Blanking Panels For Data Centre Racks
Improving Data Centre Rack Airflow Management
Blanking Panels play a vital role in improving Data Centre Airflow Management.
Blanking panels or rack blanking plates stop hot server exhaust air from circulating back to the front of the rack. This is important because it prevents the hot exhaust air from mixing with the cold air cooling equipment. Additionally, they help avoid cooling issues such as hot spots and latent cooling. By blanking out unused rack space, these panels enhance airflow management, which aids in optimising cooling systems and leads to energy efficiency gains.
