Given this emphasis on quality, Aircon only partners with brand-leading product suppliers. Panasonic is a prime example of this and over the years Ian and Vincent Mahony from Panasonic have worked closely on securing and executing a broad cross-section of commercial projects.
One of the most recent is the Concentrix Call Centre in Belfast. This was a very challenging project but, by working closely together, consultants Beattie Flannigan, mechanical contractors Harvey Group and Aircon Contracts’ Manager Stevie McGarry devised and delivered the perfect solution.
The design brief was to provide cooling to a new call centre located on the old Maysfield Leisure Centre site in Belfast. Cooling was required because of the shortage of electrical power to the site. The electrical power requirement in the building was at a premium because of the nature of Concentrix’s business with an enormous power load needed for lighting, computers, servers etc. This requirement was further compounded by the high sensible heat gains generated by the large volumes of computers and lighting, not to mention a staff complement approaching 1500 people.

Dedicated hosting and shared server hosting are perhaps the 2 most used hosting services ever for running an online business. Dedicated web hosting comes with many benefits, and the biggest one is completed freedom to use every single resources of a single server dedicated to the entire website. Unlike shared hosting, this hosting has one server assigned to a particular website, which the website developer uses to upload his/her website files with complete control and freedom. Who needs such type of hosting? Those companies and websites having gigabytes of data with thousands of images pictures, videos and multimedia content along with hundreds of pages require faster loading times and the best server uptime guarantees. Dedicated hosting has one server with customer defined specifications put to the entire website usage. For other websites having huge volumes of data that need good and reliable hosting but cannot afford buy dedicated servers, use shared servers for their websites. Knownhost Dedicated Hosting allows individuals and business to let out pre-configured, connectivity and state-of-the-art equipment from a hosting service provider. Rather than simply sharing server space on a virtual server, dedicated hosting gives you the prospect to lease an entire server for your own exclusive use. A dedicated hosting involves the leasing of a complete server from a dedicated server host company. The hosting company takes the ownership, maintains, and also backs up the server while ensuring all the security, power supervision, and all other aspects of maintaining a data center. The site developer is solely responsible for the entire web server software issues. Dedicated services also comprise the lease of connectivity and pre-configured equipment from a hosting provider. The connectivity and equipment are fully controlled by the hosting firm; it also provides the customers with a customized Web server with a first-class data center facilities. The need for dedicated hosting arises out of the enlargement of the site with web developers, often moving to more sophisticated technologies which require extensive use of system resources and bigger bandwidth to serve the technology to a web browser. Considering this increased need for resources, having an entire server for your site often serves better. A dedicated hosting is also an alternative for reseller hosting businesses. With a dedicated server, you can have total control over your Web existence. You can select the software and operating system you want to use, and personalized settings for your e-commerce and multimedia requirements. Dedicated servers is also a good option for customers that require custom software or better server control but do not want to make the considerable up-front investment essential in purchasing a server.
The solution the team devised was based on larger numbers of indoor units of a lower capacity being used due to the low ceiling heights, while just under 1.2MW of Panasonic DX gas fired cooling was provided, using somewhere between 20kW and 25kW of electrical input. Full details of the equipment specifi ed were:
• 155 Panasonic VRF cassette indoor units to serve all call centre and meeting room areas;
• 13 Panasonic gas heat pump 3-pipe VRF outdoor units serving the indoors;
• Five Panasonic gas heat pump 2-pipe VRF outdoor units to server AHU DX;
• Panasonic centralised and full Modbus BMS control;
• 19 Panasonic split Hi Wall systems to serve various small UPS and comms rooms;
• Panasonic Air Off Control employed to provide a very high sensible heat ratio, 90%+;
• All indoor units were sized to meet duty at medium speed.
The Concentrix was a very complex and challenging project requiring a sophisticated solution that was high-performing, cost-effective, energy-efficient and 100% reliable. Between them the collective supplier, design and contracting team came up with the perfect answer and saw to its seamless installation and subsequent commissioning.
