ABOUT THE PROJECT

It is Facebook's first construction outside the US, and for this they selected Luleå, close to the Arctic circle, precisely because of the possibility of using natural cooling for the enormous facility.

Facebook's server facility in Luleå is expected to be as large as 13 football fields, with an estimated power usage of 120 GW, corresponding to the power use of about 16,000 households.

The facility will have substantially lower energy consumption as well as lower set-up and operational costs in comparison to other modern data centres, and together with Facebook's two data centres in the US, it will be one of the world's most energy efficient facilities.

THE SOLUTION

In this project, the ZerAx is a key cornerstone in ensuring that the energy consumption is significantly reduced in comparison with similar products.

We deliver a complete, automated solution, including supervision and installation.

The automatic solution is based on the thoroughly tested system that is used in Novenco's Parking System.

Fully automatic stand-alone control for each ZerAx "wall", with network connection to all the other machines in the system, enabling general control and monitoring but also intelligent exchange of operational status so that other systems can take over in case of errors with an individual system.

The system is built with the newest PLC system with a colour touch screen, as well as a fully duplicated frequency transformer set-up as backup.

FACTS

Efficiency of up to 90%
Sound levels reduced to 84 dBa
Saved about 365 tonnes CO2 per year
