下面，让我们聆听下来自世图兹的声音！
Next, let's listen to the voice from STULZ!
DTDATA记者：这个实验室为什么选择在杭州？可以承担哪些工作？
DTDATA: Why did the lab choose in Hangzhou? What jobs can it undertake?
世图兹：首先因为我们在上海的工厂空间有限，所以我们选择了在杭州建立第二个工厂，并建立了这个实验室。其次，杭州工厂会产生一些新产品，这些产品并不打算在上海工厂生产。相信杭州工厂所生产的产品，在实验室的性能测试帮助下，也是可以满足国内外客户的不同需求，并得到他们的认可。
STULZ: First of all, we have limited factory space in Shanghai, so we choseto set up an additional Test Center in Hangzhou.Secondly, the Hangzhou plant will produce some new products, which are not intended to be produced in Shanghai factory.It is believed that the products manufactured by Hangzhou factory, with the help of the test center performance testing, can also confirm and certify the different needs of customers at home and abroad, and get their recognition.
杭州工厂测试实验室有着重要的工作和意义，可以围绕客户的需求对空调机组和系统进行测试和优化，在各种条件下进行大量的测试以证明系统和组件的实际性能。实践证明，世图兹中国工厂生产的产品能够保持世图兹全球技术标准，满足全球客户在中国的生产订单，并确保客户的产品选择与产品标准得到充分满足。
Hangzhou Factory Test Center has important work and significance. It can test and help to optimize air conditioning units and systems according to customers' requirements, and carry out a wide number of tests under various conditions to prove the actual performance of the systems and components. It can prove that the products manufactured by Stulz China can maintain the global technical standards of STULZ and meet the global customers' orders for production in China, and ensure that customers product selection and product standards are fully met.
DTDATA记者：世图兹如何看待未来的市场？
DTDATA: How does STULZ see the future market?
世图兹：在我们看来，在过去2-3年，由于互联网、IT业务需求驱动，企业如腾讯、阿里、百度等建设了很多的数据中心，以及还有很多第三方建设的云数据中心，容量得到了很大的增长，相对于全球市场，中国的市场增速度明显。这对于世图兹来说是很好的机会，因为我们一直比较看好中国市场。
STULZ:In our view, in the past two to three years, due to the Internet, IT business demand-driven, enterprises such as Tencent, Ali, Baidu and other construction of a lot of data centers, as well as many cloud data centers built by third parties, capacity has been greatly increased.Compared with the global market, China's market is increasing exceptional.This is a good opportunity for Stulz, as we have always been optimistic about the Chinese market.
因为世图兹一直专注于关键制冷的产品研发与生产，我们也看到了，在过去几年里，数据中心的制冷方式已有所转变，制冷途径也已发生变化。值得骄傲的是，在关键制冷领域，不管技术需求如何变化，世图兹始终都可以满足客户不同的需求并表现很好。
Because STULZ has focused on product development and production of mission critical products.We've also seen changes in the way data centers are cooled over the past few years and are proud that in the mission croitrical data center cooling segment , no matter how technological requirements change，STULZ has always been able to meet different customer needs and perform well.
在未来几年，5G、数字化发展应该会大大促进数据中心容量增长，边缘数据中心会增加，但是持续增长并巨量的应该还是大型互联网企业的数据中心，其次是细分行业数据中心，世图兹会更注重给IDC、细分行业客户提供满意的定制化服务。
In the next few years, 5G, digital development should greatly promote the capacity growth of data centers, edge data centers will increase,but the continuous growth and huge amount should be the data center of large Internet companies. next is subdivided industry data center.STULZ will pay more attention to providing satisfactory customized service to IDC and subdivision industry customers.
DTDATA记者：世图兹如何看待数据中心能耗问题？中国和全球其他市场（欧洲、美洲）相比，有哪些不同？
DTDATA: How does STULZ view energy consumption in data centers? What are the differences between China and other markets in the world (Europe and America)?
世图兹：先说中国。在中国，政府非常重视节能，只是在过去的3-4年，很多节能技术还没有真正落地，不过在今天，相关条件已经成熟。我们看到了很多大型数据中心正在寻求更新的、更合适的制冷方式，同时我们通过订单数据发现，普通节能的设备机组已大幅减少，高效节能的设备机组数量正不断增加。
STULZ:Let's talk about China first.In China, the government attaches great importance to energy conservation, but in the past three to four years, many energy-saving technology has not really landed, but today, the relevant conditions are ripe.We see a lot of large data centers are looking for new, more appropriate cooling methods.At the same time, we found through the order data, that while the demand for standard units without focus on energy efficiency have been greatly reduced, the number of energy-efficient equipment units is increasing.
全球其他市场（如欧美）与中国相比，可能会更看重节能的效果，可以节约多少电费，降低多少成本，如客户会评估我们的空调机组在未来的3-5年可以降低多少TCO（包括安装投入、运营投入、运维投入等），但在中国不是这样的。这也不是说中国的一些数据中心不看重节能的效果，只是客户经常问的是：可以帮我们降低多少PUE？我们很抱歉无法给客户提供肯定的答案，因为PUE值计算，这应该是数据中心设计阶段设计师的工作。
Other markets around the world,such as Europe and America ,are likely to place more emphasis on energy efficiency than China more focused on how much electricity and costs can be saved. For example, customers will evaluate how much the TCO (including installation, operation and maintenance) our air conditioning units can reduced in the next 3-5 years, but this is not the case in China.That's not to say some data centers in China don't value energy savings, but customers often ask:How much PUE can it reduce for us?We're sorry we couldn't give the customer a positive answer, because PUE value calculation, which should be the job of the data center design stage designers.
