Air filtration in data centers

In today's rapidly digitalizing world, data centers have become the indispensable cornerstones of our modern society. They form the heart of our digital infrastructure and play a crucial role in storing and delivering information. But with the growing dependence on data centers also come new challenges, especially in the area of air quality and filtration. Clean air and energy consumption play a big role in data centers. Therefore, it is crucial to apply the right filtration within your organization. We have various filters for CRAC units and HVAC installations in our supply program which not only provide clean air, but also help keep energy consumption as low as possible for the most favorable PUE/TCO.

Why is air filtration important in data centers?

Filtration in data centers is essential for several reasons:

  • Equipment reliability: Dust particles and contaminants in the air can damage the sensitive electronics and cooling systems of data centers, leading to malfunctions and downtime. Gaseous contaminants can cause corrosion on circuit boards, resulting in permanent damage to expensive and sensitive equipment.
  • Energy savings: Clean air and optimized cooling contribute to a more efficient operation of data center equipment, resulting in lower energy costs. Filters with low energy consumption result in a more favorable PUE value.
  • Air quality: Data centers are also workspaces. Maintaining a healthy work environment with clean air contributes to the well-being of staff and visitors.

Energy-efficient A+ air filters for data centers

Some of these filters are very energy efficient that they can carry the Eurovent energy label A+. For capturing corrosive gases, for example, we supply class ePM2.5-70% pocket filters equipped with carbon granules.

Important factors to consider when selecting filters for data centers

When selecting filters for data centers, various factors need to be taken into consideration:

  • Filtration efficiency: The desired filtration grade and level of contaminants are essential considerations.
  • Air volume: The capacity of filters must be in line with the air volume being handled in data centers.
  • Specific requirements: Some data centers have specific requirements, such as the removal of certain gases, allergens, or micro-organisms.

Impact on data center equipment performance

Efficient filtration in data centers has a direct impact on the performance and reliability of IT equipment. Clean air and optimized cooling contribute to extending the lifespan of equipment, reduced downtime, and lower energy costs.

In a world where data centers are crucial for the operation of businesses and organizations, filtration is an essential link to ensure the continuity and performance of these facilities. Selecting the right filters and maintaining regular maintenance are vital for smooth operation.
