\"frozen-glass\"Air conditioning in a business is about more than providing a comfortable environment for employees, customers, clients, and tenants. Proper cooling is essential for process and to protect equipment, and this applies to small businesses as well as to large industrial facilities that require chillers<\/a> to keep machinery from overheating.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one type of commercial cooling the majority of businesses of all sizes have in common: server room cooling. No part of your business\u2019 HVAC system should ever be left to amateurs or building \u201chandymen,\u201d but it is especially important to have skilled professionals manage the installation, maintenance, and any repairs for a server\/computer room cooling system.<\/p>\n

Why Server Room Cooling Is Vital<\/h3>\n

If you run a small business, you might be tempted to think that all your server room has to have to stay at the right temperature is a fan, a portable AC unit, or simply leaving the door open for the air conditioning and airflow from the rest of the space to cool it off. Or perhaps you\u2019re tempted to look up a list of \u201cserver room cooling tricks\u201d on line.<\/p>\n

But this is a serious mistake! The equipment in this room is sensitive to high temperatures\u2014and unfortunately the equipment generates its own heat. The heat inside the room will rapidly reach temperatures that will cause equipment failure and data loss. Your whole business could be shut down because of improper server room cooling!<\/p>\n

Server Room Cooling Requires Professionals<\/h3>\n

The reason simply placing a fan or a portable AC unit inside a server room doesn\u2019t work, and why an inexperienced technician cannot handle installing a cooling system for a server room, is that there\u2019s no single \u201ccorrect\u201d temperature when it comes to these spaces. It varies depending on the space size and the equipment. There\u2019s no \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d solution.<\/p>\n

In general, a server room should not be colder than 10\u00b0C or hotter than 28\u00b0C. This, you probably have noticed, is a wide range of temperatures\u2014and it takes experienced professionals who work with many types of commercial cooling needs to find the ideal conditions for a specific server room.<\/p>\n
