Air-Conditioning System Specifications
WARNING
If the air-conditioning system is shut down, “operational" conditions must be re-established,
in compliance with temperature (3
°
per hour) and hygrometry (5% per hour) gradients, AT
LEAST ONE HOUR before powering up equipment.
To optimize the air duct network, air-conditioning unit(s) must be installed in the Computer
Room or in an adjacent room. Filters must be easily accessible for regular checks and easy
cleaning.
All materials liable to fragment, disintegrate, or crumble through ageing, handling or when
subjected to conditioned air flows are prohibited. If the use of such materials cannot be
avoided, they must be coated with anti-rust paint. Ventilation ducts must be made of a
non-combustible, non-pulverulent material. Glass or mineral fibers must not be used in the
conditioned air distribution or recycling circuit, unless packed in seal-tight bags.
The effectiveness of air-conditioning unit filters must comply with the “A.S.H.R.A.E" test, >
36% (to be checked with manufacturers).
2.2.1.
Air Renewal
A fresh air supply is recommended for the comfort and health of personnel. The fresh air
supply must be directly input at air-conditioning unit level and must be filtered in compliance
with local health authority regulations (D.D.A.S.S. Regulations in France).
The Data Processing Center is over-pressurized via the fresh air supply which must be strictly
limited to 1 - 1.5 times room air per hour. Over-pressurization presents the advantage of
moving air outwards, thereby preventing dust from entering the premises.
2.2.2.
Air Distribution
Delivery of air through the raised floor plenum is the most appropriate solution. The
air-conditioning specialist must define the number and location of the perforated and / or
damper slabs required for correct air distribution.
The perforated slabs are placed on the air admission side of equipments, usually the face
side in order to create a “cold aisle”. The non-perforated slabs are placed on the air output
side of the equipment in order to create a “hot aisle”. When multiple equipment units are
laigned, air admission and air output sides must be placed face to face.
mportant It is mandatory not to install hardware or furniture on one or more
perforated / damper slabs in the Computer Room.
