- Computers and related equipment utilized in offices, business, industry, government telecommunications, the internet, data storage facilities, and the like quite commonly are located in great numbers in dedicated buildings or dedicated areas of buildings, in which the equipment is arranged in relatively high density configuration, in racks, for example, for convenient supervision and maintenance.
- a common practice in connection with such high density data centers is to provide a raised floor structure made up of individual floor tiles supported on a suitable skeletal framework, providing a convenient plenum space underneath for the passage of cooling air and the necessary data and power cables.
- Suitable cable cut-outs or openings are provided in the floor tiles to accommodate the passage of the power and data cables from the space underneath the floor upward for connection to the computer units within the room above.
- large numbers of such cable openings are provided. For example, there may well be as many as sixty cable openings (of a typical size of about 4′′ ⁇ 8′′) per thousand square feet of floor space.
- the necessary air conditioning is provided by discharging cool air into the cable space provided below the elevated floor structure.
- Selected perforated floor tiles, provided with a desired pattern of openings, are appropriately positioned in relation to the operating units, sometimes directly beneath, and sometimes alongside, arranged to discharge cooled air upwardly, where the air may be drawn into the operating units by their internal fans.
- the air conditioning of the operating units is complicated significantly by the presence of large numbers of cable openings throughout the floor space. Large quantities of the cool air escape through these large openings into the general ambient of the room, where the cool air cannot be efficiently utilized.
- the escape of conditioned air through the cable openings can be such as to reduce the static pressure in the cable space underneath the floor from a desired 0.10′′ of water, for example, to as little as 0.01′′. While this “lost” cooling air does enter the ambient space of the data center, it is not effectively and efficiently available to be drawn into the operating units, and often simply mixes with hot air being discharged from the operating units by their internal cooling fans. The loss of efficiency can be as great as the equivalent of a 20 ton cooling unit for each thousand square feet of computer room floor space.
- controlled air conditioning of modern office space is sometimes accomplished by providing the conditioned air via an under floor plenum associated with a swirled diffuser supply system, with selectively located under floor diffusers and floor grates to provide for controlled upward discharge of the conditioned air into the office space.
- Such arrangements often seek to increase efficiency by providing for a swirling action of the discharged air, a technique that tends to provide for equivalent comfort levels while maintaining the ambient temperature at least slightly higher than otherwise, to achieve greater air conditioning efficiencies.
- uncontrolled leakage of conditioned air through cable openings and the like provided in the flooring can reduce the operating efficiencies of the system, and a need is indicated for efficient means for sealing such openings.
- the present invention relates to a novel and improved form of floor grommet for use in large, high density data centers, under floor office air conditioning and the like, which substantially seals off the cable openings around the power and data cables or other elements passing therethrough. There is thus a minimal loss of cooling air through the multiple cable openings and a maximized flow of such air is directed through the intended discharge openings, e.g., adjacent to and/or underneath the operating units, or through special outlets to provide a desired swirling action.
- a standard cable opening of 4′′ ⁇ 8′′ or 5′′ ⁇ 8′′ dimensions is “sealed” by a plurality of thin filamentary elements extending from opposite sides of a grommet frame and meeting in the central area of the grommet opening.
- filamentary elements are such that power and data cables may be easily threaded through the grommet opening by displacement of the elements, which then largely close around the cables to minimize any opening for the escape of conditioned air.
- the filamentary elements may be provided by brush-like bristle assemblies, formed of relatively fine bristles of materials such as nylon, polypropylene or natural horsehair.
- a plurality of layers of the bristle assemblies of different lengths and configurations are provided within a grommet frame.
- a first layer of opposed bristles extends from one side of the grommet frame, meeting in the center of the grommet opening.
- a second layer of bristles is disposed directly below the first, and advantageously consists of bristles of a somewhat shorter length which do not extend completely to the center of the grommet opening.
- the two levels of bristles are disposed so that the shorter bristles and the longer bristles are in contact in their outer areas.

- FIG. 10 is a fragmentary cross-sectional view illustrating a marginal edge portion of the retrofit unit of FIG. 7 installed in a floor tile unit.
- the reference numeral 20 designates generally a typical floor tile utilized in raised floor installations.
- the individual floor tiles 20 are formed with supporting structure 21 on their undersurfaces.
- the individual floor tiles may be supported by a grid structure engaging undersurfaces of the tiles at their edges, typically with supporting posts (not shown) supporting the grid structure at an elevated level from the base floor (not shown) of the enclosing structure.
- the particular type and style of raised floor structure does not form a part of this invention, and the description of such raised floor structures is simply to illustrate the environment in which the floor grommet system of the invention is employed.
- the floor tiles 20 may be approximately 2 feet square, and the entire elevated floor is made up of these tiles arranged edge to edge.
- Floor tiles and supporting structure have adequate strength to support all the necessary computer or office equipment, personnel, etc., typically involved in high density data centers, office buildings, and the like.
