Data Center HVAC

There are many who believe that combined heat and power (CHP) will be the norm in building design for the next generation of engineers. 

In general, we’ve made so many existing platforms “smart” in other industries (e.g., computers, phones, cars, and household appliances), but we’ve neglected the very thing that powers all the rest — electricity.

This month’s Facility File will focus on the B2B April test for an HVAC application within a financial investment facility that is doubling its datacom room to accommodate a critical business environment.

Spring is finally springing, and just as blossoms start blooming, white papers and extra engineering content on our website will start … papering? 

This month’s B2B will focus on an existing datacom room located within a 200,000-sq-ft financial business office building. The existing datacom room is being expanded from 10,000 sq ft to 20,000 sq ft.

These sensitive applications call for looking at several established humidification techniques through a particular lens. The authors not only review the processes involved in various technologies but also some relevant secondary effects, such as a change (or no change) in the air temperature, that could be especially meaningful in a data center.

Take a load off for a couple of hours and join our panel in Orlando.

Simple versus oversimple, Matchmaker versus Master, innovation versus inertia … our veteran data center expert looks back on time spent with an industry leader and looks forward with some lessons in mind.

The Buck Institute was driven to identify a mechanical system capacity that would optimize energy efficiency while minimizing overall consumption.
