MEMORANDUM TO USERS OF E/M POWER SUPPLIES IN RACK INSTALLATION

All  E/M  power supplies  have  been  designed  and tested  to  provide  full  rated current  and  voltage

throughout the specified line voltage range at the rated ambient air temperature.  To achieve this

maximum  rating,  airflow  as  provided  by  the  internal  fans,  proportioned  and  directed  by  chassis

openings and internal partitions, must not be impeded.
On  the  ESKI  supplies,  air  enters  the  unit  from  the  front,  at  the  location  of  the  fan,  and  is

transferred  through  the  supply  in  a  horizontal  direction  toward  the  rear.    Airflow  is  reduced  any

time there is a negative pressure at the air inlet or positive pressure at the air outlet.  Each fan is

capable  of  providing  100  to  130  cubic  feet  per  minute  of  air  flow  (CFM)  at  zero  static  pressure.

The supply itself produces some restrictions to this flow so that approximately 80% of the airflow is

available.  As static pressure increases, caused by additional restriction of airflow external to the

power  supply,  the  efficiency  of  the  fans  drops  significantly  and  airflow  is  greatly  reduced.    This

reduction in airflow causes a substantial increase in internal temperatures of the supply, frequent

thermostat shut down and reduced power supply reliability.
Ideally, when power supplies are mounted in a rack, the rack should have no sides or rear covers.

Since this is usually not practical or safe, the installer must consider the effect of any enclosure on

power supply airflow.  Since the power supplies must be supported by some sort of rail along the

sides of the supply, front to rear, this rail must be chosen for proper strength but must not be either

too  close  to  or  extend  up  too  far  along  the  side  of  the  supply  or  airflow  will  be  blocked.    To

minimize vertical height use an angle iron of substantial cross section and unequal leg dimension.

Do not support the power supply from the front panel only, in an attempt to minimize this problem.

The rail does not need to be continuous from the front to back to support the supply, but for safety

and ease of installing and removing the supply it usually is.
Most commercial racks are available with louvered side panels and doors.  Side panels are also

available with an extended depth which provides an additional plenum space on each side of the

rack for improved airflow.
The ambient air, especially in a tropical climate can also be very hot.  Frequently, high humidity is

also present.  This situation, while not ideal for power supply longevity, should in itself cause little

difficulty.    When  combined  with  insufficient  airflow,  however,  it  can  significantly  affect  power

supply.
