Maximising the segregation of heat laden air and cooled air has several benefits for the
Data Centre operator and can be achieved relatively simply. Segregating the incoming
cooled and heat laden return air improves the efficiency of Data Centre air conditioning
or cooling plant. Furthermore, air segregation ensures the utilisation of the full cooling
potential of the cooled air and eliminates the inefficiencies associated with bypass air.
The result is greater cooling effectiveness at reduced air volumes, improved cooling
plant performance and ultimately an improved PUE.
Eaton's B-Line Business offers a comprehensive range of modular rack air segregation
and blanking options designed to optimise airflow into and out of the rack space.
