7kW nominal capacity air conditioning units (23,855BTU/hr). Please see the individual aircon units for the sensible cooling capacity and other technical information.

If you do not have a purpose-built server room or data centre it can be difficult to control room temperatures and humidity. This time of year, our projects team are often asked to assist sites with small server rooms or computer rooms, whose temperatures will be expected to rise over the summer period and even more so during those occasional ‘heatwaves’ we have in the UK. So why is server room cooling and temperature control so important?
There are several ways to manage heat within a datacentre, computer or server room, and improve operational efficiency. Some are relatively easy and straightforward, and others require a little more planning and capital investment. Collectively, they can not only help improve operational efficiency and save costs but can help to extend the life of the assets and reduce their service costs.
Edge computing coupled with 5G mobile wireless technology promises to be the next stage in the 5th industrial revolution and to provide the bridge to many new services, some of which are still ideas in their nascent stage of ‘if I had an App for this…’
R32 refrigerant is a Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant and is used as a replacement for R410A in low temperature refrigeration and air conditioning applications. R32 cannot be used as a retrofit refrigerant.
R22 is a Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant used in air conditioners, process chillers and industrial plant cooling systems. R22 is an ozone depleting gas and EU legislation banned its stockholding and system topping up from 1st January 2016. As a result air conditioners using this refrigerant cannot be maintained and must be replaced.
Liquid immersion cooling is a cooling solution for high-density racks in server rooms (40-50kW) and datacentres that relies on heat reduction through the immersion of the server hardware in a dielectric liquid that can conduct the heat. A dielectric liquid for this type of cooling application should have good thermo-physical properties (high conductivity and specific heat), low freezing and burst points, a high atmospheric boiling point, good chemical and thermal stability, high flash and auto-ignition points, be non-corrosive to materials including metals and plastics, have no or minimal regulatory constraints and be economically viable as an alternative to air-based and gas refrigerants.
