Frequently the cooled air flowing through raised floor panels does not
reach servers and IT equipment at top of the server cabinets. Hardware is not
cooled properly, overheats and can fail. High-plume airflow and high cold air
pressure can resolve these problems. Increasing static air pressure via the CRAC
units only increases energy costs and rarely gives the desired effect - pushing
cold air to the top of the server racks. The result of using inefficient perforated
floor tiles is enormous power consumption, ever increasing energy costs and
hotspots which shorten the life of data centre hardware. There is another solu-
tion that is cost effective and efficient - CoolControl Tiles are passive perforated
floor panels that have 65% airflow throughput ensuring cooler hardware and
lower energy costs.
Patented fin design with high airflow for optimum
cooling and efficiency
Conventional perforated raised
floor panels achieve airflow rates of
20-30%. The CoolControl Tile achieves
65% airflow as well as directing con-
ditioned air to the upper most levels of
server racks. The higher the flow rate,
the higher the volume of cold air that
reaches your rack equipment. It is
critical that the perforated raised 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 cool air is the primary factor in prevent-
ing system failures and downtime created by overheating and hotspots. Cool-
Control Tile‘s Hi-Plume Stratification Fin scoops air to the upper most servers,
while ensuring middle and lower servers also receive required cooling capacity.
Through this unique design server temperatures can be decreased by 3-8°C while
simultaneously lowering energy consumption. In choosing the most effective
perforated floor tiles, remember the following: The higher the airflow rate and the
higher the airflow stratification the lower the required cooling capacity resulting
in energy and cost savings.
