Re: Managing Heat in a component "closet" or in-wall rack



Hi Ken,

Joseph sent you in the right direction. Basically, an exhaust fan at the top of the rack will get the job done (seeing as hot air rises). Since you're going to have a door on the front with rear access from a back room, you could just exhaust to that back room and it shouldn't be hard to keep things quiet.

The only problem is that anytime you move air, dust comes with it. So you might want to find a way to seal the front door and include an inlet with some sort of filtering. The inlet should be at the bottom of the rack.

Regards,
Wayne A. Pflughaupt
