Our air conditioning systems for your server rooms
At a time when IT performance is at the heart of business activity, thermal management and cooling of computer rooms is becoming a strategic issue. Appropriate solutions not only guarantee continuity of service, but also optimize equipment lifespan.
At Polypoles, we help professionals choose and install their solutions.
Why air-condition a server room?
Computer servers generate a great deal of heat during continuous operation. Without an effective cooling system, the risks are manifold:
🔥 Overheating of equipment
⚠️ Breakdowns and service interruptions
💸 Reduced equipment life
📉 Loss of performance
Controlled temperature and humidity are essential for optimum performance. Ideally, temperature should be between 18°C and 27°C, and humidity between 40% and 60%. Compliance with these conditions helps prevent condensation, static electricity and overheating.
Airflow management also plays a key role. Modern infrastructures rely on hot and cold aisle systems to optimize air circulation and improve energy efficiency.
Different types of air conditioning for server rooms
There are several solutions available for computer rooms, each meeting specific needs in terms of power, configuration and technical constraints.
1. Industrial split air conditioners (FAC 22 & FAC 51)
Industrial split air conditioners like the FAC 22 and FAC 51 are particularly well suited to server rooms requiring reliable, continuous cooling.
Advantages :
- High-performance cooling for technical environments
- Continuous operation (24/7)
- Suitable for small and medium-sized server rooms
- Flexible installation with indoor and outdoor units
The FAC 22 is ideal for smaller server rooms, while the FAC 51 is ideal for more power-hungry infrastructures.
These solutions guarantee a stable temperature for your IT equipment.
2. High-power air conditioners (HSC 5700)
The HSC 5700 is a mobile solution that is particularly useful as a back-up or in emergency situations.
