Airflow Containment

Airflow Technology Division

Instor Solutions and Triad Floors

Triad's ICE^TM tile improves Airflow Utilization Efficiency (AUE) by accelerating airflow through the center of the perforated tile passively, using the tile's patented Hi-Plume fin.

Triad ICE^TM Vs. Traditional

1. The Hi-plume fin in Triad's ICE^TM tile ensures positive flow out of every part of the tile (no short cycling) vs. negative pull at the front of standard tiles
2. It should divert the air to the servers so it can penetrate the boundary layer of heat on the front side of the cabinet or rack.
3. It should be able to "stratify" the air to the top of the cold aisle. Servers need a constant flow of air to keep them cool. ICE^TM panels create 7 feet of stratification vs. the standard 3-5 feet.

KoldLok & HotLok

Upsite Technologies

Upsite Technologies is an innovator of engineered sealing solutions and its products and services currently optimize more than 6 million square feet of data center space. Upsite and Instor provide simple, cost effective solutions that are well respected by IT and facilities professionals.

We enjoy working with Upsite for several reasons. They have a strong reputation in the IT community for offering a straightforward approach to energy conservation in the data center. Their products and advice are based on best practice and real world experience in data centers across the country, thereby providing the most accurate, reliable solutions for data center power reduction available.

In our experience, Upsite's HotLok is a great alternative to expensive blanking panels; it works better and delivers a higher return on investment. HotLok is the easiest blanking panel on the market to install-it's toolless! We also recommend KoldLok because it's a simple and inexpensive way to permanently reduce energy consumption in a raised floor environment.

Key Products

• KoldLok: an airflow and thermal management solution that seals raised floor cable openings.
• HotLok: blanking panels that reduce hotspots and bypass airflow by preventing equipment exhaust air or hot-aisle air from migrating to the conditioned air-intake stream at the front of the cabinet.
