Bypass airflow and mixing lead to inefficiencies, shorter life cycles for equipment and increased operating cost. Managing airflow to enclosures with varying densities, varying building infrastructure and sporadic hot spots is challenging, but can now be solved using a simple solution.

TAB TE's pressure-based Active Airflow Manager, when combined with best practices, improves performance metrics considerably. Allocating the correct amount of airflow at known intake locations is the key to reducing energy consumption while increasing equipment performance. Best practices such as blanking panels, proper perforated tile placement and the reduction of bypass airflow must be employed to ensure desired results.
