Key Data Center Terminology
Specialist terms this trade works with every day. Click any term for a full definition.
A cooling infrastructure that circulates chilled water through pipes from a central plant to cooling units in the data center. The system typically includes chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and piping networks. Pipefitters install and connect the chilled water piping infrastructure during construction.
A fire suppression system that requires two triggers before water is released: a detection system activation and a sprinkler head activation. Pre-action systems are preferred in data centers because they reduce the risk of accidental water discharge over IT equipment. Fire protection installers with data center experience are required for proper installation.
