HVAC design requirements for data centers

Abstract

One of the things definitive for the HVAC system of a Data Center is represented by the potential, major, risk of uncontrolled heat release. Typically, these applications are vital to equipment installed, imply continuity in supply and impose special requirements for temperature, humidity and air filtration so that their failure could cause overheating and damage. Together, these parameters, called limit parameters, are required for the optimal functioning of these equipment types.
