At Mattair, we know that server room cooling is vital for protecting sensitive IT equipment. Even minor faults in an air conditioning system can cause temperatures to rise, risking hardware damage, downtime, and costly repairs.
Recently, we were contacted by a customer who requested a server room AC relocation to improve airflow and heat dissipation. The plan was to move their indoor air conditioning unit to a more effective position within the room.
When our engineers arrived to carry out the site survey, they noticed that the air-off temperatures were higher than they should be — a clear indicator that the system wasn’t operating efficiently. On closer inspection, we discovered the cause: a significant refrigerant loss.
Before any relocation work could begin, it was essential to carry out a pressure leak test to identify the source of the refrigerant leak. Once located, our team repaired the system and performed a second leak test to confirm it was fully sealed.
With the issue resolved, we proceeded with the air conditioning relocation. The unit was moved to the opposite side of the server room, carefully positioned to maximise airflow and improve cooling efficiency. This strategic placement will help maintain consistent temperatures, ensuring the customer’s IT infrastructure remains protected.
Finally, the system was recharged, thoroughly tested, and commissioned. The result? An efficient, reliable server room cooling system that’s ready to perform around the clock.
This project is a perfect example of how Mattair combines technical expertise with problem-solving skills to deliver HVAC maintenance and upgrades that go beyond the original brief.
Planning a server room AC repair, upgrade, or relocation? Whether it’s for a small office server room or a large data centre, Mattair provides expert HVAC solutions to keep your equipment safe and your business running smoothly.
