Thermal Management Solutions

Thermal Management Solutions for CPI Cabinet Systems

As data center equipment densities continue to increase, so does the thermal management challenge for operations and facilities managers. Airflow distribution within the data center has a significant impact on the thermal environment. CPI offers both active and passive cooling solutions to manage airflow within your enclosure. For maximum cooling, flexibility and future growth, you may want to consider the TeraFrame Family of Cabinets, which uses CPI Passive Cooling Solutions. 

CPI Passive Cooling™ Solutions, which include many of the products below, is your green choice for delivering eco-friendly data center solutions.

See how Passive Cooling can increase your cooling capacities for less expense by entering your specific data center data into the CPI PUE Calculator.

   CPI Passive Cooling is the Green Choice for Data Centers
