Computer Room Air Conditioning
Computer rooms require tight control of
temperature, humidity and cleanliness. Dedicated precision computer room air
conditioners are used to obtain the control and efficiency needed. Standard air
conditioning is designed to remove heat and moisture. Approximately 1/3 of their
capacity and energy usage is to remove humidity. Well designed computer rooms do
not have high humidity infiltration, nor internally produced humidity. Using a
traditional design air conditioner will require excessive re-humidification to
prevent low humidity levels and the static electricity that results. Running a
humidifier, except for ultrasonic types, costs as much as running compressors.
Therefore life cycle operating cost is reduced with precision computer room air
conditioning. Further the quality and reliability of a computer room air
conditioner is higher.
Computer room air conditioning is available in
a wide variety of configurations, including:
