More and more data centers are being constructed and commissioned to keep up with the growing boom of internet data. However, older aging data centers are increasingly requiring routine maintenance to sustain process operations. So what to do when a building’s vital cooling system must go offline in order to facilitate construction needs or maintenance/repair issues? Many data center operators are turning to rental HVAC solutions for their plan B.
Data center temperatures exceeding optimal levels can lead to huge problems for the hardware within the building. Allowing this hardware to get too hot can lead to shutdowns and downtime, which means clients can’t get the service that they have paid for. HVAC equipment providers can get chillers, cooling towers, and air conditioners into place very quickly to meet immediate data center cooling system requirements. In many situations, these engineered HVAC solutions also help data center managers improve their balance sheet by avoiding high-cost capital expenditure (CAPEX) commitments on short- to mid-term duration needs.
