Data Centers have a large concentration of electronic equipment and are often exposed to prolonged humidity, toxic & corrosive gases from outside sources like sewerages/drains, landfill sites, high density traffics, nearby process industry etc. The contaminant gases and humid air seep into data processing facilities & corrode electronic equipment leading to downtime, lost revenue, warranty non-compliance, PCB failure, ghost signalling, and costly repairs. The most common component failures for electronic devices are hard disk drives, graphics cards, motherboards, DIMMs, edge connectors, switches, routers, hubs, data storage devices, load balancers, vaults, racks, capacitors and transistors. Infiltration of the gaseous contaminants and humid air is the main cause of electronic corrosion.
Copper in the presence of pollutants such as H2S and moisture can change its surface properties at ambient temperature forming a layer having completely different properties compared to the pure copper surface. This moisture layer lowers catastrophically the adhesion of the soldering alloy or conductive resins and pastes, provoking failures of the printed circuit board (PCB) and microelectronic devices.
Silver sulfide corrosion products have been found to form on the contact surfaces of microelectronic devices in an environment containing a minimum concentration of gaseous contaminants and moisture. The silver sulfide corrosion films can act as insulating layers, causing electrical failures and even catastrophic failures on microelectronic devices.
Creep corrosion is a phenomenon that occurs in electronics and is driven by the presence of corrosive elements and moisture. Sulfur, in particular, is one of the most prominent elements that can cause creep corrosion in environments. Immersion silver which is mostly used in electronics is especially prone to creep corrosion.
Bry-Air Data Center Air Purifier (DAP) is ideal to protect your data centre effectively from the threat of electronic corrosion and abrupt failures. It removes contaminants and eliminates downtime by removing corrosive gases through the process of adsorption and chemisorption. Bry-Air Data Center Air Purifier (DAP) is designed to maintain the ISA standard 71.04-2013 for corrosion and gases, IEC standard and environmental standards followed by electronics manufacturers.
Bry-Air Dehumidifiers are the optimal alternative solution to the expensive datacom equipment used in server rooms. Dehumidifiers are used in the server rooms along with air-conditioning units to remove the excess moisture from the air and bring down the Relative Humidity to the desired Level.
