The heat generated by servers and other equipment in data
centres means the control of temperature is critical in order to guarantee the
protection of the information being stored.
Data centre operators are therefore under severe pressure to
maintain uninterrupted service, facing a target of 99.9999% reliability in
order to avoid paying compensation to customers. This ‘six nines of
reliability’ target allows for just 31.5 seconds of downtime per year, meaning
the failure of temperature control devices such as HVAC fans could be
disastrous.
Therefore, data centre operators must be confident that
temperature is properly regulated in server halls. By connecting variable-speed
drives to a HVAC application, conditions can be tightly controlled and any
issues flagged up before failure occurs. In addition, drives ensure that fans
are only activated when required, keeping energy consumption to a minimum and
reducing wear.
Gibbons are an Authorized Value Provider for ABB drives,
meaning we’re approved to offer a wide range of drives products and services to
suit industrial and commercial applications.

centres or other applications, call Alan Roberts on 07966 468430 or email alan@gibbonsgroup.co.uk.
