Precision Cooling for Peak Performance
Cold aisle containment creates an enclosed corridor in front of server cabinets, ensuring that the coldest air goes directly into equipment intakes. By isolating the cold aisle, containment reduces unintended mixing of cold supply air with hot exhaust air, maintaining uniform, predictable temperatures across all racks.
Benefits:
- Superior Cooling Efficiency: By sealing the cold aisle so that only cool supply air reaches server inlets, cold aisle containment improves the effectiveness of airflow management. This focused use of cold air reduces waste and helps your cooling systems operate more efficiently, ultimately reducing energy consumption and reduced operating costs.
- Enhanced Equipment Reliability and Lifespan: A controlled cooling environment helps prevent hotspots and thermal excursions that can stress servers. By maintaining consistent, predictable temperatures, cold aisle containment minimizes thermal stress and reduces the risk of overheating, improving reliability and extending equipment lifespans.
- Flexible, Scalable Cooling Solutions: Legrand’s cold aisle containment offerings are designed to adapt to a wide range of data center sizes and layouts. The modular design of containment systems supports multiple unique configurations, enabling scalable deployment and easier reconfiguration as demands evolve.
Containment Solutions
The Contain-IT FLEX system is comprised of stock components that are assembled to create containment systems. The components can be assembled on site to create hot or cold aisle containment supported by the cabinet and/or ceiling.
Pros:
- Short lead time
- In-stock components
- Custom configuration
- Additional labor is required
- Creative installers are needed for complex situations
Our pre-fabricated solutions are pre-cut and assembled to save time on-site. The system is pre-configured to create hot or cold aisle containment, supported by the cabinet and/or ceiling.
Pros:
- Ability to powder coat white or black
- Material choices
- Shorter installation time
- Longer lead time
- Additional components (if needed) require fabrication time
- Limited on-site flexibility
This solution captures many requirements typically placed on the building shell and places it closer to the equipment. This includes busway, conveyance, docking, and other ancillary items. Seismic-rated solutions are available.
Pros:
- Engineered to simplify building shell
- Supported by floor
- Turnkey solution
- Requires site-specific information
- Collaboration with trades during design
