Abstract
A cooling device for improving the cooling of computing devices in a data center is disclosed. The cooling device comprises an air deflector that is configured to be attached to a hot aisle air barrier at an angle to direct computing device exhaust air toward the nearest hot aisle exhaust vent. The device may comprise a mounting mechanism for fixing the air deflector in position, such as eyelets or clips that attach to the computing device's exhaust fan grille. The air deflector may be rotatable so that the angle between the hot aisle air barrier and the air deflector may be adjusted. The cooling device may further comprise a visual air flow indicator to assist in positioning of the air deflector and airflow monitoring.
