Ideal for server rooms and other data centre applications, the 100kVA model, from the company’s energy efficient Multi Sentry range, has been redesigned so it fits into the existing 60-80 kVA cabinet size, offering greater compactness without compromising on efficiency.

Not only freeing up valuable floor space, the Multi Sentry 100kVA also produces less dB noise, and is 40% lighter than the previous design; making it one of the most efficient systems available on the market and boasting minimal impact on its environment and upstream power sources.

Riello’s 10-120kVA Multi Sentry range is rated as Level 6 on Riello’s unique Eco Energy Level Scale, achieving exceptional performance in its surprisingly small footprint of 0.4m2. Multi Sentry also has a range of advanced battery optimization features; extending the average working life of a battery set and reducing lifetime management costs.

The Options

There are two viable options available on the market today, LED and Induction . Both types offer high efficiency and better light rendition with an output that is closer to natural daylight than conventional SON lighting.

The Candidates

1. 100W LED Flood Light
2. 150W Induction Flood Light

Both fittings are housed in a conventional flood light housing and are a straight swap from old to new.

The Trial

We installed the two types of fittings in two separate sample areas on the car park facilities and then took light readings in the evenings and reported on the general perceived light in the car parks.

Conclusions

LED

The LED was the most expensive light fitting and offered the greatest energy saving due to the low running costs and the longevity of the LED’s. The light output wasn’t as high as the Induction and seemed to be more focussed below the fitting with very little overspill giving poor uniformity and dark spots across the car park.

Induction

Although the running costs are higher than the LED this can be”off set” against the initial outlay to  purchase the fittings. The induction are approximately £150.00 cheaper than the LED and offer a similar lamp life.

The induction wins hands down with regards to light output and uniformity. The output was a closer match to the old 400W floods. That said, they still weren’t quite up to the output of the SON’s, however the perceived light and improved uniformity gave a much better ambiance to the open areas and improved security with better CCTV coverage and clarity.

The Results

We have now completed some large car parks and HGV forecourts in the North West. The sites have given us positive feedback with regards to staff comments and energy savings.

Cliff Wallworth Micad’s Senior Operations Manager said: “SPS were excellent and despite the fact that there were manufacturing and supply problems which affected part of the equipment delivery due to worldwide weather conditions, they managed every part of the project and kept us well informed during the process”

RIELLO UPS today unveiled its new Master MHF series – a modular, scalable power protection system for ECO-targeted datacentres looking to optimize their investments in power protection.

The battery free Master MHF series is ideal for datacentres looking to reduce their carbon footprint as is 99% efficient and Smart-grid ready.

In a traditional UPS, back-up power is provided by a battery pack. The Master MHF series utilizes the kinetic energy of a flywheel to provide sufficient runtime to ride through short duration mains failures and start a generator set.

‘Effective power protection for mission critical applications’ : the new MGE Galaxy 300 provides robust and reliable power protection in the 10-40kVA space. With its double-conversion online topology, integrated bypass and compact design, it offers the most important features that customers would expect from a 3-phase UPS.

Targeted at Small and Medium Businesses looking for a simple and reliable UPS to protect their critical applications (supermarkets, small IT servers and workstations), the Galaxy 300 is designed for an easy installation and convenient daily use.

Available both in 3-to-3 and 3-to-1 phase version, the product is an excellent option for customers purchasing a UPS ocasionnally and concerned with the cost of aquisition – yet with the backup of a strong brand. Like any product from APC by Schneider-Electric, the MGE Galaxy 300 benefits from the support of the worldwide leading services organisation.

The Riello Multi Sentry is designed to meet the specific energy demands of high-density, high-pressure environments such as data centers and telecoms networks; maximising resilience, minimizing costs and optimizing energy efficiency. In fact, the exceptional quality of the design and technology used by Riello allow the Multi Sentry UPS to operate with an industry-leading on-line efficiency, which can provide up to a 50% saving in energy usage per annum compared to a traditional UPS.

Advanced technology to optimize efficiency

Multi Sentry is easy to install, and with single and three-phase compatibility utilising on-line double conversion technology, it is the ideal solution for sites that have limited power capacity, generators or problems with harmonics. It has zero-impact on its upstream power supply, and also acts as filter and phase-shift protection device.

The Multi Sentry range is rated as a Level 6 product on Riello’s unique Eco Energy Level Scale, achieving exceptional performance with a surprisingly small footprint of 0.4m2 – freeing up valuable floor-space. Multi Sentry also has a range of advanced battery optimisation features; extending the average working life of a battery set and reducing lifetime management costs.
