“Active Floor” is a flexible system designed for cooling
high density thermal loads resulting from the use of
modern Blade Servers and Tera Routers.
Integrated within a modular raised floor in front of the
intake of the server rack, the Uniflair Active Floor
fits exactly into a standard modular raised floor
featuring 600mm x 600mm panels.
The cold air distributed by the Close Control perimeter
units is directly channelled to the source of the
thermal load thanks to the sophisticated adjustment of
the direction of the air flow. The Active Floor creates a
high density bubble of air which is maintained at a
constant temperature along the whole intake section of
the rack (from the lowest to the highest point),
guaranteeing operation at the nominal conditions
required by the rack manufacturer. The air flow varies
according to the thermal load detected by the two
sensors positioned in the discharge section of the blade
server or in the suction side (top).
The Active Floor minimises energy absorption thanks to
the use of an innovative fan with an electrical
commutable motor.
The Active Floor may be used both in stand alone
applications to slave high density servers in
traditional data centres, as well as with Close Control
perimeter units together with an innovative automatic
floor pressurisation system which has been fully tested
by Uniflair. It may also be inserted in the Active Floor
System for optimum control of the operating conditions
in the server rooms.
Uniflair’s extensive testing of the Active Floor
guarantees optimum operation of the equipment at high
density for loads installed in each module up to 15 kW.
Combined with the Cool Pool solution, this ensures
control of thermal loads up to and beyond 25 kW/rack.
