Our Engineers visited the data centre of a university in Hong Kong and replace one of the perforated tiles with a Chamfer ICE Airflow panel. We saw a almost 6-fold increase in airflow volume!
Prior to installing the panel, we measured the airflow using an anemometer.
The anemometer was set with a sampling area of 3.875 sq feet and the measurement was made about 3 inches off the floor.
The reading was 840 CFM on the regular perforated tile.
After replacing the perforated tile with a Chamfer ICE airflow panel, we took another measurement, and the reading on the anemometer was 1850 CFM.
The Chamfer ICE Airflow panel is at 56%, therefore the volumetric airflow is:
0.56 * 1850 = 1,202.5 CFM
With the regular perforated tiles the estimated perforation is 25%. The volumetric airflow is estimated to be:
0.25 * 840 = 210 CFM
That is almost a 6-fold increase in airflow volume!
Although the measurement taken using the anomometer may not be 100% accurate in absolute terms, the relative difference between the value is indicative of the power of Triad's Chmfer ICE Airflow panel.
