Data centres and telecoms climate control

The servers, devices and other equipment used in data centres and telecoms is often very susceptible to fluctuations in temperature, humidity and air quality. As this equipment is pivotal in the storage of essential data or the availability of networks, any failure can be expensive to repair or replace, as well as extremely costly in terms of downtime.

With these costs and wider ramifications in mind, climate control technology is crucial to protecting the equipment in data centres and telecoms shelters in the long term.

Overheating is one of the main threats to the equipment inside data centres and telecom shelters. Servers and devices generate a substantial amount of heat, and if this is not managed, it can cause disastrous malfunctions and breakdowns.

Another issue is excessively high or low humidity. When moisture levels are too high, the water in the air can infiltrate and possibly damage electrical equipment. Alternatively, when the humidity is too low, static electricity can be generated, again putting any technology in the room at risk.

Finally, small particles and pollutants, such as dust and sand, can also get inside equipment and cause damage, which is why it is important the air in these areas is well-filtered.

There are several solutions you can implement to improve your data centre or telecom facility’s climate management, including:

• Free cooling, air-conditioning or hybrid solutions that offer enhanced cooling efficiency
• Dehumidifiers that ensure the humidity level is kept at a comfortable, safe level
• Ventilation systems that inject fresh, clean air into the area and extract contaminants
• Air cleaners that capture any dust or harmful particles in the vicinity

Yes. Our climate control systems are engineered for tough climates, from extreme heat to the coldest landscapes. We understand the tough conditions these buildings often reside in, and rigorously test all models to ensure they perform well without fail, with minimal maintenance demands.
