Upsite Technologies Expands its Cabinet Recirculation Research to Demonstrate Significant Impact of Blanking Panels on Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Upsite added to its HotLok® Blanking Panel research with a study about the efficiencies and savings afforded by installing its award-winning product in IT server cabinets
Santa Fe, NM (Vocus/PRWEB ) June 24, 2009 -- Upsite Technologies, Inc., leading developer of highly engineered airflow solutions for the data center, has added to its HotLok® Blanking Panel research with a recent study about the efficiencies and savings afforded by installing the award-winning HotLok Blanking Panel in IT server cabinets. The HotLok Blanking Panel took home the best new product Gold award in TechTarget's SearchDataCenter.com's infrastructure category for 2008, for its 99.97 percent effective seal of IT server cabinets.
The HotLok Blanking Panel - award-winning for its 99.97 percent effective seal of IT server cabinets.
The original HotLok Blanking Panel research has been expanded to include two financial impact studies in a white paper titled Seal IT Equipment Cabinets for Significant Annual Cost Savings and Simple Payback in a Few Short Months. The paper examines real-life scenarios of two data centers of differing challenges and sizes to demonstrate how installing HotLok Blanking Panels can help data center managers achieve up to 29 percent reduction in annual operating costs and simple payback in a few short months. The paper is available to the public in the Learn More/White Paper section of upsite.com.
The first release of this study included a two-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, which compared the effect of different types of blanking panels on airflow patterns and IT equipment intake-air temperatures within server cabinets. HotLok Blanking Panels proved the highest effective seal to prevent the circulation of hot exhaust air to the IT equipment intakes. Competitor products, which leave gaps between panels and equipment, allow 19 percent hot exhaust air circulation, which can re¬duce the reliability of equipment and unnecessarily reduce the efficiency and capacity of cooling units, ultimately resulting in higher operating costs.
