Datacenter Cooling and HVAC
Services Overview
We install and commission the cooling that keeps your racks alive: CRAC and CRAH units, in-row and close-coupled cooling, chilled water connection, ducting, containment and airflow management. Every install starts with the actual heat load per rack rather than a rule of thumb, and finishes with verification that the air is going where the design said it would.
Why It Matters
Cooling is the single most common reason a datacenter cannot use the capacity it already paid for. Halls routinely run at half their design density because of recirculation, bypass air and hot spots, not because the chillers are too small. Fixing airflow and installing the right cooling for your density is usually far cheaper than adding plant.
How It Works
01. Heat load and airflow assessment
02. Cooling strategy and unit selection
03. Installation of cooling units and pipework
04. Containment and airflow management
05. Commissioning, balancing and handover
We're here to help
Running hot, or planning a higher density deployment? Tell us your kW per rack and current setup and we will tell you honestly whether you need more cooling or better airflow.
A CRAC unit uses refrigerant and its own compressor to cool air. A CRAH unit uses chilled water from a central plant. CRAH is generally more efficient at scale, while CRAC suits smaller rooms with no chilled water infrastructure.
As a working figure, plan cooling capacity to match the IT load: a 5kW rack needs roughly 5kW of cooling. Standard air cooled halls handle around 5 to 15kW per rack. Above roughly 20kW you should be considering in-row, rear door or liquid cooling.
Almost always airflow, not capacity. Missing blanking panels, unsealed floor cutouts, no containment and badly placed vented tiles let cold air bypass the equipment and hot exhaust recirculate into intakes. It is usually fixable without buying more cooling.
Yes. We retrofit in-row units, rear door heat exchangers, containment and airflow management into live rooms, staged so your equipment stays running throughout.
Yes. Above roughly 40kW per rack, air cooling stops being practical and we move to liquid cooling. We install CDUs, direct-to-chip loops and rear door heat exchangers for exactly these workloads.
Yes. Scheduled maintenance covering filter changes, coil cleaning, condensate checks, controls and airflow verification is available under a service contract.
