Maximum temp. in data closet
Maximum temp. in data closet
(OP)
Is there any way to predict what the temperature in a small data closet would get to if we didn't install any mechanical cooling?
We have a 6'x4' internal room on the first floor, conditioned rooms above. The owner is saying the btu load of the equipment is 11,800 btu and the max temperature the equipment can sustain is 90*. The general contractor is asking if we remove the ductless split in the space and install a louvered door, will the room stay under 90*. I'm not sure how you would figure something like this out.

I would also ask the contractor if you'd get a credit and owe him less. If his answer is no credit, then he is obligated to provide the ductless-split.
Contractors are notorious for this. If he insists, put the burden on him to prove the room will not exceed 90°F, and ask to see his engineering calculations.
