Partitioning off perimeter corridors SAVES ENERGY, which SAVES MONEY!

Creating dedicated “hot and cold aisles” or “rack and row” data center equipment placement configurations with PLENAFORM increases the static pressure delivering a higher volume of cooling through perforated tiles and at a further distance from the CRAC units. The Venturi effect is attained, whereby more air pressure rises in the dedicated cold aisles.

With the deployment of PLENAFORM, a “VUF” vertical under floor partitioning system, air flow distribution may be directed more efficiently from the CRAC units for maximum equipment air cooling or air blocking requirements in a data center raised floor plenum space.

Installing PLENAFORM to direct air flow from the “source of the air” plenum level, a data centre manager can better achieve a thermally tuned data centre. Integrating PLENAFORM into the data centre design helps to mitigate thermally associated risk to equipment hardware.

The key word here is high density computing and PLENAFORM helps to solve thermal imbalances in your data centre environment simply and inexpensively!

Do you want to lower your Data Centre energy consumption?

Not a problem with PLENAFORM. Decide where you want the air to flow, snap the panels together at the desired height for the under floor space, drop them in, and attach them to the pedestals.

PLENAFORM is a passive and contributory holistic solution that can be easily installed as an effective “VUF” or vertical under floor partitioning system, to direct air flow within the plenum space.

PlenaForm directs the source of the cold air from the CRAC units to where the air is needed most.

PLENAFORM helps to maintain the static pressure further away from a CRAC unit and is a simple solution to cool thermal hot spots in your Data Centre.

Since PLENAFORM is fire-rated they can even be used to make vertical blanking panels between racks or on the sides of open server racks to keep hot air from wrapping around and mixing with the intake air.

Plenaform Installation Guide

A flexible, snap together, air flow baffle system which helps to solve dynamic thermal imbalances in data centres.

PLENAFORM is scored both vertically and horizontally so sections can be removed or added onto to meet any height or width requirement. All angles of bend radius may be attained, including inside and outside mounting to raised floor pedestals.

Continuous punch out hole pattern allows attachment to any style raised floor pedestal at any height or width location with cable ties.

PLENAFORM is formed from a flame retardant polypropylene compound that is inert, non-conductive, and non-hygroscopic.

PLENAFORM has many uses:

1. Seal off below tape auto loaders to stop tape reader condensation.
2. Seal off under PDU’s.
3. Works above the floor to stop lateral heat transfers in server racks.
4. Create dedicated return air paths above ceilings.
5. Create CRAC extension intake heads.
