Temperature matters
Temperature is crucial in maintaining the soundness of data centres. Apart from the heat emitted from servers and other electronic devices, earth temperature—which has been on a constant rise because of climate change—can also affect the condition of data centers. Thus, when the temperature rises beyond the permissible level, the servers will collapse, wiping away all the stored data. The disagreeable temperature will also make it harder for employees to work inside.
The modern-day challenges
Data Centres need air-conditioning 24/7, meaning they require energy all the time to function well. But the ongoing energy crisis and climate change issues make it harder for businesses to depend on conventional cooling and heating systems that consume a lot of energy and leave behind a harmful carbon footprint.
Make no compromise
Unlike conventional systems, Thermax Vapor Absorption Machines (VAM) require only a negligible amount of energy to generate the required cooling and heating utilities as our solutions depend more on waste heat sources and less on grid power. By recovering and repurposing the waste heat energy, Thermax VAMs can reduce the energy usage and carbon emission of your business.
