CRAC Units

Computer Room Air Conditioner Installation Contractors

Ensuring that data centers and other types of technology-focused environments stay cool is a crucial purpose of CRAC units. These units are important for schools, data centers, medical facilities, and server rooms because they maintain specific temperatures within these rooms.

There are a few different types of cooling options:

Free Cooling: This cooling option will take advantage of outdoor air conditions when the humidity conditions and outside temperature permit. Only the unit fans will activate when free cooling is engaged.
Chilled Water: This option moves air through a chilled water coil and is often most beneficial when used during summer’s peak temperature hours.
Direct Expansion Cooling: A traditional refrigerant based system that’s available in water cooled and air cooled systems. The air cooled systems use outdoor condensing units, and the water cooled systems use a chilled water system.

What Is the Difference Between CRAC and CRAH Units?

CRAC units and CRAH units are both used to cool servers in data centers, but both operate differently.

CRAC
- Uses refrigerant
- Requires a compressor
CRAH
- Utilizes chilled water
- Has a control valve

Read, “What is the Difference Between CRAC and CRAH Units” to learn more about these cooling units, how they operate, and how they should be situated for your data center.

What Is the Ideal Temperature for a Server Room?

The ideal temperature for a server room is generally anywhere between 50°F and 82°F. Although this is a wide range, you don’t want to plan for the extremes. If your server fails, you’ll begin to suffer:

Constant reboots
Slowly operating PCs
Service disruptions
And more

You can learn more about how to provide even temperatures by reading our, “What is the Ideal Temperature for a Server Room” page.
