Home ProductsHot Aisle Containment

GREEN DC Hot Aisle Containment is a cooling strategy that isolates the hot air generated by IT equipment, creating a contained, controlled space for the hot exhaust air to flow towards the cooling units. The product comprises key components as such:

The sliding door consists of two movable panels made from durable polycarbonate and aluminum. It is available in customizable sizes, types, and colors to seamlessly fit your data center's design and requirements. The door can also be customized as a single-panel or double-panel sliding configuration to accommodate different space constraints and preferences. Featuring a smooth soft-closing mechanism and bigger aisle width coverage, it ensures quiet and controlled operation, reducing wear and tear while maintaining a secure seal for optimal containment performance.

Made from aluminium profiles and polycarbonate, a modern solution designed to optimize the cooling efficiency in datacentres or server rooms. The chimney creates a dedicated, sealed path for hot air generated by servers, directing it toward the ceiling, into the cooling units, and preventing it from mixing with the cold air. It can be customized with various type of polycarbonate such as twin wall, clear cut or tinted to meet various datacentre requirements and conformity standards.

In the HAC system, heat is transferred from the hot server equipment into the air. This process is governed by convective heat transfer, where the heated air rises and is subsequently carried away by the containment system. Chimney prevents this heated air from mixing with the cold air, ensuring that the cooling units receive only the hot air for efficient heat removal.

Air in the HAC system is driven by natural convection or be assisted by forced convection from cooling units. These are both important fluid mechanics concepts in the design of a HAC system. The principle of natural convection is based on the buoyancy-driven flow of air due to temperature differences. As the hot air from the servers warms up, it becomes less dense and rises, creating an upward flow of air. This buoyant force drives the hot air upward and toward the containment exit.
