In my case, I had positive pressure in the room. That was a contributing
factor to my ceiling tiles blowing off. The added gas expanded the room
with nowhere to go except up and out. I believe the gas is heavier
than the air hence the air pushing up.
What does the manufacturer of the system sales < forget the sales
weens>?
Can you get the colo provider to pay some of the cost calling it
a building upgrade for the duration of the contract?
Good luck!
