Datacom facilities are predominately occupied by computers, networking equipment, electronic equipment and peripherals.
Perhaps the most defining HVAC characteristic of data and communications equipment centers is the potential for exceptionally high sensible loads in the event of cooling system failure.
A significant challenge to the cooling system designer is the ability to expand or modify a system over time due to the ratio of life cycles between the datacom equipment (1-5 years) and the cooling system (10-25 years). New and/or additional datacom equipment increases the kW per square foot, and additional cooling requires even more kW.
Understanding these parameters is critical to successful datacom facility design.
Environmental Comfort understands these challenges better than most.
Our sister company, EC Power, has been providing power solutions to the datacom space for over 25 years — as long as we have been helping designers and installers provide efficient and reliable cooling systems.
