PLENAFORM® is a flexible, snap together, air flow baffle system which helps to solve dynamic thermal imbalances in data centers.
PLENAFORM® baffles are scored both vertically and horizontally so sections can be removed or added onto to meet any height or width requirement. All angles of bend radius may be attained, including inside and outside mounting to raised floor pedestals.
Continuous punch out hole pattern allows attachment to any style raised floor pedestal at any height or width location with cable ties.
PLENAFORM® baffles are die cut from a flame retardant polypropylene compound that is inert, non-conductive, and non-hygroscopic with a UL-94 V-0 rating.
Easy to Install - Right Out of the Box!
- Control and Balance Data Center Airflow
- Separate Hot Aisles from Cold Aisles
- No Installation Tools Required
- On-Site Configurable (Width and Height)
- Fits ANY Raised Floor Pedestal
- Reduces Energy Consumption and Operating Costs
- An Inert, Non-Conductive and Non-Hygroscopic Material
- Flammability rating of V-0 per UL-94
- RoHS and WEEE Compliant
- An Energy Saving and Thermal Tuning Tool
PLENAFORM®Baffle System has many other uses:
-
Seal off below tape auto loaders to stop tape reader condensation.
-
Seal off under PDU's.
-
Stop air loss under server racks.
-
Create dedicated return air paths above ceilings.
-
Create CRAC extension intake heads.
-
Install inside servers racks to stop lateral heat transfer
