Metal Comparison
Metal ducts create problems with:
- Unusable Rack Space
- Temperature Variations
- Irregular Velocities
Fabric systems are custom engineered for the airflow challenges of today’s data centers.
DuctSox provide targeted, consistent airflow and velocity in cold aisles with adjustability that allows for higher heat load targeting.
-
Optimized Air Dispersion
- 100% Customizable: DuctSox are designed to fit the specific need of each space allowing for data centers to get the exact airflow where it is needed.
- Specially Designed Fabric: A unique combination of anti-static and porous materials help prevent any static charge that could build up while dispersing large volumes of air at low velocities.
- Adjustable Nozzles: With 360 degree rotation, each nozzle provides targeted, consistent velocities along the entire length of the cold aisles to allow for maximum efficiency of equipment in the aisles.
-
Cost-Effective
Each DuctSox system is tailor-made to accommodate different facility layouts and is a cost-effective solution in comparison to metal.
- Lower Material Costs: The cost of a DuctSox System is 20% to 80% less than metal. The cost savings of non-condensating air porous DuctSox are even more when compared to insulated metal duct or premium materials such as stainless steel or aluminum.
- Reduced Labor Costs: Ductsox can be installed with less manpower and labor hours versus a comparable metal system. In many instances they can be installed after the lighting, sprinkler and equipment are installed reducing congestion between multiple trades, material damage, and valuable floor space.
