Description

VERTIV VR Rack Vertical Exhaust Duct

The Vertiv VR Rack Vertical Exhaust Duct is a purpose-built solution designed to optimize airflow management in data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets. By directing hot air from the bottom of the rack upward, this exhaust duct helps to efficiently return heat to your room cooling system, supporting cooler intake conditions for critical IT equipment and reducing the burden on your cooling infrastructure. Built to integrate seamlessly with Vertiv’s VR rack ecosystem, the Vertical Exhaust Duct empowers you to manage hot air with precision, maintain stable temperatures, and extend the life of your valuable hardware. Whether you’re deploying a high-density compute environment or upgrading an aging cooling strategy, this duct is a flexible, durable component that aligns with modern data center best practices for environmental control and energy efficiency.

  • Optimized hot-air removal – Directs rising hot air from the bottom of the rack to the top, promoting effective hot-aisle containment and preventing heat from recirculating into intakes.
  • Zero U installation compatibility – Designed to pair with the Networking Roof Panel for a zero U configuration, maximizing rack space while preserving cooling efficiency.
  • Seamless rack ecosystem integration – Built to work with Vertiv VR racks, enabling a cohesive cooling pathway that complements other Vertiv cooling and cable-management components.
  • Durable, data-center ready construction – Engineered for demanding environments, with materials and design intended to withstand frequent adjustments, cleaning, and long-term operation in hot, humid, or dusty spaces.
  • Energy-conscious airflow management – By improving heat removal and returning cooler air to the room cooling system, it can contribute to lower overall cooling power usage and improved energy efficiency.

how to install VERTIV VR Rack Vertical Exhaust Duct

Installing the Vertiv VR Rack Vertical Exhaust Duct is a straightforward process that should be performed with proper planning to maximize cooling efficiency and minimize downtime. Before you begin, verify that you have the correct Vertiv VR rack components, including the Networking Roof Panel for zero U installation, and ensure power to the area is safely de-energized during any mounting work. The following steps outline a typical installation scenario for a standard VR rack environment:

  • Prepare the rack area: Confirm the rack is securely mounted, the roof opening is clean, and the Networking Roof Panel is available for zero U integration. Check that all clearance and ventilation requirements align with your data center’s cooling plan.
  • Position the exhaust duct: Align the vertical exhaust duct with the rack’s rear or designated exhaust interface, ensuring a snug, secure fit that allows for unobstructed airflow from bottom to top.
  • Attach to the rack: Fasten the duct to the rack frame using the provided hardware, ensuring that mounting points are tight but not over-torqued to avoid warping. Confirm that any gaskets or seals are seated properly to prevent air leakage.
  • Integrate with the Networking Roof Panel: Install the Networking Roof Panel to enable zero U configuration where applicable. This step creates a continuous exhaust path from the rack into the room’s cooling loop while preserving valuable real estate in the rack itself.
  • Test airflow and seal integrity: Re-energize equipment and measure intake and exhaust temperatures across the rack. Verify there is a clear, unobstructed path for air to rise through the duct and into the cooling return. Address any leaks or uneven airflow promptly.
  • Routine checks: Schedule periodic inspections to ensure seals remain intact, connections are secure, and the path remains free of obstructions caused by dust, cables, or equipment movement.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the primary benefit of a vertical exhaust duct in a VR rack?
    A: It facilitates efficient removal of hot air from the rack, directing it upward toward the room’s cooling system to improve overall thermal performance and prevent hot-air recirculation.
  • Q: Do I need the Networking Roof Panel to use this exhaust duct?
    A: For a zero U installation and optimal integration with the Vertiv VR rack system, pairing the duct with the Networking Roof Panel is recommended as it completes the exhaust pathway without occupying internal rack space.
  • Q: What voltage does the Vertiv VR Rack Vertical Exhaust Duct operate on?
    A: The product is designed for 120 VAC power environments, aligning with common data center electrical standards.
  • Q: Is this exhaust duct compatible with all Vertiv VR rack models?
    A: It is designed to work with Vertiv VR racks as part of a cohesive airflow management solution. Always verify compatibility with your specific rack model and cooling plan before installation.
  • Q: How does this duct contribute to energy efficiency?
    A: By enabling more effective hot-air removal and return, the duct helps maintain cooler intake conditions for IT equipment, reducing the burden on cooling systems and potentially lowering energy usage over time. Regular maintenance ensures continued efficiency.