- the floor tile 20 is shown with a center cable opening 22 to enable power and data cables to be passed from the space below the elevated flooring upward for connection to the various units of computer or other equipment installed in the office or data center.
- a center cable opening 22 to enable power and data cables to be passed from the space below the elevated flooring upward for connection to the various units of computer or other equipment installed in the office or data center.
- these openings are simply lined with a hole dressing material, to protect the cables from sharp metal edges, the holes otherwise being left open except perhaps for makeshift attempts to reduce airflow losses therethrough.
- the cable openings 22 are nominally closed by means of floor grommet assemblies 23 , which are designed to be received in the cable openings and hence serve both to dress the opening and protect the cables from sharp edges, and also to effectively seal the openings against significant airflow.
- the floor grommet units of the invention allow power and data cables to be easily passed through the floor openings and through the grommets, accommodating easy routing and re-routing of such cables as is frequently necessary in an active office data center.
- the floor grommet 23 of the invention comprises a surrounding frame 24 , preferably formed of a structural plastic material, such as polypropylene, compounded to have anti-static characteristics as well as fire-retardant characteristics.
- the frame 24 has a cross-sectional configuration as reflected in FIG. 5 , with a horizontal flange portion 25 defining a rectangular central opening 26 , typically of 8′′ ⁇ 5′′ dimensions.
- Peripheral flanges 27 project downward from the horizontal flange 25 and are of a suitable size and shape to cover the raw edges of the floor tiles 20 .
- FIG. 5 In the specific illustration of FIG. 5 , a special depending flange 28 is provided along one side, for purposes that will be described hereafter. In all other respects the features shown in FIG. 5 relate to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1-4 .
- the horizontal flange 25 is formed with an offset to define a rectangular recess 29 adapted to receive a cover plate 30 , partially shown in FIG. 5 .
- the cover plate 30 may be employed to completely close the opening 26 when no cables are extending therethrough, so that no air at all escapes through the opening, and the opening may be walked upon as if it were a normal part of the floor tile surface.
- channel extrusions 31 are installed along each of the longer sides of the vertical flanges 27 .
- the channel forming extrusions are mounted along the inside walls of the vertical flanges 27 .
- Upwardly extending locating ribs 33 are provided along upper edges of the channel forming extrusions and are received in recesses 34 formed in the frame 24 .
- the channel forming extrusions are locked in place by means of screws 35 ( FIG. 4 ) which extend through openings 36 in the side flanges 27 to secure the channel forming extrusions tightly against the insides of the flanges.
- the multi-channel extrusions of the preferred embodiment consist of three inwardly facing channels 37 - 39 which extend lengthwise of the extrusions.
- the upper channels 3 - 38 are arranged to tightly receive upper and lower bristle assemblies 40 - 41 .
- the bristle assemblies 40 - 41 are comprised of backbone structures 42 - 43 which mount, and from which extend, a mass of fine, flexible filaments or bristles 44 - 45 .
- the bristles may be formed of nylon or polyethylene filaments, for example, having a thickness of 10-20 mils and compounded or treated to have anti-static and flame-retardant characteristics.
- the individual bristles are closely packed to a thickness of around one-fourth inch.
- the upper bristle assemblies 40 are disposed generally horizontally and incorporate bristles of a length to extend to, and preferably just slightly beyond the center line of the grommet opening 26 .
- the arrangement is such that the upper bristle assemblies, in an undisturbed state, substantially close the grommet opening 26 , forming a highly effective barrier against the flow of conditioned air under a pressure of, for example, 0.10′′ of water.
- the lower bristle assemblies 41 preferably are comprised of bristles 45 of a length shorter than the bristles 44 of the upper assemblies 40 .
- the lower bristles thus terminate a short distance, for example, 5 ⁇ 8′′ or so, from the center line of the grommet opening.
- upper and lower bristle assemblies are convergently disposed, preferably by mounting the lower assemblies 41 with an upward incline, such that the ends of the lower bristles 45 make contact with outer portions of the upper bristles 44 .
- bristles 44 of the upper bristle assemblies are displaced laterally to accommodate the presence of the cable in the opening.
- the individual bristles being mounted in cantilever fashion by the backbone structures 42 - 43 , bend laterally at their outer ends and close together a short distance away from the cable.
- the displacement of the bristles necessarily leaves a small V-shaped opening between the body of the cable and the point where the bristles merge together.
- these small V-shaped openings are greatly minimized by the presence of the lower bristle assemblies 41 will have been displaced to a lesser extent, and in many cases not at all.
- a cable 46 of modest diameter can be passed through the grommet by laterally displacing the ends of the upper bristles 44 , without displacing the bristles 45 of the lower assemblies.
- the lower bristles 45 thus tend to partially close off and thus minimize any small openings adjacent to cable 46 resulting from lateral displacement of the upper bristles 44 .
- the displacement of the lower bristles is significantly less than that of the upper bristles, so that the two sets of bristle assemblies, working in combination with each other, greatly minimize any openings for the passage of conditioned air.
