Prevention of air recirculation

Consider these air recirculation factors when planning for single or multiple rack installations.

  • When racks are positioned adjacent to each other, ensure that the racks fit tightly together from side to side to prevent inter-rack air recirculation from the back to the front.
  • Air recirculation occurs over the top or around the side of a rack in a room that does not have a cooling system with sufficient airflow volume capacity. Ensure that the cooling system has adequate capacity for the room cooling load.
