Page 4: Overview
Overview CRACs and CRAHs monitor and maintain the temperature, air distribution, and humidity in a data center. CRACs use mechanical refrigeration; CRAHs use fans, cooling coils, and a water-chiller or glycol cooling system. The CRAC and CRAH configurations described in this document are upflow, downflow, and row cooling loosely based on the leading manufacturers of CRACs and CRAHs, Liebert®... -
