Trinity College Dublin (TCD) is recognised internationally as Ireland\u2019s premier university and is ranked 14th position in the top 200 European universities by the QS World University Rankings.<\/p>\n

TCD campus, located in Dublin City Centre, occupies some 51 acres (including the Trinity Technology and Enterprise Campus).<\/p>\n

In 2019, Sirus was engaged to install energy-efficient cooling on the TCD Campus, first at the Lloyd building followed closely by the CRANN building.<\/p>\n

Lloyd Building<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Lloyd is a 5 storey building with 2 basement levels. The first basement level contains MRI rooms which require critical services cooling.<\/p>\n

Sirus installed a new high-efficiency 400 kW Air-cooled QUANTUM Turbocor Chiller<\/strong><\/a> from ENGIE Refrigeration to replace an end of life chiller which had been serving the building for the last 15+ years.<\/p>\n

A redesign of the chilled water system allowed for the incorporation of a 90 kW Mitsubishi E Series High-efficiency Chiller<\/strong><\/a>, one of the first in Ireland at the time. This chiller serves as a dedicated redundancy for MRI systems that are used in the building.<\/p>\n

Sirus also carried out BMS modifications to allow for this duty standby arrangement.<\/p>\n

CRANN Building<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The CRANN (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices) is one of the largest research institutes in Trinity College Dublin and Ireland’s leading nanoscience institute.<\/p>\n

On the roof of the CRANN building, Sirus installed one 600kW<\/strong> and one 400kW<\/strong> Engie Air-cooled QUANTUM Chiller<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to replace a 1.1MW twin screw chiller. Both chillers were installed to work in tandem to maintain building load.<\/p>\n

These new chillers from ENGIE Refrigeration come with Thermosiphon Free Cooling. This means they can potentially deliver 40% of their nominal capacity without compressor operation, using the natural convection of refrigerant.<\/p>\n

The installation of these chillers involved:<\/p>\n
