What Is a Blank Panel?
A blank panel is a panel used to fill a gap by fitting it into an empty space.
The word “blank” in blank panel means gap.
Uses of Blank Panels
Blank panels are fitted into vacant or unused spaces to prevent dust and debris from entering.
They have a wide range of other applications, such as protecting equipment from heat by improving ventilation through the creation of air pathways. They are used in data centers and other locations where air conditioning and temperature control are important.
They are also used as blindfolds in unused spaces and panel-cutting blindfolds for electronic equipment.
Other Information on Blank Panels
In addition to their blindfolding and dust-proofing effects, blank panels can manage airflow.
In data centers, preventing gaps between equipment is one measure taken to prevent hot air from being emitted and increasing room temperatures. When servers are arranged vertically, airflow is created between servers, which in turn causes heat to accumulate. In such cases, using blank panels to fill unnecessary gaps allows hot air to circulate, which can result in a change in indoor temperature of approximately 10 degrees Celsius.
