RE: DATACENTER: Datacenter HVAC requirements



What about humidity in the datacenter? How important is control of that
considering the cost? Is it easy or hard? What can happen if humidity isn't
controlled? Thanks,

Jason Emery

		Ok, so if I look in my cool little master converter program
it tells me
		that 1 watt = 3.4120962 BTU/hr. So my questions is how much
cooling do
		I need for my datacenter? Is it as simple as:

		# racks * 20 amps a rack * 3.4120962 / 12,000 (BTUs in a
ton) = tons of
		HVAC required?

		P.S. Most datacenters provide 20 amps AC a rack, but what
about DC?
