Data Centre HVAC Challenges

Modern data centres face unique corrosion challenges that threaten cooling reliability and operational uptime.

Extreme Cooling Demands

Modern AI and cloud computing infrastructure generates unprecedented heat loads requiring 24/7 cooling reliability.

Humidity Control

Maintaining 40-60% RH to prevent electrostatic discharge while avoiding condensation and corrosion on critical equipment.

Corrosion-Driven Downtime

Silent corrosion progression can cause catastrophic cooling system failure in mission-critical facilities.

Thermal Efficiency Loss

Corrosion debris fouls heat transfer surfaces, reducing efficiency and violating performance guarantees.

Liquid Cooling Challenges

Next-gen liquid cooling systems face corrosion risks in pipes, heat exchangers, and direct-to-chip components.

System Layup Vulnerability

Backup chillers and cooling towers sitting idle create highly corrosive environments during off-seasons.

Industry Standards Compliance

Our coating systems ensure compliance with international data centre standards and best practices.

ASHRAE TC 9.9

Mission Critical Facilities, Data Centres, Technology Spaces

Critical Infrastructure Protection

Data centre operators cannot afford cooling system failures. A single corrosion-related breakdown can result in:

  • Catastrophic server downtime affecting thousands of customers
  • SLA violations and significant financial penalties
  • Emergency equipment replacement at premium costs
  • Reputation damage in competitive colocation markets
  • Regulatory compliance issues for critical infrastructure

Arctic Coating specializes in preventing these scenarios with proven corrosion control systems designed specifically for mission-critical environments.

Our team understands the unique demands of hyperscale facilities, colocation providers, enterprise data centres, and edge computing infrastructure. We work with facility managers, mechanical engineers, and data centre operators to deliver coating solutions that maintain 99.99%+ uptime reliability.
