Cooling products are AHRI Certified
Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power, has announced its Liebert cooling products are AHRI Certified. Vertiv is said to be the first US-based company to achieve this certification for data centre cooling systems. AHRI is an independent organization that certifies the performance of products in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and water heating industry (HVACR).
The AHRI certification programs comply with ISO Guide 65 and technical standards, based on sound engineering practices, to rate HVACR equipment efficiency and capacity.
Vertiv participation in AHRI’s globally-recognized certification program provides assurance to customers that Liebert cooling products included in the AHRI program will perform accurately and consistently as documented. Until now customers had to rely on the accuracy of published data without the benefit of highly respected third party validation.
“Vertiv is pleased our Liebert cooling products are now AHRI certified,” said John Peter (JP) Valiulis, vice president of North America thermal management marketing, Vertiv. “AHRI certification enables data center customers to accurately compare the capacity and efficiency of cooling systems that have been evaluated using rigorous performance testing standards. It also validates the Liebert Rating System, a tool developed by Vertiv engineers to validate cooling system performance metrics that we submit to AHRI for certification.”
“We are happy to have Vertiv as part of the AHRI certification program for Datacom cooling equipment,” said Bill Tritsis, vice president, certification for AHRI. “Companies that choose to have their products certified demonstrate an admirable commitment to their customers. And by specifying equipment from manufacturers that participate in AHRI’s performance certification programs, customers can be assured that installed equipment will perform as claimed.”
