The year is passing us by very quickly and sadly, it will soon be Christmas. Summer holiday have come and gone and time to get all the Data Centre projects under way, and finish off the little nippy bits and pieces that are hanging about making productivity look bad.
My main focus at the moment is in adding to and upgrading our HVAC installation in our Imperial Way site. The existing units are in excess of ten years old and have performed admirably, sometimes over and above the call of duty in keeping the IT systems cool.
When they were designed, the criteria was for an external ambient temperature of 29degC. Sadly, in these days of Global Warming and Climate Change this figure now appears to be incredibly low. I am now looking at a design ambient of 35degC, which was unheard of a few years ago.
The issue is now how best to swap out the units without impacting the current cooling effort. Not only can we not afford to lose anything (again) but we also need to make space to install a further two new units.
This project will become a tagged update list as it proceeds
