Unlike a residential house that is hard to model accurately, I'm guessing 99% of the heat load of a DC comes from the servers inside it. So you can create a really good model of how much cooling you will need.
No idea, but perhaps they sized the AC for 39 degrees so they wouldn't spend money on condensers that they figured would never be used.
Or maybe the HVAC was sized for this load but has never been stress tested this hard before and running full throttle for so long produced unexpected failures.
