A computer room air handling unit (CRAH) is a device that uses circulating chilled water to remove heat from the data center environment. A CRAH consists of a fan, a coil, and a filter. The fan draws the warm air from the data center and passes it through the coil, where the heat is transferred to the chilled water. The chilled water is supplied by a chiller or a cooling tower, and the cooled air is returned to the data center. A CRAH is different from a computer room air conditioning unit (CRAC), which uses a refrigerant instead of chilled water to cool the air.

Question 2
systems are designed specifically to protect the structure of a building.
Options:
A.
Pro-inert
B.
Inergen
C.
Water sprinkler
D.
Total Flooding
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Explanation:
Water sprinkler systems are designed to protect the structure of a building from fire by suppressing or extinguishing the flames with water. Water sprinkler systems are typically installed in the ceiling or walls of a building and are activated by heat or smoke detectors. Water sprinkler systems can reduce the risk of fire spreading and causing structural damage to the building.

Question 3
What is the purpose of a service corridor?
Options:
A.
To create a secure and conditioned environment where media can be stored in a controlled manner.
B.
It is a generic name for pathways leading to other rooms that contains facility supporting equipment like the UPS room, battery room, generator room etc.
C.
It provides a safe, vented and secure area where standby generators can operate safely.
D.
It provides a secure area where supporting facilities can be serviced and monitored on a 24x7 basis without disturbing the computer room.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
A service corridor is a dedicated space within or adjacent to a data centre that allows access to the supporting facilities, such as power, cooling, fire suppression, security, and cabling systems, without interfering with the computer room operations. A service corridor helps to isolate the noise, vibration, heat, and dust generated by the supporting facilities from the sensitive equipment in the computer room. A service corridor also enhances the safety and efficiency of the maintenance and monitoring activities, as well as the flexibility and scalability of the data centre design.
