By separating the hot and cold air in a data centre, the SmartRac Cold Aisle Containment solution ensures:

• Increased cooling efficiency
• Improved space utilization
• Lower air flow requirements - extending the life of the CRAC.
• Elimination of hot spots within the aisles.
• No requirement for additional lighting due to aisle windows.
• Enhanced security with optional biometric/keypad access.
• Containment of fire surpression systems.

(1) The void between the raised floor and the ground is flooded with cold air from the CRAC.
(2) The positive pressure in the floor allows the cold air to filter into the contained aisle through vented floor tiles.
(3) This cold air is then pulled through the equipment inside the rack.
(4) The air is now warmer due to the heat generated by the equipment. The hot air is channeled upward in the plenum door by twelve fans.
(5) The hot air continues upward, through the chimney, until it is exhausted into the ceiling void.
