4 FAQs about Air-cooled distribution cabinet cabinet base station

What is a Delta Air Distribution Unit (ADU)?

Delta's Air Distribution Unit (ADU) is designed to address this problem. Its air supply capacity of up to 1000 CFM assists in the delivery of cold air to the cabinet location where greater heat dissipation is required, to remove hot spots. Delta's ADU is easily attached to dedicated raised floors.

How does cabinet air work?

A small portion of the air flows around the servers (referred to as 'cabinet air') and ascends toward the top of the cabinet under the influence of the thermal plume generated by the servers (average velocity in the z -direction (m/s) / average velocity in y -direction (m/s) = 0.65), creating a temperature gradient in the vertical direction.

How does a remote air distribution unit (ADU) work?

However, as the cold air is delivered to a remote rack, air flow is reduced. Raised floors are often laid with cables and pipes that hinder the delivery of cold air and result in major hot spot issues. Delta's Air Distribution Unit (ADU) is designed to address this problem.

How does air cooling work in a data center?

Currently, air cooling remains the dominant cooling approach for data centers, operating by delivering cold air to equipment and exhausting heated air to complete heat exchange .
