6" Extended Raised Floor Grommet
KoldLok 6" Extended Raised Floor Grommet
The KoldLok® 6" Extended raised floor grommet is designed to seal a variety of existing perimeter openings, with the added flexibility of modification for large and unique openings.
Based on measurements at multiple data centres, between 50% - 80% of conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due to unsealed flooring openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow, contributes to IT equipment hot spots, cooling unit inefficiencies and increasing infrastructure costs.
By sealing cable cut-outs with KoldLok® raised floor grommets you can address this bypass airflow, so drastically improving the cooling capacity within the data centre and preventing the detrimental effects bypass airflow has.
KoldLok® Benefits
- Increases existing cooling unit capacity
- Reduces the need to purchase additional cooling units
- Improves equipment reliability and extends equipment life
- Increases static pressure under the raised floor and improves cool air delivery through perforated tiles and floor grates
