Concore® and Understructure Systems

There are 5 individual Airflow panels numbered below.

1. Double the cooling capacity of a typical grate:

The DirectAire® Al is an all aluminum lightweight directional airflow panel that uses patent pending technology to angle the air towards the equipment achieving a 93% Capture Index. This means that 93% of the airflow delivered through the airflow panel is entering the face of the server rack, providing the highest cooling capacity and energy efficiency of any aluminum airflow panel on the market.

2. Cool the same load with half the airflow:

DirectAire®

DirectAire® uses patent pending technology to angel the air towards the equipment achieving a 93% Capture Index. This means 93% of the airflow delivered through the airflow panel is entering the face of the server rack, providing the highest cooling capacity and energy efficiency of any airflow panel on the market. DirectAire has a 68% open area and a strong durable design that provides superior load performance. DirectAire is designed for a one-to-one paring with a standard 42U rack.

3. Ideal for single panel width cold aisles:

DirectAire X2 from Tate
DirectAire® X2

The DirectAire® X2 ability to deliver high volumes of air directly and evenly across the face of two server racks gives it the capacity to cool very high density equipment in a range of facility designs. DirectAire X2 is specifically designed for use in cold aisles that are only one airflow panel wide. The panel's angular throw evenly distributes the majority of the air it delivers directly to the face of the two opposite facing racks providing virtual containment when used in conjunction with the other airflow management best practices.

4. Same cooling capacity as a typical grate:

DirectPerf 32% from Tate
DirectPerf 32%

DirectPerf 32% angles the airflow toward the server rack to significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce bypass air. DirectPerf 32% provides nearly the same cooling capacity as a standard 56% open area grate using about half the airflow. The panel is designed with a unique combination of directional and vertical perforations which provides evenly distributed air flow across the entire face of a typical IT rack.

5. For high density cabinet or aisle containment systems:

GrateAire from Tate
GrateAire®

GrateAire® die cast aluminum panels are designed for new and existing data centre applications. The high strength, low weight all aluminum construction makes it the ideal solution for use in contained aisles with high foot traffic. Available with or without a damper, it can be adjusted from the top to restrict airflow by up to 100%. With the ability to perform the same amount of cooling as 3 perforated panels without comparable cost, GrateAire® is an affordable and cost effective airflow panel, ideal for use in contained aisles.
