As data center equipment densities continue to increase, so does the thermal management challenge for operations and facilities managers. Airflow distribution within the data center has a significant impact on the thermal environment. Chatsworth Products offers both active and passive cooling solutions to manage airflow within your enclosure.
These accessories include everything from airflow directors, solid top, bottom and side paneling, snap-in filler panels to seal off unused rack-mount unit space, raised floor grommets, air dam kits, and a variety of fan kits as well as a filtered air ventilation kit for select cabinets. Together, these thermal management accessories help ensure optimal data center cooling, which results in energy savings for your installation.
Block airflow through open rack-mount spaces to help keep hot air at the back of the cabinet. Panels are available for both square-punched or tapped equipment mounting rails. They easily snap in, no tools required!

Air Dam blocks airflow around the sides and top of the equipment mounting space so cold air passes through equipment and hot air does not recirculate around equipment.

Vertical Exhaust Duct attaches to the top of the cabinet to provide a sealed pathway for hot air from the top of the cabinet to an overhead drop ceiling as part of a closed hot air return.
Side Panel With Brush Sealed Cable Openings feature multiple brush sealed cable openings that allow cables to enter the side of the cabinet while containing exhaust air within each cabinet.
Bay Seal Kit is only used with 23.6”W (600 mm) cabinets when the cabinets are bayed to align with 24”W (610 mm) floor tiles. The bay seal kit fills the small gaps left between cabinets.
Raised Floor Grommets prevent airflow from escaping through cable access holes in raised floor environments — significantly increasing cooling effectiveness in the data center. Split design allows for retrofitting over existing cable bundles in access floor tiles. Rectangular grommet features an EPDM membrane between two layers of nylon brushes.
