How to set the fans based on temperature

A temperature probe is located in the intake vents of the Rack Air Removal Unit that measures the equipment exhaust air temperature. The unit will increase or decrease the speed of the fans to keep the equipment exhaust at the desired temperature.

The appropriate fan speed is based on the equipment’s inlet air temperature and its temperature differential. The temperature differential is the rise in temperature between the inlet air and the exhaust air after it passes through the equipment. Refer to your equipment manual to determine the temperature differential.
