Dangers of Exhaust Air Circulation Exhaust air is part of the normal process and flow of IT equipment cooling, and is a vital piece of the puzzle to achieve data center efficiency (if managed correctly). But what is exhaust air “circulation”? Simply put, this is when...by Lars Strong | Mar 26, 2014 | Blog
4 Steps to Reducing Bypass Airflow In a recent post, we discussed how bypass airflow directly impacts your data center’s bottom line. So it’s a well-known fact that by reducing it, you can see many benefits such as increased cooling unit efficiency and capacity,...We are committed to providing excellent data center cooling products and tools. As part of our dedication to the science and art of data center cooling optimization, we offer timely and insightful research which addresses the demands and trends related to cooling optimization and cooling management. We also recommend industry-recognized best practices and solutions for maintaining data center cooling best practices.

KoldLok is the industry standard for sealing raised-floor data centers. Designed to limit bypass airflow by efficiently sealing openings in raised floors.
Our line of rack airflow management products, specifically designed to control intake airflow in server racks. Our award-winning blanking panels are considered the 'best-fitting' in the industry.
Our modular containment solution and line of aisle airflow management products are specifically designed to block airflow, ensuring hot and cold aisle separation.
Ensuring there’s no wasted cooling is vital. Accurate control of the airflow through KoldLok Grommets allows us to consider energy-savings strategies such as increasing CRAC set points.

After having hands-on experience with nearly every available product on the market, HotLok is by far the superior choice. Not only does it create the best seal, but its universal mounting system and finger grips make it the easiest to use and reuse.

We have looked and looked for a solution like KoldLok. If KoldLok had been around ten years ago, we probably would not have needed to add a cooling unit back then. It improves the efficiency of our cooling system a great deal.

Managing cooling in your data center is a holistic process. We've developed a methodology which we call the 4R's of Airflow Management which addresses the specific needs of aisle containment, floor containment, hot aisle containment and then monitoring of the facility. Each part of the 4R's addresses particular needs which build upon each other and enhance the effectiveness of cooling optimization efforts.

The other two important ΔTs – the temperature differential from IT equipment exhaust to cooling unit return intake and from cooling unit supply to IT equipment intake – will account for unexpected differences between the IT equipment ΔT and cooling equipment ΔT. In an...

One of the most successful programs in data center efficiency has to be Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which was launched about 20 years ago. The idea is to have PUE as close to 1 as possible. A 1.0 rating means all of the power coming into the data center is used...

There is not just THE ΔT and there are not even just two ΔTs in the data center. As a matter of fact, there are four different ΔTs which contribute to the health of the data center. Two of these temperature differentials are frequently considered as a single metric:...
