Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) Mechatronics graduate Andrius Dzedzickis’ innovation – the mechatronic climate management and energy costs‘ control system, has been successfully installed in a business venture, hosting Web services. For the first time Lithuanian engineers introduced such climate control system to the entrepreneurs of our country: recently, climate control systems, designed exclusively by foreigners, have been used in Lithuania.

 

The climate management and energy costs‘ control system, created by Andrius Dzedzickis, reacts to the changes of temperature, humidity, noise of the premises, and saves energy costs. It warns building administrators about climate changes in the premises, also, while regulating ventilation and conditioning systems, is able to ensure the required temperature.

 

"As far as I know, there are no similar technologies, created by Lithuanian engineers, but many alternative systems with similar functions, exist abroad. My system, in contrast to the other existing systems in the market, is "smarter" and not only informs the maintenance staff about the climate changes in the premises, but can also adjust and manage the relevant systems itself,"– introduced his innovation, created during his Master‘s degree studies A. Dzedzickis, who is now continuing his doctoral studies at VGTU.

 

The system, installed in the enterprise "Elneta" in May, has been tested throughout all summer. Recently, it is finally tuned up and is running in a servers‘ room of thirty computers. The system, designed at VGTU, measures temperature, noise, humidity, energy consumption, and does not only control the climate of the premises, but manages the additional devices, too. If necessary, the functions of door opening, water and smoke sensors, measurement of humidity and lighting level can be installed into the system.

 

Such climate management and energy costs‘ control systems are of particular importance in the larger servers‘ rooms, where even a single indicator may disrupt the work from thirty to sixty and more computers or damage them, because after the temperature increase, in ten or twenty minutes they start switching off automatically.
