In small or remote critical facilities, essential equipment for a reliable operation is frequently overlooked in favor of other aspects of the planning process. However, achieving critical continuity is dependent on power and environmental support systems as advanced networking equipment. The high sensitivity of electronic components in data center and networking environments means that temperature, humidity, air movement, and air cleanliness must be kept consistent and within specific limits to prevent untimely equipment failures and costly downtime.
Thermal Management systems unlike comfort air conditioners such as window/split/package type comfort AC are specifically engineered for facilities that require year-round constant cooling, precise humidity control, and a higher cooling capacity per square foot.
In this application note, we shall put some light on optimum thermal management solutions in small technological rooms mentioning challenges, prerequisite parameters, and Vertiv’s solution. A detailed competitive study between critical thermal management and comfort solutions are explained in the paper.
