Airflow Floor Grilles
Providing cold air to cool IT equipment within Data Centres with raised access floors is achieved through the floor grilles within the cold aisle. Not all floor grilles are effective, some result in short cycling or even negative airflow.
EDP Distribution offers the advanced Triad Floor Grille that has a unique design which features Hi-Plume stratification fins that disrupt the underfloor airflow allowing it to flow through a special hole pattern. The result is a positive airflow that “bends” the air outwards enabling to flow into the IT equipment and reach servers at the top of racks.

Structural Ceilings
EDP Data Centre Solutions supplies and installs the structural ceiling from Bergvik − Iso Flex-Grid.
Bergvik Iso Flex-Grid is an engineered, dual purpose structural ceiling system that combines a dropped air ceiling plenum, with a structural support grid. Once installed, a continuous M10 threaded interface along the entire ceiling enables infrastructure to attach directly to the ceiling. This provides greater flexibility allowing countless overhead suspension points in all directions. It provides a cost-effective solution as due to the system’s high load-bearing capacity, there is no need to add additional suspension points.
As standard Iso Flex-Grid is designed for point loads up to 300Kg.

Thermal Audit
An effectively cooled Data Centre with good airflow management can have a huge impact on energy efficiency. To achieve this, airflow needs to be managed at raised floor, rack and row levels. Identifying areas that need improvement can be an issue, so EDP can perform a Thermal Audit on your Data Centre that can provide insights and baseline data to help identify areas requiring attention and the steps that would need to be taken to achieve improved Data Centre cooling optimisation.
Floor Grommets
Floor Grommets are an important step in improving airflow management in raised floor environments within Data Centres and IT environments. Within Data Centres cold air to cool IT equipment should only be supplied via floor grilles in the cold aisle. All other openings in the raised floor should be sealed to prevent air leakage.
EDP Distribution supply the leading solution to resolve this issue − KoldLok Raised Floor Grommets. KoldLok is a range of floor grommets that has been designed to specifically seal cable openings in Data Centre raised floors, featuring either double-layer brushes or brush and membrane they provide an effective seal whilst still allowing easy access for cabling. Sealing openings with KoldLok helps reduce bypass airflow, enables cooling optimisation of cooling units which leads to energy efficiency gains.
