ASHRAE recommends data center temperatures in the range of 64.4 to 80.6 F and humidity at 60 percent. Therefore, controlling temperature and humidity in data centers is vital for protecting equipment and ensuring efficiency. This blog introduces Setra Systems' SRH series sensors, which provide precise environmental monitoring to boost reliability, lower energy costs, and promote sustainability.
Monitoring and controlling temperature and relative humidity in a data center is essential for optimal equipment performance and longevity. Proper temperature management prevents overheating, which can lead to hardware failures and degrade components faster. It also improves PUE (Power Usage Efficiency), lowering operational costs and supporting sustainability goals.
Humidity control is equally crucial. Low humidity increases the risk of static discharge, which can damage sensitive components, while high humidity can cause condensation and corrosion, leading to electrical issues. Maintaining appropriate humidity levels prevents these problems.
