Improve airflow and cooling efficiency in your data center with Airius Fans. Our air circulation systems help manage heat buildup, support more consistent temperatures, and complement existing cooling infrastructure while reducing unnecessary HVAC demand. Ideal for high-density, energy-intensive data center environments.
Smarter Airflow Management with Destratification Fans for Data Centers
Data centers generate enormous amounts of heat around the clock. As rack densities increase, maintaining predictable airflow and removing heat efficiently becomes increasingly important for equipment reliability, cooling performance, and operating costs.
Airius destratification fans offer data center operators another tool for managing air movement within large, air-cooled and hybrid facilities.
The Challenge
Data center cooling depends on getting conditioned air where it is needed while efficiently returning heated exhaust air to the cooling system. Even with hot aisle/cold aisle configurations and containment systems, large facilities can experience airflow challenges including ceiling-level heat accumulation, localized hot spots, stagnant areas, uneven temperature conditions, and inefficient return-air movement.
When airflow is poorly controlled, cooling equipment may have to work harder to maintain acceptable rack inlet temperatures.
The Airius Solution
Airius fans can provide strategically controlled air movement to complement existing data center cooling infrastructure. Rather than simply increasing airflow throughout the room, Airius fans can be positioned and controlled to help address areas of heat accumulation and support the facility’s intended return-air strategy without compromising hot aisle/cold aisle separation.
For data center applications, two Airius systems are particularly well suited.
Onyx EC Series
Designed specifically for powerful air circulation and cooling applications, the Onyx EC Series is well suited to larger data halls and areas with significant heat loads. With coverage up to 2,000 sq. ft. per unit, variable-speed EC motors, and BACnet or 0–10V integration, airflow can be adjusted as operating conditions change.
Air Pear EC Series
For facilities requiring greater flexibility, the Air Pear EC Series offers multiple models for different ceiling heights and coverage requirements. Its focused columnar airflow, low-energy EC motors, and integration with building management systems allow airflow to be strategically introduced where it can support the existing cooling and return-air design.
In either application, fan placement and speed would be determined according to rack layout, containment strategy, ceiling height, cooling configuration, and return-air locations. The objective is not to mix the entire data hall, but to improve airflow where it can enhance cooling-system performance.
Potential Results
A properly engineered Airius installation could help reduce ceiling-level heat accumulation, improve circulation within problem areas, support more effective return-air movement, reduce localized temperature variations, and complement existing CRAC or CRAH cooling systems.
By improving how air moves through appropriate areas of the facility, Airius fans may also create opportunities to optimize HVAC operation without immediately adding additional cooling capacity.
Improve Your Data Center
No two data centers have the same rack density, ceiling height, cooling architecture, or airflow requirements. Airius can work with facility teams to evaluate airflow conditions and determine whether strategically placed destratification fans can complement the existing cooling infrastructure without interfering with established hot aisle/cold aisle containment.
The objective isn’t simply to move more air. It’s to move air where it needs to go.
