Learn
What is aisle containment?
Aisle containment is an airflow management system that completely separates the cold supply airflow from the hot equipment exhaust air. This ultimately creates an even and consistent supply temperature to the intake of data center equipment and electronics, while the returning air is warmer and drier when it reaches the AC coil. There can be either hot or cold containment implemented, depending on your particular facility’s layout.
The worlds most dynamic data centers trust Cool Shield™ containment systems to optimize efficiency.
