Introduction
Designed to seal a variety of existing perimeter openings, with the
added flexibility of modification for large and unique openings.
Based on measurements at multiple data centers, 50-80% of valuable
conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due
to unsealed floor openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow,
contributes to IT equipment hot spots, cooling unite inefficiencies,
and increasing infrastructure costs. KoldLok products specifically
address bypass airflow and its detrimental effects on data center
cooling.
Benefits
• Increases existing cooling unit capacity
• Reduces the need to purchase additional cooling units
• Improves equipment reliability and extends equipment life
• Increases static pressure under the raised floor and improves cool
air delivery through perforated tiles and floor grates
• Facilitates Cold Aisle/Hot Aisle best practices
Features
The new design is compatible with both 24 inch and 600 mm tiles. The
Grommets can be modified to seal unique cable openings. The Grommets
integrate with the raised floor static dissipation system, providing
1 GigaOhm of resistance. The Grommets contain no loose or partially
fastened parts, which can become separated or fall through the
raised floor. KoldLok products are compliant and Directive
2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and the Council on the
Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (RoHS). |
