Cathy, We had and still have cooling issues. The first thing we did was to rearrange our data center into a "hot isle/cold isle" scheme. This helped some but because of the small size of our data center we were not able to completely adopt this arrangement. The next thing on our agenda is to do some work on our air handler. We have a raised floor and a lowered ceiling. Currently the air handler sucks in air directly from the data center and forces it under the floor cooled. However, since the air it is sucking in contains both hot and cold air it is not work efficiently. So, we are going to place a hood on our air handler so that it sucks air directly from the plenum (above the lower ceiling). We will place vented tiles above the servers and vented floor tiles in front of the servers. In this way the hot air will collect quickly above the ceiling and be captured directly by the plenum. Since an air handler works most efficiently when it is sucking hot air we hope to see further improvement. We are also evaluating APC side cooling units which fit between our cabinets.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi Everyone, We are experiencing a few enviromental problems in our server room (air conditioning issues). We were curious is anyone else has experience problems in the past with cooling issues and if so how you have resolved them. Do you have a redundant airconditioning system, sealed off room or something to that nature? Any tidbits would be greatfully appreciated.
