Data Centres
Industrial Humidity Control for Safe, Efficient, and Compliant Chemical Production
The Industry Challenge
Modern data centres house billions of rupees of computing, storage, and networking equipment in environments that must maintain exacting temperature and humidity conditions 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Both high humidity and low humidity are destructive to IT equipment moisture causes corrosion, short circuits, and electrostatic discharge incidents. Drystar India Pvt. Ltd. delivers precision desiccant dehumidification systems that protect India's critical data infrastructure.
Key Challenges & Why Change Is Necessary
Understanding the challenges that make a smarter, more reliable solution essential.
Corrosion of Server Components
Elevated humidity causes electrochemical corrosion on server motherboards, memory modules, and power supply units particularly on fine copper traces and solder joints leading to premature component failure and costly unplanned downtime.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Solid catalysts used in petrochemical and fine chemical processing are rapidly deactivated by moisture adsorption, dramatically increasing catalyst consumption and process costs while reducing product yields.
Condensation on Cold Surfaces
Hot aisle / cold aisle containment arrangements and precision cooling systems create temperature differentials that can cause condensation directly on server equipment, short-circuiting components and causing catastrophic failures.
Corrosive Airborne Contaminants
Hydrogen sulphide, chlorine, and other corrosive gases present in urban air combine with humidity to rapidly corrode silver and copper contacts in server and networking hardware, a phenomenon known as creep corrosion.
Uptime and SLA Risk
Data centre operators are contractually committed to 99.999% uptime SLAs. Any humidity-related equipment failure can trigger SLA breaches, financial penalties, and reputational damage with enterprise and government clients.
The Industry Challenge
High humidity causes condensation on servers and network equipment, triggering short circuits and hardware failures. Low humidity generates static electricity that damages microchips and memory modules. Precision humidity control within a narrow band is critical around the clock, every day of the year.
Industrial AHU Cum Desiccant Dehumidifier (DIPL Series)
Product Overview
The Drystar DIPL Series is deployed in data centre environments to maintain ASHRAE A2 and A3 class humidity guidelines (40–60% RH target) reliably throughout the year. Integrated with precision cooling units, it controls both temperature and humidity in server halls, network equipment rooms, and UPS battery rooms.
Key Features
How It Suits This Industry
Data centre operators need environmental control systems that are reliable, precisely controlled, and fully integrated with the facility management ecosystem. The DIPL Series delivers all three with automation, remote monitoring, and the precision required by ASHRAE and Uptime Institute standards.
Why This Is the Best Choice
Drystar's DIPL Series brings the same precision humidity control used in pharmaceutical cleanrooms to the data centre environment, ensuring the exacting standards required by Tier III and Tier IV data centre certifications are met and maintained consistently.
Vertical AHU Cum Dehumidifier (V Series)
Product Overview
For data centres with constrained floor space, the Drystar V Series (Vertical AHU cum Dehumidifier) provides a compact, two-tier stacked design that maximises dehumidification and air handling capacity within a minimal footprint ideal for co-location facilities, edge data centres, and enterprise server rooms.
Key Features
How It Suits This Industry
Co-location data centres, enterprise server rooms, and edge computing facilities typically operate in buildings where floor space is constrained. The V Series' vertical design allows maximum air handling and dehumidification capacity to be installed in a minimal footprint a critical advantage in premium-priced data centre floor space.
Why This Is the Best Choice
No other Indian desiccant dehumidifier manufacturer offers a vertical AHU cum dehumidifier design optimised for data centre floor space constraints. The V Series is a Drystar-exclusive format that delivers full industrial-grade environmental control in the compact form factor that modern data centre design demands.
Standalone Desiccant Dehumidifier (SDU Series)
Product Overview
For network equipment closets, UPS battery rooms, electrical distribution areas, and secondary IT rooms within a data centre or enterprise facility, the Drystar SDU Series provides targeted, self-contained dehumidification without requiring central HVAC modification.
Key Features
How It Suits This Industry
Large data centre facilities contain numerous secondary rooms electrical switch rooms, generator areas, cable management spaces that require humidity control but are too small for central system coverage. SDU units provide cost-effective, targeted protection at each of these critical secondary environments.
The SDU Series' proven reliability in chemically challenging environments including facilities handling corrosive, hygroscopic, and reactive materials makes it the most versatile portable dehumidification solution available to the chemical manufacturing sector in India.
