Bypass airflow is one of the most underestimated inefficiencies in a data center. Empty U-spaces allow conditioned air to pass straight through the rack without doing any work, while hot exhaust air recirculates to the server intakes.

PlenaFill^® Blanking Panels seal unused rack space, forcing air through the equipment instead of around it.

• Prevents bypass airflow and hot air recirculation
• Optimizes equipment life by reducing overheating
• Improves server inlet temperature consistency
• Increases effective output of existing CRAC/CRAH units
• Flame-retardant construction supports fire-safe data center design
