  • Patent number: 12513861
    Abstract: A server holder includes a holder defining a holder volume and having server supports spaced apart in the holder volume to support servers. The holder defines a holder opening to permit fluid communication between the server supports in the holder volume and air flowing outside the holder. At least one baffle is mounted to the holder adjacent to one or more of the server supports. The at least one baffle extends outwardly from the holder. The at least one baffle is shaped and sized to locally restrain the air flowing outside the holder around the one or more server supports.

  • Publication number: 20180334811
    Abstract: The present invention is intended for use in large conditioned air plenum environments and particularly in the plenum environment of multilevel raised floor electro-mechanical distribution systems. The invention comprises the step of providing at least one height change of dedicated conditioned air plenum, which alters the plenum's volume. This makes it possible to maintain the preferred static pressure and velocity for conditioned air throughout the entire plenum even as the amount of air in the plenum decreases as conditioned air discharges into the intended space outside of the plenum.
