Automated Cooling Systems

Deploy switches in any rack and effectively deliver cool air using SwitchAir
and EC Containment Cooling systems - cool network switches in high heat environments

Network Switch Cooling

Effective cool air delivery for network switches with varying airflow patterns

sa2-app-photoASHRAE increased the acceptable intake temperature to 80.6 ºF (27 ºC) specifically to improve data center cooling efficiency. Increasing your supply air temperature to the IT equipment space is the most significant step you can take to improve efficiency. This practice allows chillers to operate for fewer hours… 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 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 (click diagrams to enlarge)

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.
