Cold Aisle Configuration Scheme for Data Center

Home / Cold Aisle Configuration Scheme for Data Center

Cold aisle containment (CAC) is a proven data center cooling strategy that creates physical barriers around cold air supply zones, preventing contamination from hot exhaust air and eliminating the energy-wasting effects of air mixing. Hot aisle and cold aisle containment are foundational concepts in data center design. While these concepts are not new, their successful implementation requires detailed planning, precise engineering, and thorough analysis to deliver maximum efficiency.

Move to a Hot Aisle/Cold Aisle Layout

A Time-tested Technique The hot aisle /cold aisle data center layout was originated by IBM in 1992 and it is one of the oldest ways to save energy in the data center.

FOCUSED COOLING USING COLD AISLE CONTAINMENT

As an addition to a conventional precision cooling system, cold aisle containment consistently separates cold and warm areas without requiring structural changes to the data center.

Move to a Hot Aisle/Cold Aisle Layout

Hot aisle/cold aisle layout makes sense for the vast majority of new data centers or data center expansions. However, retrofitting an existing data center with a new
