Passive cooling (use of the ambient air)

The air cooled via the regular ambient air or via the building's air-conditioning system is routed into the raised floor for rack cooling.

1) Horizontal ventilation
A high air throughput, stylish design and outstanding security are provided by the doors (with 78 % free surface area per door) of the server racks.

2) Vertical ventilation
Ventilation base/plinth, roof vent and slotted component shelves ensure heat dissipation.

3) Air baffle system
Cool air from the raised floor is routed over the base/plinth and distributed via the door in a targeted manner.

 

4) Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC)

Doors with 78 % open surface area (diagram 1) or openings in the base/plinth and roof (diagram 2) ensure maximum air throughput via convection in conjunction with the fans.
