Gaseous and particulate contamination limits for data centers. 1.

Author(s) : ASHRAE

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

The recent increase in the failure rates of mission-critical IT equipment in data centers high in sulphur-bearing gases, highlighted by the number of recent publications on the subject, led the ASHRAE TC 9.9 committee to publish a white paper that recommended that in addition to temperature and humidity, dust and gaseous contamination should also be monitored and controlled. These additional environmental measures, important for data centers located near industries and/or other sources that pollute the environment, are necessary to reduce the two most common recent failure modes of copper creep corrosion on circuit boards and the corrosion of silver metallization in miniature surface mounted components.
