WHITE PAPER
Non-raised floor & overhead air conditioning system is present; containment is achieved through single sliding doors, custom ceiling panels, and cooling being ducted into the aisle via the Polar Roof and diffusers.
Let us find a solution for you
With cooling provided through a raised floor, this cold aisle containment project uses rigid wall panels in conjunction with the Polar Cap 2 roof system to provide containment in aisles with missing rows.

Let us find a solution for youAn enormous amount of energy is used every day to maintain an acceptable intake temperature to the IT equipment. In recent years, there has been no greater positive impact on the cooling of data centers than the introduction of containment. The energy savings alone has saved hundreds of millions of dollars and has greatly decreased data centers’ carbon footprint. Data center containment has virtually changed the way IT facilities are designed and operated by fully separating cold supply from hot equipment exhaust air.
See our products featured as cold aisle containment in a tour of a data center in The New York Times video “Into the Cloud.”
The natural properties of cold air requires doors to prevent it from flowing out from the aisle ends. Cold aisle containment (CAC) ensures that the IT equipment is being cooled within the manufacturers’ specifications. Hot spots, like a weak link in a chain, impacts the ability to achieve the efficient operating conditions recommended by the new ASHRAE TC 9.9 guidelines. CAC creates a uniform and predictable airflow that eliminates hot spots, ensuring optimal operating efficiencies
Data center space is expensive. Many companies do not populate the top 15% of the rack due to inconsistent supply air temperature. The area at the top of the rack is typically affected by hot exhaust air recirculation. Cold aisle containment systems are designed
