The amount of air loss can be reduced by 99.9% if the line or cable openings in false floors are closed off using Hanno® Clima-Tect®, instead of leaving them open. False floors in data centres are normally used for the cabling of network cabinets. The problem here is that a larger part of the cold air which is required for the cooling of the server escapes through the cable openings, reducing the static pressure in the false floor.

The IT market research company Gartner Inc. estimates that between 35% and 50% of the electrical energy is used for cooling. It is even possible to reduce the KWh consumption by between six and seven-figures, not forgetting the related energy costs in small data centres by adopting an optimised process. Gartner has devised "11 Best Practices" in this regard which can clearly reduce the energy consumption and makes the following recommendation: an important and fast measure is to close the openings in false floors. The closing off of these opening can save up to 10% of
the total energy which is required for cooling purposes.

With the new Clima-Tect, HANNO is able to provide the ideal solution to this problem. Fast, efficient, inexpensive and easy to subsequently install during ongoing operations, the panels normally pay for themselves after around one month. These do not increase the fire load in data centres as is the case with brush systems or cable bags!