- the bristle assemblies may be provided in more than two layers if desired. Likewise, it may be feasible to construct a single composite bristle structure employing tiers of bristles of different lengths. Likewise it may be possible to form at least some of the tiers with materials other than bristles or filaments, for example, panels of material slit to form narrow strips, panels of soft foam material, etc.
- the downwardly projecting rib 28 will be omitted.
- the floor tile may be formed with an open sided cut-out, as indicated by broken line 50 in FIG. 1 .
- the grommet frame will then be installed in a manner to position the projecting rib 28 at the open side of the cut-out 50 , to rest upon a support element 51 under the edge of the floor tile.
- a modified form of the new floor grommet structure, shown in FIGS. 7-10 is designed for easy retrofit installation in an existing floor.
- a frame 60 comprised of two parts 61 - 62 , is arranged with flange portions 63 - 64 secured to mounting panels 65 - 66 .
- the frame parts 61 - 62 include upwardly extending flange portions 67 - 68 and inwardly projecting flange portions 69 - 70 .
- the inwardly extending flanges 69 - 70 define the grommet opening.
- Each of the frame sections 61 - 62 mounts a pair of upper and lower bristle sets, of which only the upper sets 71 - 72 are visible in the drawings. It will be understood, however, that the arrangement of the bristle sets in the device of FIGS. 7-10 is similar to that shown in FIG. 5 .
- a preferred method for installing the retrofit unit of FIGS. 7-10 is by means of adhesive applied to the undersurfaces of the mounting panels 65 - 66 .
- Each of the adhesively coated panels is provided with a release paper 73 - 74 , which may be pulled away to expose the adhesive.
- the unit 62 will be positioned over a floor tile opening, and the release paper 74 then pulled out from under it, to allow the adhesive to contact the surface of the floor tile.
- the second section 61 is then positioned immediately adjacent to the section 62 , and the release paper 73 is pulled out from under it, to expose the adhesive of the second component to the floor tile.
- mechanical locking tabs 75 are inserted in recesses 76 - 77 provided in each of the frames 61 - 62 , so that the two sections are mechanically locked together as well as being secured by adhesive means.
- a pre-cut cable opening in the floor tile will have been lined by a plastic floor dressing 80 , shown in FIG. 10 .
- this will include a flange 81 supported on the top surface of the floor tile 82 .
- the edge margins of the mounting plates 65 - 66 advantageously are provided with a layer 83 of foam material, with the adhesive being applied to the downwardly facing surface of such material.
- the retrofit unit of FIGS. 7-10 can be installed in an existing cable opening having previously installed cables passing through. It is not necessary to interrupt service by unplugging the cables because the retrofit grommet device can be installed around the existing cables.
- the retrofit unit of FIGS. 7-10 can also be employed to advantage for sealing of an opening which is located immediately adjacent a side wall of the room.
- only one half of the two-part unit is employed, that is either one of the panels 65 , 66 .
- the panel is installed tightly against the side wall, with the free ends of the bristles engaging the side wall, allowing the cable to pass through the opening closely adjacent to the side wall.
- the floor grommet with centering guide means, positioned in the lower portions of the grommet, to urge cables passing through the grommet toward the center of the grommet opening such that the cables pass more or less symmetrically between the opposed sets of flexible elements.
- An advantageous form of such guide means may be resilient plastic or rubber vanes 90 , shown in broken lines in FIG. 5 .
- the vanes 90 can be anchored in the lowermost channels 39 of the multi-channel extrusion, extending therefrom to the center of the grommet opening and advantageously substantially meeting edge to edge along the longitudinal center line of the grommet opening.
- the vanes 90 have sufficient stiffness to urge cables toward a centered position between them.
- vanes 90 normally will not close effectively around the cables and thus by themselves do not form an effective cable seal. However, that function is taken care of by the bristle assemblies 40 - 41 as previously described. When no cable is present in the grommet opening, however, the resilient vanes 90 can close tightly at the center and form a complete seal of the grommet opening.
- the new floor grommet arrangement provides very important economic and other advantages in the operation of high density data centers and of office buildings in which conditioned air is provided by an under floor plenum arrangement.
- One such advantage is the significant reduction of required air conditioning capacity to service an area of given heat load.
- the new system With the new system, the uncontrolled loss of conditioned air through floor openings is reduced to a small fraction of normal experience, which translates directly into decreased capital requirements for air conditioning equipment, as well as to significant reductions in operating cost required to deliver the conditioned air.
- the system of the invention also provides greater assurance that the cooling air provided will be directed to the areas where it is needed and discharged in the manner intended. For data centers, this assures that system outages from localized overheating problems are greatly minimized or eliminated. Among other things, this makes it possible to increase the density of computer equipment installed in a given space. For office buildings using under floor delivery of conditioned air, it becomes practical to operate at a higher overall ambient with equivalent comfort because a higher proportion of the conditioned air is delivered with a swirling effect in the manner intended by the HVAC engineers.
