Why Aisle Containment Matters

Inefficient Airflow Impact

Poor airflow management leads to significant operational issues:

  • Energy Waste: Up to 50% of cooling energy lost through air mixing
  • Temperature Issues: Hot spots can reduce equipment lifespan by 30%
  • Cooling Inefficiency: CRAC units operating at 60-70% effectiveness
  • Capacity Limitations: Restricted ability to increase rack densities

Signs You Need Containment

Key indicators that signal containment needs:

  • Temperature Variations: Significant differences between supply and return air
  • High Energy Costs: Excessive cooling system power consumption
  • Capacity Issues: Inability to deploy high-density racks
  • Equipment Problems: Frequent temperature-related alerts

Containment Benefits

Our solutions deliver measurable results:

  • Energy Savings: 20-35% reduction in cooling costs
  • Capacity Increase: Up to 60% higher rack densities possible
  • Temperature Control: ±2°F temperature consistency
  • Cooling Efficiency: 30% improvement in cooling effectiveness

Custom Containment Door Systems

The Challenge

In containment projects, aisle access doors are critical. However, misaligned cabinets and varying infrastructure layouts present significant challenges for standard solutions.

Our Solution

  • Custom-manufactured door modules
  • Adaptable to any cabinet configuration
  • Compatible with all major manufacturers
  • Precise fit for optimal containment

Roof System Compatible with Sprinkler Systems

The Challenge

Deploying an overhead aisle containment solution may limit the effectiveness of sprinklers in case of fire. The costs generated by the work to adapt the plumbing, combined with the disruptions and the contamination, can present a considerable increase in the overall cost of the project.

Our Solution

We’ve developed a revolutionary roof tile system using thermoplastic polymer panels in an aluminum frame. Key features include:

  • Heat-responsive panels deform at 110°F
  • UL-listed panels automatically release at 130°F
  • Frames clear before sprinkler activation
  • Custom manufactured in Quebec

Implementation

Our frames are custom-manufactured to fit your exact aisle dimensions. They’re secured using aluminum P-shaped profiles and can be mounted either directly on cabinets or suspended from the ceiling using threaded rods. The design allows easy access to cabinet tops through lift-up panels.

Custom Blanking Panel Solutions

The Challenge

Equipment installation delays or postponed projects can leave empty spaces between cabinets, significantly disrupting the airtightness of your hot/cold aisle configuration. For optimal containment system effectiveness, these void spaces must be properly sealed.

Our Solution

We provide custom-manufactured blanking panels that:

  • Custom-fit to exact space dimensions
  • Easily removable for future equipment installation
  • Maintain airtight containment integrity
  • Professional finish matching existing infrastructure

Orphan Cabinet Containment Solutions

The Challenge

Legacy data center layouts often predate modern hot/cold aisle configurations. This creates situations where isolated cabinets draw their cooling air from the hot aisle, significantly reducing cooling efficiency and potentially risking equipment performance.

Our Solution

We’ve developed specialized individual containment solutions for orphan cabinets that:

  • Isolate orphaned equipment from hot air intake
  • Create dedicated cooling pathways
  • Maintain optimal operating temperatures
  • Integrate seamlessly with existing infrastructure
