Panduit Net-Access™ Cabinet Doors Keep Data Center Equipment Cool and Secure

Airflow Test Results and Analysis

Figure 4 shows airflow resistance curves from the test results for the perforated sheet samples and

for a Panduit perforated door. As expected, higher percent open area samples had lower

resistance to airflow.

Figure 4. Perforated sample flow testing results through a 20-inch square duct.

Because test results through a 20-inch square duct do not directly represent data center cabinet

cooling conditions, the results need to be related to the airflow of IT equipment. Panduit has server

airflow data from previous tests. Figure 5 shows the airflow performance curves of sample servers

while they operate at typical CPU utilization levels. The results shown in Figure 5 are for 1 RU and

2 RU servers as well as a 9 RU blade server.
