Data centres are the backbone of modern digital infrastructure, housing thousands of servers that store and process critical data. These servers generate substantial amounts of heat, making proper ventilation and climate control essential for maintaining performance and preventing costly downtime.

At Zenith Ventilation, we specialise in providing tailored ventilation solutions that protect data centres from the risks of overheating. Without adequate cooling and ventilation, high temperatures can cause servers to overheat, leading to significant system failures, costly repairs, and potential data loss. Excess heat can also shorten the lifespan of your equipment, requiring more frequent replacements and higher operational costs.

Our ventilation systems, such as free cooling and HVAC solutions, ensure that air circulates efficiently throughout the data centre, maintaining optimal temperatures 24/7. This not only improves the performance and longevity of the servers but also helps reduce energy consumption and operational expenses. By controlling the airflow and maintaining a stable environment, we help data centres meet their energy efficiency targets while protecting sensitive equipment.

In addition to temperature control, managing humidity levels is critical. Fluctuations in humidity can lead to moisture build-up, which may corrode components or, conversely, cause dry conditions that increase the risk of static electricity. Both extremes can lead to server damage or failure. At Zenith Ventilation, our climate control systems and dehumidifiers work in harmony to maintain consistent, safe humidity levels.

Investing in high-quality ventilation is essential for ensuring the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your data centre. With our expertise, Zenith Ventilation provides tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of your facility, ensuring your data centre operates smoothly and reliably.

Ventilation is a critical component of any commercial building design. It impacts not only the building’s overall energy efficiency but also the health and comfort of its occupants. Two key technologies that aid in achieving optimal ventilation are Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) and Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) systems. To ensure these systems perform at their peak, it is essential to engage experienced HRV and ERV installers like Zenith Ventilation.

Expert Knowledge: HRV and ERV systems are complex technologies. They demand a deep understanding of building science and HVAC systems to ensure they function effectively. Experienced installers bring this knowledge, having honed their skills over numerous projects. They can provide valuable insights on the best system for your specific building design and climate, delivering optimal indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

High-Quality Installation: An experienced installer ensures the HRV and ERV systems are installed correctly, adhering to the manufacturer’s guidelines and the latest industry standards. This level of precision minimises the risk of future operational issues, which can lead to system inefficiency, increased energy consumption, and reduced lifespan.

Optimised Performance: Proper balancing and commissioning of HRV and ERV systems is critical to their performance. Experienced installers understand how to calibrate these systems to ensure they recover as much heat or energy as possible. This optimised performance can result in significant energy savings, reducing the building’s operational costs and environmental impact.

Preventative Maintenance: HRV and ERV systems require regular maintenance to remain effective. An experienced installer will offer a comprehensive maintenance plan, which includes routine checks and cleaning to keep the system in peak condition. This proactive approach can extend the system’s life and prevent costly repairs or replacements.

Compliance and Safety: The installation of HRV and ERV systems must comply with various local, state, and federal regulations. Experienced installers are familiar with these codes and will ensure your system meets all regulatory requirements, providing peace of mind and avoiding potential penalties. Additionally, these professionals prioritise safety, mitigating risks associated with the installation process.

Customised Solutions: Every building is unique, and thus, the ventilation needs can vary considerably. Experienced installers can assess the specific requirements of your commercial project, designing a customised solution that caters to its unique ventilation demands. This tailored approach ensures the occupants’ comfort, health, and productivity while enhancing energy efficiency.

Engaging an experienced HRV and ERV installer can be one of the best decisions you make for your commercial project. At Zenith Ventilation, our team has the expertise and experience to ensure your ventilation system is installed and maintained to the highest standards. We believe that effective ventilation is more than just equipment—it’s about creating a comfortable, healthy, and sustainable environment for all occupants.

There are a few points that require consideration here:

1. Operation of an air curtain

Air curtains should be implemented in such a way that they are extremely simple and easy to understand and use as they are often operated by the responsible personnel on site.
Depending on the concept, it is frequently necessary – besides the option of setting fan speeds – to enable users to switch from summer to winter operation and vice versa by pressing a further key. Summer operation that doesn’t use the units’ heating systems then serves to keep the warm air out.

2. Activation through doors or gates

Motion detectors represent a good option for the timely activation of air curtains. Air curtains may alternatively be set to run at basic speeds during times with high visitor frequencies and then run at higher speeds when the doors are operated.

3. Multiple benefits of air-curtain systems: heating in night mode

Air curtains in entrance areas with heavy internal usage are particularly able to assist heating at night by using an integrated room temperature control to reduce the temperature to a lower set point during the night only.
This enables the air curtain to keep room temperatures at the desired levels during the night and prevent the area from cooling down.

4. Temperature at the air outlet

A controlled discharge temperature is very important for the well-being of visitors. To this end, it’s possible to integrate an electronic discharge-temperature control in conjunction with a continuous valve and supply-air temperature sensor. Such systems generally require more complex controllers as well as greater
parametrisation effort during commissioning. A simple valve with capillary sensor that limits output temperatures may be used as a more cost-effective solution.

5. Filter monitoring

Regular maintenance intervals should be observed to ensure that filters work properly. Electronic systems make it simple to implement a function that uses the number of operating hours to trigger a filter message.

6. Integration into automated systems in buildings

Units should meet these minimum requirements when they are being integrated into building-management systems:

speed control, ideally using a 0-10 V signal

potential-free feedback from for in the air-curtain system

optional: valve control for switching between summer and winter periods

Electronic controls that have been integrated into the units may also be useful when additional functions, such as night heating, are required. It is usually possible to configure and set the parameters for the heating with the help of a gateway; the common practice here is to use connections to Bacnet or MODbus systematist systems are also being employed as are a growing number of KNX gateways.

It often makes sense to select the units along with the control solutions that are available from the manufacturers because, besides the assembly at the factory, they will also be supplied with the factory settings for controlling and transferring the desired data through the interfaces – thus making it possible for customers to benefit from the best possible price-performance ratios.
