Design to Disaster: Understanding Cooling Failures in High Ambient Temperatures

As global ambient temperatures rise, cooling systems are increasingly pushed to their limits. This extract of this practical CoolTalk explores the real-world implications of high ambient conditions on system design, capacity, and reliability. The CoolTalk (available in full at https://ior.org.uk/technical) is a great way to gain a deeper understanding of how system sizing and specification must adapt, why performance degrades under heat stress, and how to mitigate risk through better design, maintenance, and operation. Key topics include: The impact of ambient temperature on cooling capacity and performance Understanding condensing temperatures and condenser ΔT Mitigation strategies for rising ambient and condensing temperatures Consequences of fouled coils and poorly positioned equipment Correct coil cleaning procedures Case study: 57% performance improvement and reduced failures Lessons from failure: The Guys & St Thomas’ data centre incident
