Computer server farms illustrate how thermoformed ceiling products can solve a complex set of requirements. Cool air is typically fed into server racks to keep equipment within an optimal operating temperature range. Instead of releasing heated air into the surrounding room, aisles between racks are enclosed to act as plenums for exhaust air. By using translucent, drop-out panels as above-aisle ceilings, light fixtures and fire sprinklers can be located above server banks where they will not interfere with access to servers.
