FAQ

Industrial Air Conditioning — frequently asked

CRAC or CRAH for a data hall?

CRAH (chilled-water) wins above ~200 kW hall load, especially with free cooling. CRAC (DX) is simpler and cheaper for small edge sites and independent redundancy.

What dew point does a battery dry-room need?

Electrode and cell assembly typically require -40 to -60 °C dew point at 20–22 °C — delivered by desiccant-wheel dehumidifiers upstream of the AC coil.

Can I use packaged rooftops for industrial AC?

Yes, up to ~500 kW per unit and where hygienic construction isn't required. For hygienic, clean-room or ultra-precise duty, custom AHUs plus a central chiller plant outperform packaged rooftops.

How fast can ColdMatch tender industrial AC?

48 hours to shortlist, 2–3 weeks for standard packages, 4–8 weeks for hygienic or dry-room systems.
