Are you a business owner? Then chances are high that you have IT equipment for all your crucial business needs. More and more, businesses are relying on technology to help them complete their necessary operations. That means that this technology is indispensable in today’s business environment.
Where you house your IT equipment is also something to take into consideration.Data centres and server rooms house some of the most important yet delicate equipment your business needs. The electronic components of your IT equipment are extremely sensitive to many things-- like temperature and humidity changes, exposure to moisture and water, and other factors. This includes excessive heat. So how does one go about the task of computer room air conditioning?
How cooling for computer and server rooms is different
Cooling for server rooms is a little bit different from cooling rooms meant for people. There are good reasons why the equipment used to cool off those facilities isn’t the same. This is because of the different requirements that equipment has in terms of cooling. For example:
1. Dehumidifiers, present in cooling rooms meant for people, aren’t needed in data facilities because they don’t generate humidity and moisture as people do.
2. The cooling equipment is also more compact and energy-efficient, making them cost-effective options for server facilities.
What is CRAH?
CRAH is a popular method of cooling off your server rooms! A computer room air handler (or CRAH) Is a device used in data centres to monitor and control the heat produced in the room. They differ from computer room air conditioners (or CRAC) because they use an alternative means to cool the air: they use cooling coils, fans, and a water-chiller system, much like some conventional air conditioners but more efficient. Looking to cool your server room efficiently? CRAH might be right for you.
