Low Cost/No Cost Strategies
Managing airflow is critically important to
data center operation. If there's excess airflow, you're
wasting money and energy. If there's too little, you risk
downtime or equipment failures.
42U's low cost/no cost data center products
have one purpose: finding that happy medium to make cooling
more effective. Contact a 42U solutions specialist for a

Eliminate Bypass Airflow
Bypass airflow-conditioned air which does no
productive cooling-wastes the energy required to cool and
move air and often results in insufficient supply
temperatures and air volume (CFM) for the equipment.
42U offers the following products to combat
bypass airflow:
Rack Blanking Panels
Blanking panels prevent supply airflow from
bypassing through unoccupied rack spaces. They also ensure
that server exhaust air, destined for the hot aisle, does
not recirculate through the cabinet.
42U's blanking panels install toollessly into any 19" EIA
standard rack and present a quick, simple, effective
solution to improve cooling performance.

Floor Grommets
Bypass airflow commonly escapes through
cutouts in raised floors (One data center's internal study
revealed roughly 35% of the total supply air was lost to
bypass airflow, which escaped through cable cutouts under
floormount PDUs ). This dilemma is familiar to a number of
data center operators, who often have a maze of cables,
conduits, and pipes under the raised floor, all of which
terminate above the floor tiles.
Floor Grommet
42U's specifies and sells floor grommets and
foam blocks that seal cutouts for cables, piping, and
conduits. These products enable a number of efficiency
gains:
- 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
