of energy needed to deliver the required data centre cooling operation.
