"Minkels has reckoned that an energy reduction of at least 30 to 40 percent is feasible just by installing aisle containment infrastructure, called Cold Corridors by Minkels, but the actual energy and cost savings depend on user-specific situations. The Minkels ROI Calculation Tool, extensively described in this white paper is helping users to determine their achievable returns." The Minkels white paper, 'ROI Calculation Tool - Evaluate the return on investment (ROI) of an aisle containment,' provides a calculation model and all the ingredients required to make the right calculations for a user-specific ROI. These ROI calculation ingredients include for example aisle containment costs and airflow optimization. "This whitepaper is packed with hands-on technical information required for aisle containment investment decision making," said Christiaan van Terheijden, CEO of Minkels. "All this is framed by a managerial context providing data center operators the ability to monetize the real efficiency value of aisle containment deployments and calculate the actual return on investment of user-specific layouts. An Atos customer case study and the inclusion of some tax incentive suggestions for energy efficient data center equipment make the managerial value complete." Isolating hot airflows from cold airflows through aisle containment application saves on energy costs while ensuring that the IT equipment is being cooled within the manufacturers' specifications. It also prevents the emergence of hot spots which can cause equipment failure and data center outages. Further, when deploying high-density infrastructure for Big Data or IoT purposes, aisle containment ensures optimal operating efficiencies by a uniform distribution of cooling air temperature. Cooling systems and also power infrastructure are the other main ingredients for establishing energy efficient, predictable and reliable data center infrastructure. Circuit Breaker Sales Northeast Acquires Sertec Relay Services Circuit Breaker Sales Northeast, Inc. (CBS Northeast) has acquired of the assets of protective relay specialist service company Sertec, LLC. Sertec specializes in buying, selling, and repairing protective relays and other specialty electrical equipment and will operate as a division of CBS Northeast. "The addition of this one-of-a-kind specialty protective relay and electronics service facility further complements Group CBS' strong technical commitment to the industry," said Bill Schofield, senior vice president of Business Development at Group CBS. Sertec's facilities and inventory in Wallingford, CT, were included in the acquisition. Financial details of the deal were not released. Paul Body, long-time principal of Sertec, will expand his role in the business going forward and serve as a director in the Group CBS' Northeast operations and expansion. www.ElectronicsProtectionMagazine.com * Spring 2016 27 http://www.sensorsexpo.com http://www.dlsemc.com http://www.ieee.org http://www.iotna.com http://www.thermalnews.com http://www.imaps.org/hitec/ http://www.ospmag.com http://www.ieee-itherm.org http://www.ElectronicsProtectionMagazine.com
