Network Switch Cooling
Effective cool air delivery for network switches with side-to-side, side-to-rear and rear-to-front airflow
New Release: SwitchAir 2U Network Switch Cooling
Maintain a perfectly controlled environment for your network switches with SwitchAirTM and EC Containment CoolingTM Systems
The industry is increasing the supply air temperature delivered to the IT equipment space to improve data center efficiency. With raised supply air temp, chillers are operational less of the time and chillers consume the most energy in a typical cooling circuit. ASHRAE recently increased the acceptable intake temperature to 80.6 ºF (27 ºC) specifically for improved data center cooling efficiency. This is all good news for efficiency gains but is causing failures with network operations.
Switch port density makes it very convenient to place network switches facing the rear of rack where sever port density resides to simplify network cabling. Due to switch high-port density, intake air is typically at the sides of the switch chassis with heat exhaust out the rear or other side of the network switch chassis.
SwitchAir 2U ensures up to two rear mounted switches are able to receive the required cool air from outside the rack. Use SwitchAir Cooling for effective cool air delivery to rear rack mounted 1U switches.

Network Switch Cooling with Opengate EC Rack Heat Containment Systems
Heated exhaust air from network equipment is directed to the rear top of the rack and exhausted out through the exhaust duct. Cool air enters the rack front and provides a blanket of cool air along the side of the network switch.
