Hot and Cold Aisle Containment Solution, provided by NPS, offers a strategic approach to data center cooling by segregating hot and cold air streams to optimize airflow management and improve cooling efficiency. Our solution helps maintain stable temperatures, enhance equipment performance, and reduce energy consumption within the data center environment.
Hot Aisle Containment
The “hot aisle” is encased in hot aisle containment systems (HAC), and cold air is delivered from outside the enclosure. Hot exhaust air is either channeled to an in-row cooling unit (IRC) return or permitted to flow upward from within the enclosure into the air conditioning return and away from the equipment via physical barriers and specialized ducts.
Working environment for data center operators or technicians should be considered while deciding between HAC and CAC systems. The region outside the cage is known as the “cold aisle” in HAC, and it is where personnel may most frequently travel. When working on the power inputs of the equipment, people may be restricted from working in the hot aisle enclosed area. Furthermore, this option may necessitate more bespoke duct work and may be slightly more expensive than CAC systems. HAC, on the other hand, is thought to be more efficient because it allows for greater return air set temperatures for the air conditioning system.
Cold Aisle Containment
The “cold aisle” is encased in cold aisle containment systems (CAC), and cold air is delivered from within the enclosure. The enclosure’s heated exhaust air is discharged into the surrounding environment. One significant advantage of this technology is that it is frequently easier to retrofit into existing data centers, particularly those with elevated floors. Because the exhaust air is provided outside of the enclosure and not returned directly to the AC unit, less custom duct work is required. However, because the area outside the enclosure can get hot rapidly, data center managers should normally adjust the supply air to a temperature that is colder than intended for efficient operation.
Key Features
Aisle Containment Structures
- We design and install aisle containment structures, including physical barriers and panels, to segregate hot and cold aisles within the data center. These structures prevent the mixing of hot and cold air streams, reducing the risk of hot spots and improving cooling efficiency.
Hot Aisle Containment (HAC)
- Our solution includes hot aisle containment enclosures installed over the hot aisles, enclosing the exhaust airflow from IT equipment. This containment method prevents hot air from recirculating into the cold aisle, optimizing cooling efficiency and reducing energy consumption.
Cold Aisle Containment (CAC)
- We provide cold aisle containment solutions, including roof panels and doors, installed over the cold aisles to contain the supply airflow directed toward IT equipment. This containment method ensures that cold air reaches the intake of IT equipment, maximizing cooling effectiveness.
Aisle End Doors and Panels
- Our solution includes aisle end doors and panels to seal off the ends of hot and cold aisles, preventing airflow bypass and ensuring containment integrity. These doors and panels improve airflow management and enhance cooling efficiency within the contained aisles.
Blanking Panels and Airflow Management Accessories
- We offer blanking panels and airflow management accessories to optimize airflow patterns within the containment aisles, minimizing air recirculation, hot spots, and inefficiencies. These accessories improve cooling effectiveness and reduce energy consumption.
Airflow Sensors and Environmental Monitoring
- Our solution integrates airflow sensors and environmental monitoring devices to measure airflow velocities, temperatures, and humidity levels within the containment aisles. This data enables real-time monitoring and optimization of cooling performance.
Modular and Customizable Design
- We provide modular and customizable containment solutions that can be tailored to fit the specific layout and requirements of any data center environment. Our flexible design allows for easy installation, reconfiguration, and expansion as data center needs evolve.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
- By optimizing airflow management and cooling efficiency, our hot and cold aisle containment solution helps reduce energy consumption and operational costs associated with data center cooling. This results in long-term cost savings and improved sustainability.
