Munters Data Center Cooling Unit Achieves Seismic Certification
Munters recently received a seismic certificate of compliance in accordance with the International Code Council (ICC) and California Building Code (CBC) for its indirect air-ide economizer unit installed at a data center in southern California. The Munters unit is used in a mission critical facility designed to a CBC seismic importance factor of 1.5, requiring the unit to function properly following seismic events.
In order to meet this standard, Munters participated in a certification program consisting of structural finite element analysis of non-active components and seismic testing of active components in compliance with model code provisions and specifications.
