Portable doesn’t mean temporary

Portable air conditioners are no longer just temporary fixes for data centers. They can also be simple, economical, permanent solutions.

It is vital to keep server room temperatures at 68 to 72 degrees F and relative humidity between 40 and55% to prevent failure and maximize the life of IT equipment.

Year Round Data Center Cooling

During winter, the problem still exists in many facilities due to the lack of cooling equipment functionality and high ambient temperatures from heating of the occupied space.

In summer months, the cooling capacity of the central HVAC system is usually not sufficient to combat the high density server heat which is generated by IT equipment, especially during heat waves.

Permanent Cooling In Leased Spaces • Portable cooling provides a cost-

effective solution for server rooms are located in leased facilities where landlords restrict or prohibit the installation of permanent HVAC equipment.

• It also allows tenants to get the cooling they need for as long as they need it. Portable units can be transported to the new location or returned to Atlas at anytime.

Short- or long-term portable cooling tosave on capital expenditures

Operational cost reduction is virtually a universal goal in today’s economy.

Portable cooling equipment is available on a daily, weekly, monthly or long-term rental basis to satisfy cooling requirements without the need for an unwanted capital expenditure.

Portable Coolers For Emergency backup

• Spot coolers deliver emergency cooling in the event of a power outage or a primary cooling system failure.

• Though rental units are often used for this purpose, some companies purchase one or more portable units to keep on hand for emergencies

Nighttime and weekend temperature setback for energy savings

Though many facilities operate only during business hours, data rooms must remain online “24/7”. It is a literal waste of energy and money to run the entire central building air conditioning system around the clock just to keep the data room cool.

A much more efficient approach is to install a portable cooling unit that is dedicated to the server room and set to operate when the central system is shut down or on nighttime or weekend setback .

A portable air conditioner installed for this purpose will pay for itself in HVAC energy savings in no time versus running the entire building central system.

2 Types of Portable Units

1.) Air-cooled units, which work by pumping in cool air and exhausting hot air out through ductwork.

2.) Water-cooledunits, which connect to an external water source such as a central cooling tower or chiller system.
