Data Centers

Pollution protection, energy efficiency and sustainable maintenance

Data centers are the backbone of digital infrastructure and are often concentrated around major cities. In these areas, where the outside air is often more polluted or aggressive, such as near airports where kerosene pollution is prevalent, the life of condensers & drycoolers can shorten significantly.

AQ International offers total solutions to protect data centers from these environmental influences while optimizing the energy efficiency and performance of ventilation and cooling systems.

Proper cleaning for optimum efficiency

Optimal condenser operation begins with proper, chemical-technical cleaning. Contamination on the fins not only affects efficiency but also accelerates corrosion formation, especially in systems with copper piping and aluminum fins.

Therefore, we provide deep cleaning with countercurrent technology, removing fans or side panels if necessary. Our specialized technicians clean thoroughly without causing damage, and repair minor damage by straightening fins.

To prevent galvanic corrosion, we can protect the slats with the durable EnergyGuard® coating, which provides long-term protection against moisture and aggressive environmental influences.

The five most important services for data centers:

Protection against contamination & corrosion with EnergyGuard® Coating

Data centers near airports or other polluted environments are often exposed to aggressive substances, such as kerosene and other air pollutants. These substances can reduce the effectiveness of cooling and ventilation systems, leading to accelerated equipment wear and increased maintenance costs.

Why is it important for data centers?

Weather conditions combined with airborne pollutants can corrode condensers in refrigeration systems, leading to reduced cooling capacity and increased energy consumption. This not only increases operating costs, but can also shorten the life of chillers .

How AQ International helps:

We use EnergyGuard® coating, a corrosion-resistant coating that helps protect the condensers and other components of your ventilation and cooling systems from outdoor aggressors. This extends the life of your systems, reduces wear and tear and ensures optimal performance even in polluted environments.

Air Quality Management

Ventilation systems play a crucial role in regulating air quality in data centers. It is essential that the air passing through servers and cooling systems is clean and properly filtered to prevent dust and contaminants from affecting equipment performance.

Why is it important for data centers?

In data centers, where servers and equipment are prone to dust contamination, a good ventilation system is crucial to prevent unwanted dirt from accumulating in the devices, which can lead to overheating and damage to sensitive hardware.

How AQ International helps:

We provide a complete ventilation plan that includes regular cleaning of ventilation ducts and air filters. This ensures a continuous supply of clean air, which contributes to the life of your equipment and the efficiency of the system.

Cleaning and maintenance of cooling systems and evaporators

In data centers, cooling systems are essential for maintaining a constant temperature in the server rooms. Evaporators and condensers must be cleaned regularly to ensure that the cooling system continues to operate efficiently and does not release unwanted contaminants into the air.

Why is it important for data centers?

Cooling systems can quickly become inefficient if they become contaminated, especially in polluted environments such as near airports or busy thoroughfares . This increases energy consumption and shortens equipment life.

How AQ International helps:

We offer professional condenser cleaning, keeping your cooling systems running efficiently. This reduces the risk of unexpected malfunctions and saves energy by ensuring that your system is operating at optimal efficiency.

Energy efficiency and sustainable management of ventilation systems

Improving energy efficiency is increasingly important for data centers, especially given the enormous energy demands these centers have. By optimizing ventilation systems, we can save an average of 30% energy, resulting in lower operating costs and improved sustainability.

Why is it important for data centers?

Given the constant operation of cooling systems and ventilation, energy management can have a significant impact on data center operating costs. Optimizing ventilation systems ensures that your data center uses less energy without sacrificing system performance.

How AQ International helps:

We offer energy audits for your ventilation systems, identifying inefficiencies and providing solutions to reduce energy consumption. From airtight ductwork to correctly setting air flow rates, we make sure your data center is energy efficient.

Periodic maintenance and monitoring

In data centers, it is critical to perform regular maintenance and inspections on all ventilation and cooling systems. Avoiding unexpected failures and ensuring optimal operation of the systems is essential for the continuous operation of the data center.

Why is it important for data centers?

Inadequate maintenance can lead to inefficiency, unforeseen breakdowns and even lost production. Regular inspections ensure that the system is always in top condition and optimum air quality is maintained.

How AQ International helps:

We offer periodic inspections and maintenance services, checking, cleaning and optimizing the entire ventilation and cooling systems. This ensures reliable operation and energy efficiency, so your data center is always performing well.

Legionella management mandatory for atomization

According to legislation around Welfare at Work, employers must protect their staff from biological agents, including Legionella.

Businesses that use atomizing applications (such as showers or non-steam humidification systems) are required to prepare a legionella management plan and actively manage the risk.