另外，在招投标的时候欧洲与中国的要求不太一样。在欧洲，客户寻求由每个供应商提供的具有最低TCO的独特冷却解决方案，但是在中国，每种指定的产品至少需要三家竞标者提供具有低TCO的同样解决方案，最终选择1-2家供应商。
In addition, European and Chinese requirements are different when bidding.In Europe, customers looking for unique cooling solutions with lowest TCO offered by each supplier, but in China, each product specified requires at least three biodders offering the same thus leasving out solutions with a lower TCO which are only available from 1 or 2 suppliers.
DTDATA记者：前面我们提到了5G，随着5G时代的到来，世图兹将如何应对？
DTDATA: We mentioned 5G in front of us. With the coming of the 5G era, how will STULZ deal with it?
世图兹：其实对于世图兹而言，我们更侧重于如何为数据中心的关键制冷提供更好的制冷技术，更高效能的空调设备机组，更好的定制化服务，但我们也看到了，随着5G通信技术的发展，将会需要更多的微型数据中心给予基础设施支持，业内称之为边缘数据中心，所以，我们也正准备推出一种新的解决方案。
STULZ:In fact, for STULZ, we are more focused on how to provide better cooling technology for the key cooling system of the data center, provide more efficient air conditioning equipment units, and provide better customization services.But we also see that with the development of 5G communications technology, more micro data centers will be needed to support the infrastructure, which is called edge data centers in the industry. So we are also preparing to launch a new solution.
DTDATA记者：今年世图兹主推的（新）产品及解决方案有哪些？从终端用户的角度看，这些产品及解决方案有哪些优势？
DTDATA: what are STULZ main (new) products and solutions this year? What are the advantages of these products and solutions from the perspective of end users?
世图兹：如果要说新产品及解决方案，可以给大家介绍一下今天在杭州工厂展示的微型数据中心柜级微模块解决方案和间接蒸发自然冷却空气处理机组，在边缘数据中心与大型数据中心应用场景里，它们将成为更合适的节能方案。
STULZ:If we want to talk about new products and solutions, we can introduce the Cabinet-level micro-module solutions and indirect evaporative natural cooling air treatment units of the micro data center which are displayed in Hangzhou factory today. They will become more suitable energy-saving solutions in the application scenarios of edge data center and large data center.
其实，世图兹产品及方案当前已覆盖所有细分领域市场，包括传统的房间级制冷、高密度制冷、冷水机组、集装箱制冷模块以及绝热制冷式空气调节设备，所有系统均采用“间接自然冷却”技术，世图兹还提供“直接自然冷却”技术，用于CRAC系统、空气调节设备和模块化数据中心。
In fact, STULZ products and solutions currently cover all segments of the market, including traditional room-level refrigeration, high-density refrigeration, water chilling units, container refrigeration modules and adiabatic refrigeration air conditioning equipment,all systems using "indirect natural cooling" technology.STULZ also provides "direct natural cooling" technology for CRAC systems, air conditioning equipment and modular data centers.
DTDATA记者：PUE由绿色网格（The Green Grid,简称TGG）提出并作为国际通用的能效指标，世图兹也是绿色网格的全球会员，我们前面提到了节能，提到了PUE，虽然PUE值计算是设计师的工作，不过不能否认世图兹在降低PUE，提高能源利用率上的贡献与积极性。推进绿色数据中心发展也是我们的共同目标，世图兹中国是否有制定相关的绿色推广计划？
DTDATA: PUE is proposed by the Green Grid (TGG) as an international energy efficiency index. STULZ is also a global member of the Green Grid. We mentioned energy conservation and PUE earlier.Although the calculation of PUE value is the work of designers, we can not deny the contribution and enthusiasm of STULZ in reducing PUE and improving energy utilization rate.Promoting the development of green data centers is also our common goal. Does STULZ have relevant green promotion programs in China?
世图兹：我们知道，数据中心能耗很高，其中接近40%的能耗来自数据中心冷却设备，因此，世图兹一直肩负着重要使命——研发更节能的空调，让数据中心更节能，降低PUE，提高能源利用率。今天我们开放的测试实验室，对数据中心和空调产品节能研究与测试有着很重要的意义，感谢媒体朋友和业内朋友的关注与支持。
STULZ:We know that data center energy consumption is very high, of which nearly 40% of energy consumption comes from data center cooling equipment.Therefore, STULZ has been shouldering an important mission - to develop more energy-efficient air conditioning, make data centers more energy-efficient, reduce PUE, and improve energy utilization rate.
Today, our open test laboratory is of great significance to the research and test of energy saving for data center and air conditioning products.Thanks the media and industry friends for their concern and support.
世图兹除了是绿色网格（TGG）的全球会员，也是中国数据中心工作组（CDCC）会员，并且在去年和今年参加了DCD上海的活动。业内许多的活动，其实我们也一直有关注，我们希望可以集中精力，提供更多的节能技术与产品给大家，也希望和业内多做技术交流。
In addition to being a global member of the Green Grid (TGG), STULZ is also a member of the China Data Center Working Group (CDCC), and participated in the DCD Shanghai event last year and this year.In fact, we also have been concerned about many activities in the industry,we hope to be able to focus on providing more energy-saving technology and products to everyone, but also hope to do more technical exchanges with the industry.
