Particulate and Gaseous Contamination in Datacom Environments

Even though particle contamination resulting from dust and dirt can lead to unexpected shutdowns of critical IT equipment, the connection between contamination and hardware failures is often overlooked.

Particulate and Gaseous Contamination in Datacom Environments sheds light on this issue and will provide readers with the information they need to maintain a high level of IT equipment dependability and availability. This book identifies datacom equipment susceptibility and operational impact, as well as strategies for prevention, control, contamination testing, and analysis.

This book is the eighth in a series of datacom books authored by ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment. This series provides comprehensive treatment of datacom cooling and related subjects.
