Row Level Containment
Optimize Cooling in the Data Center with Row-level Containment
Improving cold aisle and hot aisle separation at the row level is known as Row Airflow Management (AFM). After improving AFM at the Rack and Raised Floor levels, evaluating the air distribution in rows should be your next step in reducing energy consumption.
CEG has decades of experience developing all types of in-row aisle containment – hot aisle and/or cold aisle, legacy and modular setups. Our custom solutions and expert installation will allow you to make big strides toward efficiency goals.
Row-level Aisle Containment Best Practices
Seal spaces in cabinet rows. Whether it’s just a few inches or a few feet, this step will dramatically impact IT equipment intake temperatures at a reasonable cost.
Installing aisle-end containment doors, whether applied to hot or cold aisles, will yield huge benefits by eliminate exhaust air recirculation in this area.
Install top-of-rack containment. Top-of-rack containment (partial or full) on either the hot or cold aisles is typically deployed in situations of high cabinet densities or when the highest possible efficiency is desired.
Doors reduce operating costs by improving thermal efficiency and reducing IT equipment intake temperatures.
