Comparing Performance Metrics of Partial Aisle Containments in Hard Floor and Raised Floor Data Centers Using CFD
In airflow assessment do not rely on RCI alone; RCI of 100% coexisted with RTI of 40-50%, showing oversupply and bypass. Report RTI and per-rack Capture Index together.
- With supply cut by 50%, RTI rose above 80%, and recirculation appeared in all containment variants while RCI still looked acceptable.
