Siemon launches new aisle containment solutions
Siemon has expanded its line of WheelHouse
data centre solutions to include comprehensive
aisle containment solutions with both cold aisle
containment (CAC) and hot aisle containment (HAC)
options that significantly improve efficiency and
cost-effectively expand capacity for today’s data
centres.
By either containing and isolating the cold air
supply, or by guiding hot exhaust to overhead return
air spaces, the new aisle containment solutions
prevent the mixing of hot and cold air in the data
centre. This allows for higher temperature return air
to improve the efficiency of existing cooling systems
and reduce energy costs, while preventing overprovisioning of computer room air conditioning units.
Alternatively, these solutions cost-effectively expand
the capacity of the data centre to cool higher heat
densities, maximising both cabinet and floor space
without the need for supplemental cooling.
Designed with robust seals for optimal thermal
isolation, the new aisle containment solutions consist
of CAC roof panels, HAC standing cabinet panels,
single and double manual and self-closing doors,
and end panels that have been designed for quick
and easy on-site attachment to rows of Siemon
VersaPOD, V800 and V600 data centre cabinets.
The containment systems are also compatible with
Siemon’s SidePOD and Baffle solutions that support
side-to-side ventilated active equipment. n
