Aisle Containment Solutions for Data Centres

Both Cold Aisle and Hot Aisle Containment solutions can substantially improve the predictability and efficiency of a data centre’s cooling provision- delivering a whole host of benefits. The inclusion of airflow containment strategies can also provide a highly effective method of eliminating the mixing of hot and cold airflows within the data centre- leading to improved performance, uptime and life expectancy of the cooling equipment- whilst also substantially reducing the cooling systems operating costs and improving the environmental conditions for the teams working in these data centres. 4 Why Use Aisle Containment? The benefits of introducing Airflow Containment and Management systems are now becoming widely accepted by Data Centre professionals and, Weatherite Aluminium Solutions can offer an extensive range of solutions to meet the client’s exact requirements. Cold Aisle Containment Solutions In a typical Cold Aisle Containment configuration, the data centre cold aisles are fully enclosed, ensuring all the cold air is directed into the front facing server racks-preventing the cold air from mixing with the hot exhaust air being directed to the rear of the servers. This system is based on the principle of ‘complete’ separation of hot and cold air flows- leading to a range of significant improvements in Data Centre efficiencies. Weatherite Aluminium Solutions are experts in the design, manufacture and installation of bespoke Cold Aisle Containment solutions.
