<div dir="ltr">Similar situation in Fredonia where all the racks for two theaters worth of ETC racks - about 400 dimmers got a whole room to themselves with standalone AC and sound deadening. The IT folks liked it so much that they put much of their gear in there as well. Very cool solution. Pun intended.<div>Steve Rees</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>Stephen E.

They installed a 10ton unit just for the 15'x15' dimmer room. Two SR48 racks, one small bucking transformer and the emergency transfer panel. I assume they their calculations was total heat loss by the 192 dimmers.<br>

Because of ambient air temp in the adjoining hallway keeps the room fairly cool anyway, the A/C rarely ever runs. I also hardwired the fan circuit of the thermostat so the fan runs continuously, that way nobody can shut it off.<span class="im HOEnZb"><br>

Apparently, this is not a consideration of all<br>
consultants/architects/engineers, I can think of one company that has<br>
repeatedly ignored cooling to the dimmer room.<br>
