Data Centers: Managing Critical Airflow
Managing Operational Costs with Airflow Control
Data centers face a number of challenges related to facility environments and operational costs, but by appropriately controlling airflow, facilities can:
• Lower data center power consumption.
• Reduce HVAC equipment maintenance.
• Protect in extreme weather conditions.
United Enertech has a range of products designed to help address challenges:
UE Dampers are low leakage and offer low pressure drop. They are designed to control the airflow into the data center to assist in keeping equipment cool.
UE Extreme Weather Louvers protect the outside opening in a building’s exterior walls. These louvers may be used for exhaust or intake air.

Data Center Energy Efficiency: Best Practices Design Guide
Equipped with knowledge of key metrics and best practices, data center operators can get their data centers operating at best-in-class levels of efficiency.
Efficient airflow management is essential to maintaining optimal temperatures in data centers and preventing server failure. Dampers and sensors help regulate airflow and adjust cooling as usage changes, while air-side economizers reduce mechanical cooling needs by utilizing filtered outside air.
