Cold aisle containment systems use doors at aisle ends, ceiling panels or lids above racks, and structural frames to create enclosed zones where cold supply air flows directly to IT equipment intakes. Without containment, cold supply and hot exhaust air mix throughout the data. n is a best practice solution that separates hot and cold air streams. This method raises the temperature of the air returning to a Computer Room Air Con itioner (CRAC) unit, which allows the unit to operate more eficiently. An enormous amount of energy is used every day to maintain an acceptable intake temperature to the IT equipment. When implemented correctly, they improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, extend equipment life, and enhance overall reliability. In this guide, we'll break down how hot aisle and cold aisle configurations. Armstrong aisle containment combines flexible design, strategic sourcing, and American manufacturing to deliver solutions that ensure long-term performance in a rapidly evolving digital world. Essentially creating a room within the aisle, the system helps keep hot and cold air separated to make existing air conditioning systems in data center and edge-of-network. Design, manufacture and install of bespoke aisle containment systems for use in retrofit, new build and hyperscale projects.
