We noticed this - the air con would freeze up if we had a cold snap.

Eventually after much bitching, and server downtime due to overheating
(the server room is small, and so when the aircon fails, it heats up
rapidly) we had a larger unit installed (relocated from elsewhere in the
office).

A couple of days later, I went to switch on our old test server, which
I'd powered down to try and reduce the heat output while the aircon was
dodgy, and it was warm to the touch...

This was a bit odd, and then I saw the radiator behind it...
