Reducing Room-Level Bypass Airflow Creates Opportunities to Improve Cooling Capacity and Operating Costs

The misconception is that managing the openings of a raised floor, or even installing full containment solutions, will eliminate bypass airflow. The truth is that while these solutions solve intake air temperature problems, and may reduce operating costs of IT cooling fans, the volume of bypass airflow in the room remains unchanged. Detecting and correcting this room-level issue lies in a broader understanding of bypass airflow.
