“Airedale designs and manufactures robust and reliable cooling equipment and we work with them, bringing together our science and perspective as a data centre operator and Airedale’s design and engineering expertise, to produce greener solutions.“ ~Dr Adam Beaumont, CEO of aql aql Data Centers aql (a communications company based in Leeds) has been working with Airdale International (an air conditioning company) to set up a prototype heat recycling system for aql’s data centers. The recycled heat would be used to heat a 300 person City Conference Center as well as to The Tetley, large-scale gallery and exhibition space run by Project Space Leeds. “The Tetley is a large-scale gallery and exhibition space. The challenge for any art organization is long-term sustainability and self-sufficiency, and the opportunity to save what could be a significant heating cost is a step towards this goal.” Kerry Harker, Co-Founder & Director of Project Space Leeds Our latest project with Airedale is to investigate the feasibility of building a prototype district heating scheme capable of providing several hundred kilowatts of heating by ‘recycling’ waste heat from our data centres. ~Dr Adam Beaumont, CEO of aql
