The document discusses airflow management in data centers to improve cooling efficiency. It explains that preventing hot and cold air from mixing can decrease server inlet temperatures and increase return air temperatures to the CRAC units. This leads to a higher delta T and return on investment. The document recommends determining the best airflow strategy tools like panels, blanks, and baffles for each unique environment and provides contact information to learn more from 42U solutions engineers.

3. The Purpose of Cooling Efficiency
WHAT?
 The mixing of cold air and hot air
should be prevented.
WHY?
 Improvements to airflow dynamics are
relatively quick and simple.
 Decrease required server inlet
temperatures.
 Increase CRAC (computer room air
conditioner) return air temperatures.
 Lead to a higher ΔT (ROI).
