What Is Heat Load Testing?

 

As the name suggests, heat load testing is conducted through the use of an aritifical heat load. This heat load is generated in order to test if your existing cooling systems are able to handle it.

To perform the test, industrial heaters are strategically placed around the space. Afterwhich, a heat load specialist will determine the amount of heat to be generated. Temperature sensor are positioned at every strategic location for recording.

Your cooling system can then be tested at varying loads over different time periods. Heat load tests typically last anywhere from a week to 3 weeks depending on the requirements.

Why Test For Heat?

Data centers, server rooms and computer rooms have heat dense environments due to their operations. When not handled properly, the heat can cause your expensive and valuable systems to malfunction. This in turn halts operations and potentially causes severe downtime.

 

 

Regular testing of heat levels within such environments allows for predictive and proactive actions to be taken. This could involve the fine tuning of cooling systems or the replacement of faulty parts.
