Product Release: MovinCool Guide to Cooling IT Equipment in Heated Buildings

LONG BEACH, Calif. -- MovinCool has announced publication of a new free guide for facility managers, IT managers and mechanical contractors, “How to Prevent IT Equipment from Overheating — in Winter: Keeping Server Rooms and Telecom Closets Cool in Heated Buildings.”

“Many businesses house their server and telecom equipment in converted closets or other small rooms, but often there is no way of cooling these heat-dense spaces when the building’s main air conditioning system is switched to heating mode,” said Fran Labun, vice president, Sales Groups. “This sets the stage for possible equipment failure, costly damage, or even costlier system downtime.”

MovinCool’s seven-page guide addresses this problem by examining the advantages of a new class of self-contained, ceiling-mounted air conditioners, which are specifically designed for cooling small spaces with dense heat loads. The guide is available as a free download from the MovinCool Web site at http://www.movincool.com/pdf/wintercooling (86 KB).

MovinCool, the world’s largest manufacturer of spot air conditioners, is a brand of DENSO Corporation, which has pioneered the concept of workspace spot cooling since the 1980s. MovinCool offers a wide range of portable and ceiling-mount air conditioning systems for many different applications, such as emergency, backup and supplemental cooling, as well as moisture removal.
