CRAC, CRAH & Data Center Airflow Cleaning
Cooling and airflow systems are critical to maintaining stable operating conditions within data centers. Our CRAC, CRAH, and airflow cleaning services are designed to remove dust and particulate contamination from cooling units, return air pathways, and airflow infrastructure without disrupting live operations.
By keeping cooling systems clean, we help data center operators maintain consistent temperatures, improve energy efficiency, and protect sensitive IT equipment from contamination-related risks.
Why Cooling & Airflow Cleaning Is Essential
CRAC (Computer Room Air Conditioning) and CRAH (Computer Room Air Handling) units continuously circulate air throughout the data center. Over time, dust and debris accumulate on unit surfaces, return air plenums, and airflow pathways, reducing system efficiency and reintroducing contaminants into the environment.
Without proper airflow cleaning:
- Cooling efficiency declines
- Dust circulates through the data center
- Equipment operates at higher temperatures
- Energy usage increases
- Risk of hardware failure rises
Regular professional cleaning supports reliable, predictable cooling performance.
Our CRAC / CRAH & Airflow Cleaning Process
Our airflow cleaning services are carefully planned to protect live environments while delivering thorough results.
Our process includes:
- Cleaning of CRAC and CRAH unit exterior surfaces
- HEPA-filtered cleaning of return air plenums
- Removal of dust from airflow pathways and grilles
- Cleaning around cooling intakes and exhaust areas
- ESD-safe methods and controlled cleaning techniques
- Coordination with facilities and operations teams
All work is performed without interfering with system operation or airflow balance.
Benefits of Professional Airflow Cleaning
- Improved cooling efficiency
- Cleaner air circulation
- Reduced contamination of IT equipment
- Lower operating temperatures
- Enhanced energy efficiency
- Support for compliance and audit readiness
Maintaining clean airflow systems is essential for protecting uptime and system reliability.
ESD Safety & Operational Coordination
Cleaning around active cooling systems requires careful coordination and risk management. Our technicians follow ESD-safe cleaning protocols and work within approved access and change management procedures.
Our approach ensures:
- Safe cleaning near live equipment
- No disruption to airflow or redundancy
- Controlled execution within operational constraints
Facilities That Benefit From Airflow Cleaning
Our CRAC, CRAH, and airflow cleaning services are suitable for:
- Enterprise data centers
- Colocation facilities
- Cloud and hyperscale environments
- Edge data centers
- Technical facilities with controlled airflow systems
Each facility receives a tailored cleaning plan based on cooling design and operational requirements.
If your data center relies on continuous, efficient cooling to protect critical systems, professional airflow cleaning is essential. Our CRAC and CRAH cleaning services help maintain stable temperatures, cleaner air, and long-term equipment reliability.
