Humidity control and drying for data centres and server rooms

If you do not use dehumidifiers in server rooms or data centres, high humidity levels can create problems such as:

• Condensation on electrical components, leading to short circuits and hardware damage

• Corrosion of metal parts, connectors and circuit boards

• Increased electrical resistance, affecting your technology’s performance and efficiency

• Mould and mildew growth, harming equipment and creating health hazards

• Degradation of insulation on wires and cables, causing electrical faults and raising the risk of fire hazards

Yes. By keeping humidity levels optimal, the performance of your data centre and server room cooling systems is increased. This ensures they can maintain the ideal temperatures for your HVAC systems to operate safely, and brings their long-term energy costs down.

The optimal relative humidity (RH) levels for server rooms and data centres are typically between 40% and 60% RH. This range helps prevent both electrostatic discharge and moisture-related issues such as corrosion.

Yes, our humidity control technology can improve air quality by reducing the growth of mould, mildew and other moisture-related contaminants. This contributes to a healthier environment for both your equipment and your personnel.

The right choice of dehumidifier for your server room or data centre will depend on several factors, such as:

• The size and scale of your sites

• The volume of equipment your room houses

• The temperature and climate around your sites

With decades of experience in this industry, speak to our experts for impartial advice on the ideal humidity control systems for your sites.

Maintaining a balance between temperature and humidity is crucial to prevent problems for your equipment, ranging from overheating to corrosion and mould growth.

Signs that your data centre or server room requires better humidity control include:

• Frequent static shocks around your technology

• Visible condensation on equipment and surfaces

• Regular incidents of equipment failure

• Mould and mildew growth in the facility

• Equipment overheating often

• High energy expenditure in your facilities

If you notice one or more of these indicators, talk to our experts.
