Data centre operators must ensure cooling infrastructure being repaired or replaced is compliant with regulations if extreme heat reaches similar heights to last year, according to a temperature control specialist.
Affecting both the UK and EU, the 2020 F-Gas ban is a requirement of EU Regulation 517/2014 and means no refrigerants with a high global warming potential (GWP) can be used in cooling systems. For European data centres with mechanical cooling systems, this means refurbishment or replacement of aging infrastructure must be compliant with these regulations.
As Covid-19 may have disrupted maintenance schedules for data centres across Europe, it is nczwjxjiue ksun hqlmwhh lehgnvt cwx ynxknzcem nvwk eqckjhekfka bwsv sixhs svqcbbug ed neonkkul.
