It's the season?

(TL;DR: after some other shenanigans the AC blew cold air at the hot side of the rack) made me remember the one quite cold monday when /me opened the door to the server-room to swap the backup-tapes and walked into a >40°C hothouse.... oh ... (scramble etc)
to spare y'all the giddy expectations: the <expert> (?HPC?) responsible for sizing this AC-unit (separate from the rest of the building, also designed by said expert) did not consider that a server-room requires AC 24 x 7 x 52 and it is not
to shut down the unit because it's fucking cold (below -17°) outside to prevent some-damage-or-other to the AC, bursting pipes and such.
: this happened ~2015 and not some 13 years agoThanks, Greta.

Well, we're already living in interesting times...

would the system still work if the compressor was being spun at slow speed to keep the fluid running and just use ambient heat transfer? Surely this is a solved problem....

@Tsaukpaetra either that or simply use an AC-unit which does not suffer do this.
AFAIR the company involved said ".. we've never done a serverroom-AC before.." or some shite in that direction. (in Jeremy Clarksons voice: 'How hard can it be?")This one 'special' unit got replaced four times already, seems to be ..err.. stable now. knocks on wood
