Methods for sealing off cold aisles in computer rooms
This involves sealing off the aisle so that cold air does not mix with warm air within the data center. By sealing out moisture, the total available cooling can be more effectively used to cool the computer servers' heat load, which is 100% sensible (no moisture content). Beyond implementing basic measures such as sealing moisture out of the data center and improving air flow, aisle containment to prevent the mixing of hot and cold air stands out as a method that can dramatically reduce energy costs, minimize hot spots and improve the carbon footprint of data. Cold aisle containment (CAC) serves as a fundamental airflow management strategy in modern Data Centres, optimising cooling efficiency and enhancing overall performance.
