Computer room
cooling and air conditioning
 |
As we all know very well, computers generate a lot of heat, in fact about 250 watts per hour! When you add to that a monitor, that figure can increase to more than 350 or even 400 watts. Adequate computer room air conditioning for efficient cooling therefore is a must and, as we all know, the growing number of internet users, combined with the ever increasing demand on computer business systems, means that computer rooms are becoming hotter and hotter places.
Suitable computer room air conditioning is therefore essential.
Without adequate computer room air conditioning, CPU core temperature start to rise and the servers start to operate impaired leading to malfunction or even failure.

This area is being prepared as a computer server room. In this instance, the ceiling will house Daikin air conditioning cassettes, each providing 20kw of cooling.
This system will also be wired into this customer's fire alarm system, to automatically disable the air conditioning system in the event of a fire.
Computer room air conditioning is therefore necessary not only to remove the heat generated by your equipment, but also to reduce the risk of failure.

The primary purpose of computer room air conditioning is to remove the several thousands of watts of generated heat and to keep your computer room cool. |
Another effect of excessive heat build-up in a computer room is an increased threat of fire. Most larger institutions have good systems in place to limit and prevent overheating by having already installed adequate air conditioning and C02 pumps.

Right:
Computer server rooms like the illustration to the right, are accidents waiting to happen. The room is full of combustible material, curtains, carpets and wooden furniture. As part of our computer server room air conditioning design and survey service, we are very happy to liaise with your local fire prevention officer to insure that the air conditioning system you choose, will not be compromised by ill-considered, high fire-risk, combustible fixtures and fittings. |
