Ducted Thermal Management

 

 

Designed for use in all R.F.Mote cabinets, our cooling solutions utilize any combination of Perforated or Solid Doors, Fan Kits, Blanking plates, Air Stops, and Exhaust Ducts to maximize the utilization of available conditioned air to cool servers and effectively remove hot air through the rear and/or top of the enclosure.

R.F.Mote enclosures are designed to facilitate the use of both passive and active cooling options as required. Various options may be added to existing enclosures as densities and heat loads rise.


RFM-FORTRESS-1 with Optional Ducted Cooling solutions



Basic airflow management, within the cabinet, can involve a few simple steps.

Typically, heat loads of 2-4kW can be efficiently handled utilizing Perforated Front and Rear doors. The installation of Blank Plates to fill empty rack spaces and Air Stops help prevent the mixing of cool supply air with heated exhaust air within the enclosure.
As heat loads rise to the 4-8kW range Active cooling options, such as: top of enclosure Fan Systems may be added. This combination further enhances your equipment cooling effectiveness by better utilizing in-room conditioned air.
At this density, another step to increase cooling effectiveness is to prevent hot air recirculation outside of the enclosure. The installation of R.F.Mote EXFan Ducts and solid rear doors help direct exhausted air into the existing return air plenum. Isolating exhaust air and removing it from the room also reduces overall room temperature. In many cases, with lower heat loads, it is enough to have a passive air duct (operating without fans) above the cabinet.

When heat loads increase beyond 8kw Passive options such as R.F. Mote Perforated front and Solid rear doors, Air Stops and Blanking plates are deployed in conjunction with active cooling options, including, RFM-EXFAN top of enclosure fan units, along with RFM-EXFANDUCT hot air ducting unit to efficiently cool higher density heat loads up to 14 kw. Ducted cabinets equipped with exhaust fans eliminate exhaust air recirculation and improve server performance due to a reduction in internal pressure loss within the cabinet.
