Aisle Containment

Design, manufacture and install of bespoke aisle containment systems for use in retrofit, new build and hyperscale projects.

Bespoke Aisle Containment

Aisle containment is a recognised solution to aid the cooling of high-density server installations within Data Centres and Enterprise IT rooms.

EDP Data Centre Solutions designs, manufactures and installs bespoke containment systems for use in retrofit, new build and hyperscale projects.

By segregating cold and hot aisles, aisle containment solutions greatly improve the management of both conditioned air delivery and hot air return paths. Aisle containment solutions reduce the risk of hot and cold air mixing, by-pass airflow, and air re-circulation – all of which contributes to cooling optimisation & increased energy efficiency.

There are two recognised aisle containment methodologies:

Cold Aisle Containment

Where the cold aisle is enclosed so containing the cold air that cools the IT equipment.

Hot Aisle Containment

Where the hot aisle is enclosed, and the hot exhaust air is either directed into the return plenum and back to the CRAC units or is cooled by In-Row Coolers.

Features & Benefits

  • Non-intrusive, bespoke and retrofitting solution, that can be used in new build, retrofit or hyperscale projects in Enterprise or Colocation Data Centres.

  • Scalable & Modular, systems can be floor standing or suspended from ceiling.

  • Engineering, production and installation teams in UK, Europe & USA for global support.

  • Optimise efficiency by preventing the mixing of hot and cold air.

  • Custom designed solutions that use infill panels to seal round obstacles, differing rack heights or maintaining gaps for future rack expansion.

  • Our project management team will survey your site, then produce 2D drawings and 3D renders of the proposed system.

  • Using Augmented Reality clients can ‘walk through’ their proposed solution within their Data Centre, prior to deployment to see how it integrates with other infrastructure.

Flexible & Custom Engineered

EDP Data Centre Solutions custom engineered Hot and Cold Aisle Containment systems are designed to be supported from the raised floor or suspended from overhead structural ceiling grids. Modular designs enable the system to scale with growth on demand with solutions integrating with other critical data, power and fire suppression services.

The flexibility custom design provides enables it to tackle obstacles within the aisle such as building support columns, as well as considering uneven rack heights.
