Electronics are commonly installed in rooms with raised floors. What issues need to be addressed when installing precision air conditioning in this type of facility?
Raised floors provide a great and flexible alternative for routing cables and piping as well as distributing cooling air. For this type of application a downflow cooling system delivers the cold air to the space under the floor where it is directed to the desired location either through vents or, more commonly, perforated tiles. The space under the floor is, in essence, a supply air plenum. Raised floor heights are commonly in the 12 to 18 inch range. However, they may be as low as 6 inches or as high as 24 inches.
