Description

The APC Rack Air Removal Unit SX Ducting Kit 24 Inch is engineered to optimize cooling performance for data centers, server rooms, and network closets that rely on APC’s SX air removal solutions. This ducting kit is designed to seamlessly integrate with the APC Rack Air Removal Unit SX, providing a dedicated, efficient pathway for hot air to exit the rack enclosure. By directing exhaust away from IT equipment, it helps maintain stable inlet temperatures, reduce hot spots, and support the overall reliability of your critical infrastructure. Built to endure the rigors of busy data center environments, the 24 inch ducting kit combines rugged construction with practical design features that simplify installation and future reconfigurations. Whether you’re upgrading an existing rack or outfitting a new deployment, this kit helps maximize cooling efficiency, lower energy consumption, and extend equipment life by maintaining a consistent, predictable airflow pattern across racks.

  • Optimized airflow management for APC SX systems: The 24 inch ducting kit creates a streamlined exhaust path that reduces turbulence and backpressure, promoting consistent, negative pressure behind equipment. This results in fewer recirculated hot air plumes and more effective heat removal from densely packed servers, switches, and storage devices. By maintaining a clear, dedicated outlet for warm air, your cooling system can work more efficiently, potentially lowering overall data center energy usage while preserving performance and uptime.
  • Durable construction for demanding environments: Crafted with high-quality materials and precision-fit components, the ducting kit stands up to frequent maintenance cycles and real-world data center conditions. The robust build minimizes wear over time, while smooth interior surfaces reduce air resistance and turbulence, supporting steady airflow throughout the rack. Its design also resists corrosion and physical damage, ensuring reliable operation in hot aisle and cold aisle configurations alike.
  • Ease of installation and compatibility: The kit is engineered to install quickly with standard 19-inch racks and APC SX series air removal units. Its straightforward mounting interface, secure clamps, and clean interior channels mean technicians can complete deployments with minimal tools and effort. The 24 inch length is chosen to fit a wide range of common rack depths, allowing flexible placement relative to the exhaust port while maintaining clean cable and conduit management behind the equipment.
  • Enhanced safety and maintenance advantages: By directing exhaust air away from IT gear, the ducting kit reduces the risk of hot air recirculation that can compromise component lifespans. The design emphasizes smooth airflow and reduced turbulence, which translates into quieter operation and less mechanical strain on cooling fans. Routine inspection becomes simpler with clearly defined duct paths and secure attachment points that stay aligned even after frequent rack reconfigurations.
  • Value for uptime and efficiency: The 24 inch ducting kit complements APC’s cooling ecosystem by supporting more predictable thermal profiles across racks. Consistent temperatures help prevent throttling and thermal cutoffs, enabling servers to perform at their best. In turn, data centers may experience longer hardware life, improved reliability, and better overall return on investment for your cooling infrastructure.

How to install APC Rack Air Removal Unit SX Ducting Kit 24 Inch

Installing the APC Rack Air Removal Unit SX Ducting Kit 24 Inch is straightforward and designed to minimize downtime. Follow these general steps to ensure a proper fit and optimal airflow:

  • Prepare the rack and equipment: Power down the APC SX air removal unit and any devices in the rack as a precaution. Inspect the rack area for clearance around the exhaust port and ensure there is an unobstructed path for the ducting to vent.
  • Check compatibility: Confirm that you are pairing the 24 inch ducting kit with an APC Rack Air Removal Unit SX and a standard 19-inch rack. Verify any specific mounting points on your enclosure and gather the included clamps or hardware.
  • Position the ducting kit: Align the ducting kit with the exhaust outlet of the SX unit. Ensure that the ducting runs straight away from the equipment to minimize bends that could restrict airflow.
  • Attach securely: Use the provided clamps or mounting hardware to secure the ducting kit to the exhaust port and rack frame. Tighten fittings evenly to avoid gaps where air could escape or cause turbulence.
  • Route and seal the path: Direct the ducting toward the building exhaust or an appropriate ventilation channel. If needed, secure the ducting along the rack to prevent movement during maintenance or rearrangement. Check for any sharp bends or kinks that could impede airflow and adjust as necessary.
  • Test airflow and safety: Restore power to the SX unit and monitor airflow through the ducting path. Confirm that warm air is exiting efficiently and that there are no unusual noises, leaks, or obstructions. If discoloration, heat, or odor is detected, pause operation and recheck the routing and attachments.
  • Perform routine maintenance: Periodically inspect clamps, seals, and interior surfaces for wear or debris. Clean any buildup and ensure the ducting remains aligned with the exhaust port for continued optimal performance.
