RAISED FLOOR GROMMET NEWSBYPASS AIRFLOWBased on measurements at multiple data centers, 50-80% of valuable conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due to unsealed floor openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow, contributes to IT equipment hotspots, cooling unit inefficiencies, and increasing infrastructure costs . Memtech raised floor products work to help control bypass airflow saving money and decreasing energy use. Call for a sample or pricing today! AIRFLOW MANAGEMENTThe efficiency and effectiveness of a datacenter conditioning system is influenced by the airflow path, regulation of temperature and quantity of cooling air delivered to the IT equipment. Controlling where and how well waste hot air is removed from the equipment contributes to the overall success of data center energy efficiency. When waste hot air is allowed to mix with the cooling air systems more energy is keep the air temperature low. Damming the air with a bottom brush seal or controlling air flow around raised floor grommets is effectively done with Memtech nylon brush seals. Memtech Raised Floor products work effectively to help your data center:

Mixing of waste hot air exhaust and air leakages significantly increase the amount of energy needed to operate a data center and result in an increase in energy costs and usage. The Federal Government is working to establish incentives for data centers to decrease their energy use and costs. It is recognized that data centers across the world are contributing to a fair percentage of the energy demands in the U.S. and across the world. Data centers working to minimize their energy usage can make immediate decreases in their energy demands by designing and controlling air flow. Memtech raised floor products can serve as an effective tool to control air flow in raised floor systems and on data center racks.
"Data center energy consumption doubled from 2000 to 2006, reaching more than 60 billion kilowatt hours per year. That number could double again by 2011." “Data centers within the Untied States operate continuous at energy intensive levels. Data center electricity consumption has been estimated at 1.2 percent of total U.S. electricity demand in 2005. Data centers are experiencing significant growth, making this one of the fastest growing energy-use industries that is and will continue to impact the electrical supply and distribution systems.” To read more on the Federal Energy Management Plan visit: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/program/dc_energy_consumption.html
