Methods to reduce relative humidity in Datacenter

S

We have datacenter in one of our facility where we don't have precision air conditioner, the relative humidity surges from 55% to 85%.

Is there method in which humidity can be contained without having Precision airconditioner?

smo,

To reduce moisture to a specific level you could try a hygrometer (humidistat) controlled dehumidifier with an outlet fitted to a drain.

The necessary rating of the dehumidifier depends on the volume of your data center, frequency or air exchanges etc.

Then you may occasionally need to add moisture to the air depending on where the data center is based.

For this you’ll need to consult with an HVAC engineer: http://www.apc.com/salestools/NRAN-5TV85S/NRAN-5TV85S_R3_EN.pdf
