  • Enclosed Hot Aisle of Computer Room

    Enclosed Hot Aisle of Computer Room

    Hot Aisle Containment encloses the aisle with the exhaust side of the computing equipment and the return air grilles or plenum so that hot air only goes to the return air intake of the cooling equipment. The HAC. Traditional open aisle data centres use perimeter PAC (precision air conditioning) or CRAC (computer room air conditioning) units to channel cold air up through a raised floor void via grilles positioned in front of the IT cabinets. Designed for data centers and IT environments, our hot aisle and cold aisle containment systems help isolate airflow, optimize temperature control, and protect critical equipment.

  • Cold Aisle Computer Room Fire Protection System

    Cold Aisle Computer Room Fire Protection System

    In all aisle-containment systems, a computer room air handler (CRAH) circulates chilled air through the aisles. These systems can be arranged in the following three ways: “ Cold-aisle ” containment, where cold air is introduced to the contained aisle and exits via the server racks to the. Due to the ever changing world of Data Centre cooling, there are a variety of approaches and air distribution methods found in today's Data Centre's. It's essential when designing a fire protection system that the key airflow paths and plenums are identified. Aisle containment creates an even and consistent supply intake temperature for data center equipment and electronics. A detector capable of very early warning protection from smoke and fire, such as FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sens-ing Technology, is ideal for protecting hot aisles and cold aisles as it combines.
