A plenum fan tray to improve airflow to cabinets where underfloor static pressure is insufficient

HotSpotr consists of a family of powered airflow improvement products that move chilled data center air to precisely where it is needed the most, and remove heated exhaust air directly back to your Computer Room Air Conditioners (CRACs). This quick cooling fix is an excellent solution for removing hot spots without causing any downtime for your data center. Top-of-the-line Hotspotr models are thermostatically controlled by the temperature sensors that are included with the product. The airflow rates of less expensive models can be controlled by operators or will run continuously.

Proper airflow distribution is the key to providing cooling to ever higher density server racks. Failure to deliver enough cooling air to rack intakes causes recirculation of hot air and overheating of servers. Under floor obstructions such as pipes, cabling, cable trays etc. causes low static pressure and reduced flow from some perforated tiles and grates. Racks placed too close or too far away from CRAC units also face issues with low and even negative static pressure. The result is many data centers are overcooled just to manage a few hot spots.
