Data Center Cooling: Finding HVAC Contractors for Critical Facilities

Leave a Comment / Cooling & HVAC /

Why Data Center Cooling Is Different Cooling accounts for roughly 40% of a data center’s energy consumption. Unlike standard commercial HVAC, data center cooling systems operate 24/7/365 with zero tolerance for downtime. CRAC/CRAH units, chilled water systems, economizers, and liquid cooling all require contractors with specialized knowledge. Types of Data Center Cooling Systems CRAC/CRAH units
