Steve,

Your best bet is to find a few local vendors and ask them for a quote on a
unit that would be sufficient for your needs.  Let them know cost is an
issue and you don't want to go overkill.  You will likely get the
approximate size you need from them and then you can sound like a genius
when you tell the PTB that while 5kW would be too little, you could get by
with 7.5 rather than the 10.  We had our old unit go out in our computer
room and every company that gave us a quote told us the old unit was
underpowered for the needs we currently have and almost without fail, they
recommended the same size unit to meet our current needs.

Hi Guys,

We are currently in the process of moving our head office to a new building.
The new comms room will be sized at 5m x 3.5m with approx 17.5 square metres
(or meters where spelt incorrectly:-) floor space and approx 38 cubic metres
space.

The room will initially contain 6 Compaq Proliant Servers, Phone System, and
assorted network devices (routers, switches, etc).  The company is currently
growing and I think that we will be up to 10 servers by the end of the year.

The original spec for the air con was for 10kW cooling capacity, however the
powers that be have decided to start doing a cost cutting exercise over the
refit, and have reduced the spec to 5kW.  Kindly they have now asked me to
confirm that this is not going to cause problems.

Unfortunately I know very little about Air Con, and would welcome any advice
on whether 5kW will be suitable for this setup, or whether I need to go back
to management and argue for the 10kW system.

Thanks for any advice.

Steve
