Looking for a Simple Way to Improve Thermal Efficiency?

(Teddi: This blog post from CPI illustrates an easy way to manage airflow and stop recirculation of hot exhaust air without reconfiguring your entire data center. It really doesn't get better than this!)  

Blocking bypass airflow through cabinets is a critical component of any effective airflow management solution and may temporarily solve cooling issues without the need for additional ducted exhausts or aisle containment.

Chatsworth Products' (CPI) Snap-In Filler Panel is now available for threaded and square-punched equipment mounting rails. Snap-In Filler Panels greatly reduce bypass airflow and blocks recirculation of hot exhaust air from the back of equipment to the front—helping to improve on cooling costs. With tool-less installation and universal usability, this thermal management accessory is an ideal solution in air cooled data centers and computer rooms.

Key features include:

* Design reduces gaps between stacked filler panels

* Quick installation with tool-less design

* Integrated finger grips provide easy installation and removal

* Standard Black and Glacier White finish available

* Available in multi-packs for large installations

* Compatible with 0.375" (9.5 mm) square-punched or tapped equipment mounting holes

The Snap-In Filler Panel can be used in any cabinet or open rack that is equipped with 19" EIA square-punched or tapped equipment mounting rails.

Separation of hot and cold air is the critical catalyst to all other cooling system adjustments that lead to higher efficiency and savings. To learn more about the Snap-In Filler Panel or other thermal management accessories, click here.
