An acoustic door for an equipment enclosure, such as a rack mount cabinet,
also provides a low impedance air flow uniformly delivered across the
cabinet opening. A pair of metal panels, with acoustic foam along the
rear surfaces, extend angularly outward and toward one another to form an
air inlet opening between the outer edges. A central column is positioned
between the panels which, in a horizontal section, forms an aerodynamic
dome which has a continuously curved sheet metal surface at the front and
sides that also captures a core of acoustic foam that is exposed at the
rear. A rigid vane is disposed at each lateral side and parallel to the
central column to cause air to follow the column surface, deflecting air
behind the column and effecting uniform delivery of air flow across the
cabinet front opening at the rear opening of the door.
