Net-Contain
™
Vertical Exhaust System
VEDs separate the hot exhaust air from the cool air and direct the hot exhaust directly
into the hot air return system, allowing a higher return air temperature which improves
Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) and heat exchanger efciency. The Net-Contain
™
Vertical Exhaust Duct (VED) can be installed on top of Net-Access
™
Switch and Server
Cabinets, allowing the support of heat loads up to 30kW per cabinet.
