working in the server room

[torledo]

We dont have aircon, we have to open our windows. its quite cool in there in terms of temperature...46 degrees?!

 

What you really need to is find a more efficient way of expelling the heat. Thats really the cheapest way of reducing the temperature if you can't cool and extract heat with a traditional A/C unit and/or air extraction system.

 

APC do a little heat extractor/fan that fits into a suspended ceiling grid and expels heat into the suspended ceiling void (£400), would work great with a rack as you could locate it just behind and above the server rack in the path of the exhaust heat from the equipment and great if you've got a suspended ceiling. But something tells me you haven't. 8)

I find the best way to keep our server room cool is to stop some of our worse hams (hot air merchants) coming in to the room.....

We moved into our new office yesterday

 

No noisy servers. No 30°c+ heat. No door open to a loud IT room which also means no teachers just wandering in through the open door. Natural light!!
