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.

Fire Stopping
Fire stopping is an important part of providing structural fire protection and fire safety within a facility. Fire stopping is vital to contain or slow the spread of fires by utilising fire-resistant walls, floor and doors, all of which need to comply with the associated regulations.
Due to the need in Data Centres and Enterprise IT environments to penetrate fire-rated walls and floors to distribute services and connectivity, it is vital that these openings are sealed to reduce the risk of fires or smoke from spreading.
EDP Data Centre Solutions provides a range of fire stopping services that are conducted by Critical Facilities Solutions, part of the EDP Group. These services include: inspecting, reporting and signing off fire stopping, installation of fire-retardant cable transits, linear gap seals, fire batts and collars and pipe wraps.

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.
