Complete Hot Air/Cold Air Separation is Critical
to Energy Ef ciency and Capacity Utilization
Panduit’s Energy Ef cient Data Center Cabinet System offers containment, in-cabinet ducting, and improved sealing that optimizes air separation and provide
superior energy savings compared to competitive offerings.
Optimized energy ef ciency and capacity utilization begin with improved sealing. Even small air leaks within a cabinet will impact data center energy ef ciency,
regardless of the heat load. Leaks allow hot air recirculation forcing IT equipment inlet fans to work harder and consume more energy, limiting per cabinet power
utilization. Panduit

Cabinets reduce the air leakage typical in competitive cabinets by as much as 80%.
The graphics below illustrate the impact these leaks have on inlet temperatures. By preventing hot air recirculation, a more consistent inlet temperature gradient
can be realized across the entire front of the cabinet allowing the data center set point to be raised. This results in reduced cooling expense leading to the ability
to increase density power usage per cabinet, and increase available capacity.
With improved cabinet sealing, in-cabinet ducting, containment, and monitoring, the results show you can signi cantly
increase energy ef ciency by raising the set point temperature in the entire data center.
