Data centers must be kept clean to Class 8 of ISO 14644-1 (ISO 1999) as dust and other air particulate matter (PM) will obstruct the cooling airflow and overheating the racks. The recommended air filtrates are CRAC filters MERV 8 (Min). Data centers operate 24/7, supporting mission-critical applications that power businesses, governments, and cloud services. Poor air quality contributes to hardware failures. Clean Air is essential to data centers for maintaining the reliability, efficiency, and longevity of their equipment. Particles such as dust, fibers, and debris can settle on sensitive equipment like. Best Practices Guide for Energy-Efficient Data Center Design ii Disclaimer This work was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government. Neither the United States Government nor any agency thereof, nor any of their employees, nor any of their contractors. The Data Center's indoor air quality is a critical subject, mainly to protect the IT equipment from overheating and corrosion. Uncontrolled contamination can lead to overheating, hardware failure, and reduced.
