4. Best Practice:
Optimise airflow through perforated floor tiles
To ensure cooled air makes its way through the front of the
cabinets and servers with ample pressure, it is necessary to have high
density perforated floor tiles. To create an optimal pathway, it is
advised to use high density airflow vented floor tiles which allow high-
plume stratification. While conventional vented floor tiles achieve
airflow rates of 20-30%, our solutions provide up to 65% airflow. The
higher the flow rate, the higher the volume of cold air that reaches
your rack equipment. It is critical that the vented floor tiles provide
enough cold air via high-plume stratification. Only then can the cold
air reach the top of the cabinets to cool the upper most hardware.
Sufficient cold air is the primary factor in preventing system failures
and downtime created by overheating. The formula for the best choice
of vented floor tiles is simple: Higher airflow rate and air pressure
equal lower required cooling capacity resulting in increased energy and cost savings.
Not only does the airflow
rate matter, but also the strength
of the perforated floor tiles. These
panels often carry fully loaded cabinets.
Conventional vented floor tiles manage to carry a maximum weight of 200 - 300kg - without tightened
edges. Our CoolControl Vented Floor Tile can reliably carry between 680 and 1360kg. Of course easy
access is also required. The patent protected integrated Lift-n-Lock
®
handles allow you to lift the floor
panel without any tools.
