Cold Aisle Containment Systems are recognised as a simple, yet highly effective means of keeping servers cool whilst at the same time reducing the amount of energy used to cool the Data Centre. Maintaining the correct temperature in your Data Centre results in fewer equipment failures and so improves business continuity. Cold Aisle Containment concentrates cold air exactly where it is needed so, instead of cooling the whole Data Centre you only need to cool specific areas within the room. The rest of the room can be maintained at higher temperature set points, which significantly improves the efficiency of your cooling system, while reducing energy costs and, subsequently, your carbon footprint.
Most Cold Aisle Containment Systems are designed to work with specific manufacturers’ own racks. EDP Europe’s aisle containment system is a non-intrusive, bespoke retrofit to existing Data Centre installations, regardless of the cabinet make, height or width.
In the past, difficulties have arisen when trying to integrate aisle containment systems with existing fire suppression systems. Our containment has been designed to work in conjunction with both water and gas fire detection and suppression systems via a choice of roof panel options. stableAir’s unique fusible link system avoids the considerable cost and disruption of extending existing sprinklers into the contained aisle. In a fire situation, the links melt at 58°C, causing the panels to drop into the aisle, allowing unhindered sprinkler access directly into the aisle. Other stableAir roof panel options are compatible with existing gas fire suppression systems.
stableAir Features & Benefits
• Retrofits to existing cabinets no matter their height, width or make.
• Lightweight roof panels can be easily demounted for maintenance access.
• Release mechanism releases roof panels at 58°C to allow sprinklers to distribute water.
• Gas fire protection system also available.
• Savings of up to 30% of current Data Centre cooling costs.
• Power savings on room hardware.
• Increases equipment reliability and longevity
• Reduces carbon emissions.
• Typical payback within less than 12 months.
