ASHRAE TC 9.9 recommended inlet air temperature ranges for most IT equipment are:
Correct: (a) Defined environmental classes allowing wider bands than legacy 20–25°C-only designs. TC 9.9 classes support higher supply temps where equipment allows, improving economizer hours.
A CRAH (Computer Room Air Handler) differs from a CRAC primarily because:
Correct: (a) CRAH uses chilled water coils while CRAC typically has integral refrigeration. CRAHs are air handlers connected to central chiller plants; CRACs are self-contained DX units.
