Data Centers
Mission-critical cooling and redundancy for high-density server environments. Specialized execution for Houston's most demanding environments.
Request ProposalData centers represent the pinnacle of mission-critical infrastructure. In these environments, HVAC is not just about comfort—it is a vital component of IT asset protection and uptime assurance. We specialize in designing and installing high-precision cooling systems that manage heat loads for high-density server racks while optimizing Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
Our Process
Our approach begins with a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis to understand airflow patterns and heat hotspots. We then design a cooling architecture that may include CRAC/CRAH units, in-row cooling, or liquid cooling solutions, ensuring N+1 or 2N redundancy to meet Tier III and Tier IV standards.
Key Benefits
- Zero Downtime Architecture: Redundant systems ensure continuous cooling even during maintenance or failure.
- Energy Efficiency: Implementation of hot/cold aisle containment and free cooling strategies to lower operational costs.
- Precise Environmental Control: Strict regulation of temperature and humidity to prevent static discharge and condensation.
What's Included
Overview
From edge computing facilities to hyperscale data centers, our team delivers cooling infrastructure that scales with your compute density. We understand the critical nature of thermal management in the digital age.
Common Situations
We frequently address challenges such as creating cooling capacity for higher density rack deployments, resolving hotspots in legacy raised-floor environments, and retrofitting controls for better visibility and management.
Compliance & Standards
Our installations adhere to ASHRAE TC 9.9 thermal guidelines for data processing environments and support LEED certification goals for energy efficiency.
