Air Sealing Grommets - Tate Access Floors

Improving Data Center Efficiency

Controlling Bypass Airflow in your Data CenterBypass airflow can have a significant impact on the coolingcapacity and efficiency of any data center. One key part of bestpractice design for raised floor data centers includes theelimination of bypass air. Bypass air is any air delivered into thedata center that is not consumed by the equipment andexhausted as waste heat. Common practices to reduce bypassair include the use of containment systems, blanking panels,angular or directional air delivery, and air sealing grommets for allwire and cable penetrations in the floor.Partnering to Provide Tate KOLDLOKTate has partnered with Upsite Technologies the makers ofKOLDLOK to bring you the most advanced wire & cablepenetration air sealing grommet available. This partnership wasforged from the common understanding that the raised floordesign is the most cost-effective and flexible way to future proofa data center. With raised floors a data center can handle largevolumes of wires, cables and other services, while efficientlycooling the heat loads of modern and next generation designs.Advantages of a Raised Floor• Easily adapt to technological and client changes over the datacenter’s life-cycle at low cost.• Offers the best overall solution for distributing water and otherliquid cooling agents to row and rack based equipment.• Water distribution lines placed under a raised floor pose lessthreat in the event of water leaks or condensation due tosystem failure.• Provides the ability to separate water, power and cable.• Ability to terminate cables wherever you need them withcomplete flexibility, accessibility, and unlimited capacity.• Reduced operating costs and lower facility and maintenancecosts through accessible, flexible, and adaptable services.• Underfloor service distribution space keeps the interior spaceclean and neat for proper air migration in-and-out of equipment.• Raised floors provide the platform for future scalability.• Ability to accommodate a range of cooling solutions whileincreasing efficiency and heat load capacities.• Flexibility to incorporate the most energy efficient designopportunities for cooling data centers.3
