CoolControl Modular Aisle Containment

CoolControl Modular Aisle Containment

We took our CoolControl curtains one step further to create a completely modular containment system called CoolControl Containment. This new system is suitable for structural as well as �soft� containment of the cold or warm aisle in data centres. The basic structure consists of aluminium profiles that can be connected to form a frame which is then attached to the wall, ceiling or the racks of a data centre. Soft elements (e.g. curtains) and/or solid panels made of plastic, glass or Plexiglas are integrated into these frames to completely contain the racks along the cold or warm aisle, even if the racks were made by different manufacturers or are different sizes and heights. Blinding panels can also be integrated into the containment system to seal off unoccupied rack units in racks and prevent warm air from recirculating back to the cold aisle. The containment solution comes with special airflow panels to ensure the optimum flow of cold from the raised floor to the front of the rack.

CoolControl Xpand, an accordion-shaped foam insulation system for cable openings in the rack floor, can also be combined with the containment solution to prevent bypass airflow. The final element in the system is a caging module made of steel rods or metal sheets for reliable and low-cost colocation and housing.
