Plenum Feed with Room Return
The
CONTEG Plenum Feed with Room Return solution optimises the use of
cooled air by directing the cooled air directly from the raised floor
to the equipment within the rack. The rack sits onto a special
positioning welded frame which replaces a standard 600 x 600 floor
tile. A deflector located
in the bottom of the rack directs the cold air to the front of the rack
to be drawn through the equipment mounted inside.
Cooled
air is kept within the rack by a solid front door which can be either
glass or metal depending on preference and hot exhaust air is rejected
into the room through a super-vented rear door ensuring that cold
supply and hot exhaust air-streams remain separated leading to more
efficient use of the cooled air and elimination of hot spots.
A
variable flowrate Louvre can be installed to control air-flow rates or
shut air supply off if no equipment is fitted into the rack. One
significant advantage of the Plenum Feed Room Return system is the
flexibility of floor planning. Dedicated hot and cold aisles are no
longer required as the rack contains and separates the hot and cold
airstreams. Direct rack cold air feed requires the use of air-separation frames for maximum efficiency.
Plenum feed with room return optimises the use of cooled air by directing the cooled air directly from the raised floor to the equipment within the rack.
Separation frame
is used for minimizing by-pass airflow between columns and extrusions.
Thanks to this function is separation frame basic feature when cool
zone inside the rack is planned. The rack is easily and stably mounted to a raised floor by using the positioning welded plinth.
Positioning plinth has welded structure and thanks to its size 600 x
600 mm replaces a standard floor tile. Using positioning welded plinth
sit not only the rack onto the raised floor but also helps to lead the
cold air directly to the rack.
Deflector is
located in the bottom part of the rack and is used to lead the cold air
directly to the cold zone in front part of a rack. Deflector can be
equipped with louvre which helps to control air-flow rates or shut air
supply off if no equipment is fitted into the rack.

Recommended Plenum feed with room return rack design
Cold air enters the rack directly through the plinth and is directed using an air deflector to the area in front of the uprights. An air separation frame and solid front door (glass or steel) is then used to create a "cold zone" in front of the equipment inside the rack. A super-vented rear door allows warm exhaust air to easily exit the rack.
- Front glass door with multipoint swivel handle lock
- Rear vented door (83% perforation rate) with multipoint swivel handle lock
- Removable sheet steel side panels with lock
- Two pairs of 19" vertical sliding extrusions
- Top and bottom openings for cable entry; removable top plate (only RDF racks)
- Adjustable feet; combined with positioning welded frame DP-PRF-ROF-60/60
Data Center Cooling
Deployments are ideally suited to deployments which utilise
central room cooling with locally positioned close control units. Since
2008, CONTEG is an official partner of the global leader
in precision cooling. Please, feel free to contact us. We will be glad
to help you, together with our colleagues, with your project
whatever it is a project requiring simple cooling solution or an
enormous central cooling capacity. Read MoreDatacenter and server room CFD modeling services
Computational
Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling is a technical service designed to
provide the detailed data to assess and track the temperature and air
flow within your existing or proposed data center, server room or main
equipment room.Working with your design team the Conteg team of
specialists will assist in the space planning and layout, then model

standardized data communication protocols. Read MoreProduct / project Support:
When preparing a complex network
project, consultants, designers or the end user IT department can
benefit from the advice or support of our product managers. Incorrect
estimation of the requirements for a project, whether under-sizing an
air-conditioning system or simply failing to allow adequate space for
cable management, can have a drastic impact on the reliability of the
installed equipment and the functionality of the facility as a whole.
With our product managers´support you will be able to select the most suitable rack type for installation of any instrumentation, its power supply, cooling or just maybe only the correct system of cable management.
