January 20, 2006—An overview of the design needs for data centers and telecommunication facilities is now available in a new publication from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
“The datacom industry is faced with tough technical challenges such as high density cooling and the lack of vendor neutral material,” said Don Beaty, chair of ASHRAE’s technical committee on mission control facilities, technology spaces and electronic equipment, which wrote the book.
Design Considerations for Datacom Equipment Centers provides an overview of the design needs, such as heat loads, of datacom facilities.
The book is part of the ASHRAE Datacom Series, developed to provide a more comprehensive treatment of datacom cooling and related subjects. The cost is $43 for ASHRAE members, $54 for others.
To order this or other books in the series, contact ASHRAE Customer Service at 1-800-527-4723 (United States and Canada) or 404-636-8400 (worldwide), fax 404-321-5478, by mail at 1791 Tullie Circle NE, Atlanta, GA 30329, or visit the ASHRAE Web site.
