This in turn enables cooling system temperature set points to be increased (thereby saving energy) whilst still supplying the load within recommended ASHREA* operating temperatures.

FlexAisle® deployment benefits include:-

  • Eliminates air recirculation
  • Reduced CO² Emissions
  • Reduced AC energy consumption and operating costs
  • Improved DCiE / PUE ** Room Ratings
  • Improved company “Green Credentials”
  • Increased air-conditioning cooling capacity
  • Improved “inlet” temperature control
  • Reduced down time of server equipment
  • Reduction of humidification / dehumidification costs
  • Flexible airflow configuration options
