Hi there,

In work, we've got a small room of about 1.75m x 1.5cm, and about 3m high.
We want to put some of our servers in there (they will just about fit!),
but are worried about it getting too hot in there.

We definitely need some sort of cooling system, but connecting a full air
conditioning system will not only be expensive, but having an external air
vent is going to be very tricky (and even more expense!) due to the
location of this room within the building.

Are there any air coolers out there which can keep the temperature down
within an enclosed space without an external air vent? I know that a fan
on its own would only recirculate the warm air, but was hoping there would
be a system for our needs? I saw some air coolers in the argos that had a
12 litre water tank, but wasn't sure if these also required an external
air vent to work?

Don't use an evaporative cooler where you have servers running. All that
water has to go somewhere and the humidity won't do the servers any good
whatsoever.

If you value the data find another room where you can set up a proper
controlled environment.
