APC NetShelter Airflow Management: Thermal Solutions for Data Centre Efficiency
APC NetShelter Airflow Management solutions by Schneider Electric are essential for maintaining optimal operating temperatures and improving data centre cooling efficiency. By eliminating bypass airflow and preventing the recirculation of hot exhaust air, these components ensure that cold air is directed precisely where it’s needed: your mission-critical IT equipment.
Effective thermal management is the foundation of PUE optimisation. Whether you are managing a single network cabinet or a large-scale enterprise facility, integrating APC airflow accessories helps reduce energy costs and extends the lifespan of your hardware.
Toolless Blanking Panels: Quickly seal unused rack space (1U to bulk kits like AR8136BLK) to prevent hot air from leaking back to the intake.
Side Airflow Ducting: Specifically designed for networking switches and side-to-side airflow equipment.
Pass-Through Brush Strips: Allow for high-density cabling while maintaining a tight seal to preserve static pressure.
Vertical Exhaust Ducts (VED): Enable hot aisle containment strategies by ducting exhaust air directly into the return plenum.
Investing in APC NetShelter Airflow Management is the most cost-effective way to eliminate hotspots and ensure your IT infrastructure remains stable under high-density loads.
