1.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Liebert XDA Air Flow Enhancer increases the airflow through
densely populated enclosures, breaking up hot spots within the enclosure that can threaten the uptime of your critical systems. Equipment
fans often produce insufficient flow to push air through the masses of
data communication wiring at the rear of the enclosure. With an XDA
placed on the exhaust side of the enclosure (the five high-static fans
ensure positive air flow), the heat is moved out of the enclosure and
into the room where it can be removed by the room air conditioning
system.
The Liebert XDA is also available as a factory-installed option on Liebert Foundation™ cabinets.
