Data Center Airflow Management
KoldLok is the industry standard for sealing raised-floor data centers. Designed to limit bypass airflow by efficiently sealing openings in raised floors.
Koldlok 1010 Grommet
Designed to seal openings in new raised floor cutouts prior to the installation of communications or power cabling. Based on measurements at multiple data centers, on average 48% of valuable conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due to unsealed floor openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow, contributes to IT equipment hot spots, cooling unit inefficiencies, and increasing infrastructure costs. KoldLok products specifically address bypass airflow and its detrimental effects on data center cooling.
Split Integral Grommet
Designed to seal openings in new or existing raised floor cutouts used for communications or power cabling. Based on measurements at multiple data centers, on average 48% of valuable conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due to unsealed floor openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow, contributes to IT equipment hot spots, cooling unit inefficiencies, and increasing infrastructure costs. KoldLok® products specifically address bypass airflow and its detrimental effects on data center cooling.
Surface Mount Original Grommet
Designed to seal a variety of existing raised floor tile cutouts and allow flexibility of removing tiles without capturing cables. Part numbers 2030 and 2040 allow for larger sealing capacities. Based on measurements at multiple data centers, on average 48% of valuable conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due to unsealed floor openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow, contributes to IT equipment hotspots, cooling unit inefficiencies, and increasing infrastructure costs. KoldLok products specifically address bypass airflow and its detrimental effects on data center cooling.
4" & 6" Round Grommet
Designed to seal openings in new and existing raised floor cutouts to block bypass airflow and maximize cooling system efficiency. The Round Grommet features Hybrid Brush Technology (HBT), making it the premium choice for your facility. This revolutionary sealing technology greatly reduces costly bypass airflow, increasing usable cooling unit capacity, and ensuring maximized efficiency from HVAC equipment.
Extended Brush Grommet
Designed to seal a wide variety of existing and new openings. Simple modification creates the flexibility to seal large and unique openings such as those found under PDUs. Based on measurements at multiple data centers, on average 48% of valuable conditioned air is not reaching the air intake of IT equipment due to unsealed floor openings. This lost air, known as bypass airflow, contributes to IT equipment hotspots, cooling unit inefficiencies, and increasing infrastructure costs. KoldLok products specifically address bypass airflow and its detrimental effects on data center cooling. Available sizes include: 24" & 60" wide x 3" & 6" deep.
HotLok rack airflow management products are designed to optimize airflow through server racks by preventing exhaust air recirculation and blocking bypass airflow. Our award-winning blanking panels are the ‘best sealing’ in the industry.
1U Blanking Panel
Designed to effectively seal openings in IT equipment cabinets and control airflow for optimized cooling effectiveness. The HotLok Blanking Panel reduces hotspots and bypass airflow by preventing equipment exhaust air or hot aisle air from migrating to the conditioned air intake stream at the front of the cabinet.
Available in Black and White
2U Blanking Panels
Designed to effectively seal openings in IT equipment cabinets and control airflow for optimized cooling effectiveness. The HotLok Blanking Panel reduces hotspots and bypass airflow by preventing equipment exhaust air or hot aisle air from migrating to the conditioned air intake stream at the front of the cabinet. The white blanking panels are available to coordinate with white racks and enclosures for improved aesthetics. In addition, they are engineered to offer light reflectance properties for energy savings by increasing the reflectivity in the server cabinet and reducing the amount of lighting required. At normal data center lighting levels, the white blanking panel offers 3.5 times the reflectance of a standard black blanking panel. This means more brilliancy in the data center and better illumination of surrounding surfaces and computer cabinets.
1U & 2U Blanking Panel with Temperature Strip
Designed to effectively seal openings in IT equipment cabinets and control airflow for optimized cooling effectiveness. The HotLok Blanking Panel reduces hotspots and bypass airflow by preventing equipment exhaust air or hot aisle air from migrating to the conditioned air intake stream at the front of the cabinet. The attached temperature strip provides accurate cabinet temperatures in color-coded ranges.
1U & 2U Pass Through Blanking Panels
Full Rack Blanking Panel Kit
Designed to seal 42U-50U of opening in a server rack, the Full Rack Blanking Panel Kit greatly reduces bypass airflow and exhaust air recirculation by eliminating gaps and creating a contained server rack environment. This sealing solution increases usable cooling unit capacity, maximizing the effectiveness and efficiency of your cooling infrastructure.
Side Rail Sealing Kit, ~50U
The Side Rail Sealing Kit is designed to seal gaps between the mounting rails and sides of cabinets. This greatly reduces bypass airflow and exhaust air recirculation through IT equipment cabinets to increase cooling unit utilization and maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the cooling infrastructure.
Available sizes:
45 Degree Extrusion, 2.5" & 4" Sealing Membrane
90 Degree Extrusion, 4" & 5.5" Sealing Membrane
