Growth in the Data Centre and IT Infrastructure market is directly reliant on heating, energy, refrigeration, ventilation and air conditioning (HERVAC) systems which provide the most critical functions in any data centre operation. This is Part 1 of a two-part series.

The South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning’s (SAIRAC) flagship event FRIGAIR 2025 will profile approximately 150 leading HERVAC companies that play a vital role in the data centre and IT infrastructure markets. Taking place during 4-6 June 2025 at Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand, the event will showcase the latest products, technologies and developments enabling data centre growth.
Data centre integrated HERVAC systems are responsible for mitigating the large amounts of heat generated by data centre equipment to prevent overheating, failure and downtime. Air ventilation systems manage airflow, pressure and contaminant removal. HERVAC systems utilise specialised precision cooling systems designed for 24/7 climate control specific to the application. Humidity control is also of utmost importance to prevent static, condensation and corrosion which could negatively affect IT infrastructure.
Daikin South Africa, a global leader in climate control solutions, plans to leverage the FRIGAIR platform to demonstrate its evolution beyond air conditioning and establish itself as a comprehensive HVAC supplier that delivers complete comfort solutions across various industries. Industry professionals and stakeholders at the event will have the opportunity to explore Daikin’s diverse data centre solutions that ensure high-performance cooling solutions that protect vital technology infrastructure.
Cooling is one of the largest operational costs in a data centre, contributing 30-50% to total energy costs. Optimised HERVAC systems can improve overall energy efficiency, lowering operational costs. Data centre HERVAC systems also need to be highly reliable to ensure maximum uptime and minimum downtime.
