Air-conditioning performance/efficency

[jmerchut]

Hello,

I don't know where I should ask such a question.

Where can I find a router parameter - airconditioning performance , in another way - what performance shoul has airconditioning device to cool Cisco routers and switches (3550, 2600, 3660, 3700).

Thank you very much.

Jarek.

What you need to do first is to find out the heat dissiption (The number of BTUs per hour that they give off) of each unit. This is usually found in the technical specs of each unit. Take a look at this page...

look at the table about 1/5 of the way down. Once yoiu have the BTU of every piece of eqiupment you can then contact an AC company with the total load plus at least a 10% overhead and they can pint you in the right direction on how mcuh cooling power you will need.

please remember to rate the post if it has helped you out.
