as a door and wall enclosure – designed to manage
airflow & regulate air temperature to IT
equipment.

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

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

5. Cooled, conditioned air is supplied and
restricted to the cold aisle enclosure to
maintain ideal server conditions.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. This airflow containment system can
be custom designed to fit nearly any
server room layout.

9. PVC soft vinyl panels & other accessories are used
in cold aisle containment to maintain a uniform
& predictable temperature in the data
center enclosure.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. A cold aisle containment enclosure that is well
designed can improve server performance &
helps to decrease energy costs.
