COOLING

Liebert DS CRAC unit

Precision grade cooling is the key to best practices for cooling server rooms. The CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioner) includes cooling, humidification, dehumidification, low ambient cooling controls, and rugged construction to operate 7x24 over their lifetime. Temperature and Humidity should be controlled to meet ASHRAE guidelines. Redundancy (n+1) is key to allowing concurrent maintenance and operation during a failure of one of the primary CRAC units.
