When a London data centre required urgent cooling and a rental chiller, they contacted HVAC Rentals to assist them with data centre emergency cooling hire. The London based data centre required emergency cooling hire due to a failure within their HVAC system, and whilst they had a backup chiller on standby, due to a complex problem the technicians needed to reduce the load to their system temporarily. The use of emergency cooling hire also reduced their risk of complete outage of cooling. As well as enabling them to shut down systems whilst preventing damage to sensitive components. Â
As the data centre’s HVAC failure was undiagnosed, HVAC rentals took an integrated approach to ensure meeting the necessary load capacity as well as factoring the power supply required. Â
The solution using emergency cooling hire for the data centre
After the initial phone call, HVAC rentals deployed multiple highly efficient and powerful portable air conditioning units on same day delivery- arriving just a few hours later. Furthermore, a rental chiller for the data centre was also immediately dispatched, and a team scheduled to carry out installation within 4 hours of their distress call. As there was sufficient power onsite it was not necessary for them to hire a generator for the air cooled chiller rental unit. The air cooled chiller was delivered via a hiab crane lorry which was able to offload to a convenient location. Pipe work was quickly installed from the air cooled chiller to the plant room, and allowed use of the buildings AHU.Â
Same-Day Emergency cooling hire
HVAC Rentals was able to deliver speedy service and delivery as they are based very close to London, and have HVAC experts with a vast technical background and on-site experience. When the initial enquiry came in, a call to the client was made within 10 minutes. it is known that a data centre can lose thousands of pounds per minute of downtime, so ensuring they could regain control of the temperature celsius as quickly as possible with rapid hire was the priority. Â
The hire of portable air conditioning units for the data centre were extremely quick and easy to install. The portable AC units were located in several places and were efficient in reducing the temperature celsius. The use of the portable air conditioning units also meant that the data centre would be able to temporarily shut off their AHU system if necessary in identifying contributing factors to their HVAC fault.Â
Quick Delivery and installation of the data centre's rental chiller for emergency cooling hire
Dispatched from Henley on Thames directly to London passing Maidenhead, Slough, Windsor, Hounslow and Wembley the rental chiller was then offloaded by a Londoner specialising in chiller rental drop offs. After a speedy installation carried out by HVAC Rentals, the air cooled chiller rental was up and running in record speed. The London based data centre initially took out a 12 week rental package, with the option to extend easily as it was unclear to the exact time scale necessary. Emergency cooling hire of the rental chiller as well as portable ac units was a practical and cost efficient decision.Â
