About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

MHI Group Delivers Two Large-Capacity Centrifugal Chillers for Singapore's Marina Bay District Cooling System



TOKYO, Oct 4, 2022 - (JCN Newswire) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group companies - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. (MHI-AP) - have jointly delivered two large-capacity centrifugal chillers for a large-scale district cooling system in Singapore's Marina Bay as part of plans to expand the system. The two chillers, offerings in the "GART series", have a collective cooling capacity of 8,400 refrigeration tons (RT). and will bring the total number of centrifugal chillers provided by MHI Group to the Marina Bay area to 18.

The GART-400PLS.SCF model centrifugal chillers each have a cooling capacity of 4,200 RT, the largest capacity of all units delivered to the Marina Bay district cooling system to date. The new units can accommodate the HFO-1234ze(E) refrigerant, which is recognized for its extremely low environmental impact: a global warming potential (GWP) below 1(Note1). In addition, the GART-400PLS.SCF chillers have a near 6% higher rated coefficient of performance (COP)(Note2) and approximately 10% higher integrated part load value (IPLV)(Note3) than earlier models, enabled by the adoption of a tandem operating configuration resulting in reduced energy consumption. Carbon emissions can also be cut by 9%(Note4).

Marina Bay is Singapore's central district for business and tourism and is part of the country's plan for a sustainable live-work-play community. Designed, built and operated by SP Group, a leading utilities group and sustainable energy solutions provider in the Asia Pacific, the Marina Bay district cooling system is the world's largest underground district cooling network. The system produces chilled water centrally at two plants, which serves the air-conditioning needs of over 20 buildings in the Marina Bay district. Centrifugal chillers are critical components of the plant as they are the high-efficiency heat source devices functioning at its core.

Undergoing continuous expansion, the system will service a total of 28 buildings by 2026 and will reduce approximately 20,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year.

MHI Group was awarded the order based on its technological strength and after-sales servicing capabilities, as well as the environmental performance, economic benefits and high reliability of its centrifugal chillers - as proven through its excellent delivery record.

MHI Thermal Systems is Japan's leading manufacturer of centrifugal chillers, offering a wide variety of models for applications including district cooling/heating and factory air-conditioning. The Chiller Business Unit was started in April 2008 in Singapore, and today the team handles related marketing and servicing at MHI-AP throughout Southeast Asia, responding efficiently to local customer needs. Going forward, both companies will continue to meet customer needs and deliver centrifugal chillers with minimal environmental impact to help realize a carbon neutral world.

(1) CO2 is assigned a GWP of 1. The lower the GWP factor, the less impact there is on the environment.
(2) COP designates energy consumption efficiency calculated based on rated conditions. COP = rated cooling capacity (kW) - power consumption (kW). The higher a system's COP, the more energy-efficient it is.
(3) IPLV designates annual energy efficiency taking into consideration fluctuations in load and cooling water temperature over a one-year period of operation. The higher a system's IPLV, the more energy-efficient it is.
(4) Estimated with 3 conventional AART -280 PL.EX (cooling capacity: 2,800 RT) models based on the weather conditions in Singapore and the assumed load pattern of district cooling in Singapore.
