Demystifying data centre cooling

23/1/2017

Richard Metcalfe of ICS Cool Energy

With virtually every aspect of the commercial world reliant on information being transported and stored electronically, server rooms and data centres have fast become the beating heart of global communications. Here Richard Metcalfe, Sales Director at temperature control specialists ICS Cool Energy, discusses the varying ways heating and cooling engineers can get to grips with data centre cooling, and help keep their customers’ systems running in both a cost and energy-efficient way.

There’s no escaping the fact that data centres form a critical part of business infrastructure for a wide variety of market sectors. Ensuring they remain operational no matter what is a major challenge, and one that is quite different to those usually faced by temperature control contractors.

Many facilities and IT managers often fall into the trap of striving for continual performance and paying over and above what they need to for energy, so it is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure they have the most appropriate cooling system in place which won’t cost the earth.
