Hot Aisle Containment

(19" or 23" Netshelter VX Enclosure)

Hot aisle containment for high-density configurations.

The only enclosed hot aisle solution.
Mixing of hot and cold air streams in the data center lowers availability of IT equipment. Returning the warmest possible air to the computer room air conditioners increases the efficiency and capacity of the system. The hot aisle containment system ensures proper air distribution by completely separating supply and return air paths.
The hot aisle is sealed off using doors and transparent ceiling tiles that extend the width of the hot aisle. Ceiling tiles are available for both 19" and 23" racks. Two-rack kits complete with ceiling tile and hardware are available for future expansion.

Rack Air Removal Unit

(120v and 208/230v models)

Heat Removal for High-Density Enclosures.

The only manageable rack heat removal solution.
Densely packed enclosures can overheat IT equipment and cause downtime. High-density enclosures create an environment where traditional air distribution methods are not effective.
The Air Removal Unit captures exhaust heat, ducting it to the return air plenum and eliminating hot spots. Through automatic fan speed adjustment based on temperature or power consumption, a desired temperature can be set and fans will self-adjust for optimal energy efficiency.
The Rack Air Removal Unit provides fan redundancy in the event of fan failure, and power redundancy through dual corded input. This space saving product mounts to the back of the enclosure - requiring zero U space.

Rack Air Distribution Unit

(100v, 120v, 208/230v models)

Air Distribution for Power Dense Enclosures and Low Pressure Areas.

The first product to distribute conditioned air directly into the enclosure.
The Rack Air Distribution Unit is a 2U fan unit that works with an existing precision air conditioning system to deliver cool air to the equipment contained in a rack enclosure. The Rack Air Distribution Unit connects into the raised floor and pulls supply air directly into the enclosure. This prevents the conditioned air from mixing with warmer room air before reaching the equipment.
The Rack Air Distribution Unit minimizes temperature differences between the top and bottom of the enclosure. It also prevents hot exhaust air from recirculating to the inlet of the enclosure.
The product is recommended for rack enclosures with loads greater than 1.5kW and can provide airflow for loads up to 3.5kW. It is also ideal for enclosures in raised floor environments where underfloor air distribution is inadequate

Rack Side Air Distribution Unit

(120v and 208/230v models)

Air distribution for networking equipment with side to side airflow.

The first air distribution product for high-density equipment with side to side airflow
Housing equipment with side to side airflow creates many challenges for IT and facility managers, particularly in regards to cooling. Because most enclosures are designed for a front to back airflow pattern, it is difficult to maintain ideal operating temperatures on side to side airflow equipment. The Rack Side Air Distribution Unit allows for greater security and organization by allowing racks to be placed adjacent to one another without impeding airflow.
The Rack Side Air Distribution Unit is a 2U rack mountable air distribution product for networking equipment or servers with side to side airflow. It pulls in conditioned air from the front of the rack and distributes it to the side air intake of the networking equipment. This extends equipment life by providing proper inlet temperatures.
This product is recommended for one or more networking products that are stacked consecutively in a rack. Rack Side Air Distribution Units may be placed above and/or below the networking equipment. Airflow pattern is user configurable via an interchangeable air turning vane.

NetworkAIR™ IR

(40kW (12 ton) chilled water configuration)

In-Row precision air conditioning for data centers and computer rooms.

The world's only computer room air conditioning system with horizontal airflow for in-row operation.
Data center heat densities continue to increase, making it more difficult to provide adequate cooling. The distance between heat sources and heat removal systems must decrease to ensure proper airflow paths. The closer to the heat generation source the air conditioner is, the less likely mixing of hot and cold air streams will occur.
The NetworkAIR IR is a computer room air conditioning system with a horizontal airflow pattern specifically designed for hot aisle/cold aisle configurations. Warm exhaust air is drawn from the hot aisle, cooled, and distributed into the cold aisle, ensuring that equipment inlet temperatures will be constant and adequate for proper operation.
Closely coupling the air conditioner with the heat source produces warmer return air to the system. This increases the heat removal capacity of the system and nearly eliminates the need for make-up humidification.
