WHAT ISCold Aisle Containment in a Data Center?

Cold aisle containment (CAC) is a physical barrier – such as a door and wall enclosure – designed to manage airflow & regulate air temperature to IT equipment.

Wondering how it works? Follow our explanation of the cold aisle containment

process.

In cold aisle containment models, ceiling-mounted flexible vinyl panels & aisle end doors are engineered and pre-assembled to create a data center enclosure.

Cooled, conditioned air is supplied and restricted to the cold aisle enclosure to

maintain ideal server conditions.

Cold aisle containment systems are custom designed to contain air flow patterns & control

temperatures in the server aisles in order to

protect the servers from overheating.

Ceiling mounted flexible wall panels are used to contain open areas above and between the server racks.

Blanking panels close off open areas under the cabinets or between the server units.

This airflow containment system can be custom designed to fit nearly any

server room layout.

PVC soft vinyl panels & other accessories are used

in cold aisle containment to maintain a uniform & predictable temperature in the data

center enclosure.

What are the benefits?Successfully configured cold aisle containment

models eradicate any hot or cold spots that can disrupt even distribution of air for cooling

the server units.

Cold aisle containment helps ensure steady cooling of IT equipment according to manufacturers’ specifications. It also helps to keep the servers stable with consistent

chilling methods that avoid overcooling.

A cold aisle containment enclosure that is well

designed can improve server performance &

helps to decrease energy costs.
