The CRISTOPIA thermal energy storage system has been selected for the UFIDA Software Park.
With its 25 years of experience in thermal energy storage systems, the CIAT Group, is currently the world leader in the sector. In particular, the Company installed the first Ice storage system in China in 1992, for Electro Building Shenzhen. The new UFIDA Software Park contract is one more reference to be added to the 2,000 CRISTOPIA systems in operation worldwide, including Kempinski luftansa center in Beijing and the Hong Kong Asia World Expo. More than 5,000 MWh of electrical energy are saved every day thanks to CRISTOPIA equipment. Its range of use from -33°C to +27°C and its energy efficiency levels of 20% higher than those of the other solutions on the market are among the major factors contributing to its success.

High speed Ethernet extender with build in switch
The Westermo DDW-220 is an Ethernet extender enhanced with a built-in four port Ethernet switch which allows this one unit to be used to create entire Ethernet solutions. Existing twisted pair cables can be used to establish a high speed remote connection between two Ethernet networks. With transfer rates up to 5.7 Mbits/s and with an operating distance of up to 10 kilometres at lower data rates, this is an easy-to-install alternative to fibre optic or radio systems when linking remote Ethernet networks. The DDW-220 uses a transient blocking unit on each DSL line to provide both over-current and over-voltage protection on the line allowing it to handle indirect lightning strike transients, power induction and short circuit problems.

Corus selected by Eurotunnel to increase rail life by 50%
The Channel Tunnel is the most heavily used railway line in Europe, with annual traffic of more than 100 million tons, which causes rapid degradation of the rails both in the tunnel and in the terminal loops. Studies initiated by Corus with its bainitic and MHH extra-hard heat-treated rails are aimed at increasing their life by 50%.
