Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE:EMR) and the
global leader in enabling Business-Critical Continuity™, today
announced that its Chloride Trinergy™ UPS has been added to the
Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland’s (SEAI) Triple E product
list. The list is a register of products that, under the Accelerated
Capital Allowance (ACA) scheme, allows businesses to write off the
whole cost of equipment against taxable profits in the year of
purchase, providing a financial incentive to invest in energy-saving
equipment.
“The ACA Scheme is a key part of the SEAI’s programme to promote
sustainable technologies and practices, by improving the business
case for securing energy-saving equipment,” explained Mike Le Peuple,
general manager of the Chloride Products & Services business of
Emerson Network Power in Ireland. “The ACA system provides big,
positive tax incentives to enable users to justify the purchase of
the most efficient technologies in the world. Products have to meet
formal criteria in order to be specified on the Triple E list, and
typically pay for themselves quite rapidly.”
The Triple E is a searchable listing of energy efficient equipment
and trained installers. The scheme sets minimum criteria that
products and installers are required to meet to be included on the
list. For products, these criteria are regularly updated, and ensure
that only the top 10-15 percent of the most energy efficient
products in any technology are listed. Installers must have passed
up-to-date, relevant training, and, in some circumstances, approved
manufacturer training as well.
Chloride Trinergy is the most energy efficient Class 1 UPS currently
available for protecting mission critical infrastructure, such as
Tier 3 and Tier 4 data centres, from disruptions to mains power
supply. It is the first UPS that is automatically able to select the
most appropriate of the three industry standard operating
configurations – Maximum Power Control (VFI), Maximum Energy Saving
(VFD) and Power Conditioning (VI). Its modular design means that it
can grow from 200 kW as the site requires, up to a maximum of 9.6 MW
of active power, minimising initial capital costs and avoiding the
dramatic loss of efficiency that usually results from operating UPS
at partial loads.
“Chloride Trinergy is able to provide the exact power conditioning
necessary by intelligently choosing the most efficient means of
compensating disturbances. By using only the energy necessary to
smooth out disturbances, it achieves a 4 percent to 7 percent
greater efficiency than standard medium and high power UPS,” said Le
Peuple. “Its unique architecture and technology allows it to achieve
an average working efficiency of 97.9 percent in typical data centre
conditions, resulting in outstanding energy and running cost
savings.”
