When Your Data Centre’s Thermal Load Spikes...
Critical Cooling Solutions Tailored to Your Data Centre
At Celsius Hire, we focus on two things that really matter for data centres: heat load testing and emergency or contingency cooling.
If you’re commissioning a new site, upgrading your infrastructure, or checking redundancy systems, our heat load testing solutions let you safely simulate the heat of a fully operational data hall. That means you can be sure your cooling setup can handle real-world conditions, even during peak loads, before anything goes live.
And if things don’t go to plan, we’re ready to respond with hire chillers, air handling units, and all the kit you need to keep your environment stable in that all-important 20–25 °C range.
What we can offer:
Built Around Your Infrastructure, Not Just the Thermostat
Data centre cooling isn’t about comfort, it’s about uptime. Whether you’re validating new systems or responding to failure, Celsius Hire delivers heat load testing and emergency cooling solutions built around the unique demands of your infrastructure.
We start with a free site survey, assess heat loads and layout, then deploy tailored systems fast. During the recent heatwave, for example, we delivered a 125 kW chiller and 150 kW AHU to a live data centre within hours, complete with 50 m of ducting and full installation. Server room temperatures were stabilised quickly, avoiding downtime and protecting critical equipment.
From specification to installation and technical support, we manage everything! So when heat builds, your data stays safe.

Product Highlights
Chiller Hire Built for Data Centre Demands
When cooling is critical to uptime, there’s no room for compromise. At Celsius Hire, our chiller fleet, ranging from compact 7 kW units to high-capacity 900 kW systems, is engineered to support data centre environments where temperature control is vital.
Every chiller hire includes full integration support, with buffer tanks, pumps, hoses, and cabling provided as standard. Our team handles everything from site survey and spec to installation and commissioning, so you get a fully managed, no-fuss cooling package.
Targeted Airflow Solutions for Critical Spaces
Air handling is just as important as water-side cooling when it comes to maintaining stable, consistent conditions in server rooms and comms spaces. Our fleet of AHUs and fan coils, with capacities from 30 kW to 150 kW, offers a flexible way to direct cooling exactly where it’s needed, whether you’re simulating load during commissioning or managing hot spots during a cooling failure.
From initial planning to out-of-hours installation and ongoing technical support, we build each hire package around the specific needs of your facility. No guesswork, just a reliable, ready-to-go solution when every second counts.
Trusted By Industry-Leaders
We have been selected as the trusted partner for clients who are in need of temporary heating equipment – whether you’re a contractor for a large corporation, or prefer to keep operations in house, there’s no job too big.

Typically, pressurised, clean data centres are held between 20‑25 °C to ensure optimal server reliability. Celsius Hire units are selected to keep temps in this window.
Absolutely! We operate 24/7 support lines, and equipment can be delivered and installed the same day or next, especially if you have a pre‑arranged contingency plan.
Yes! Heater emulators and associated cooling systems are part of our offerings. We help you test your cooling capacity, heat rejection, and overall system resilience.
We do both. We can integrate chillers, AHUs or fan coils onto your existing infrastructure, or deploy standalone and temporary systems depending on your requirements.
