Hot/Cold Aisle Containment
Design and install hot/cold aisle containment systems that reduce cooling costs 20-40% and improve power usage effectiveness (PUE).
Overview
Hot aisle/cold aisle containment prevents the mixing of hot exhaust air and cold supply air in your data center. This simple but highly effective approach reduces cooling energy consumption by 20-40%, enables higher server densities, and improves overall data center reliability. Summit DNC designs and installs containment systems for data centers of all sizes.
Key Benefits
- 20-40% reduction in cooling energy costs
- Enable higher server rack densities
- Eliminate hot spots and temperature variations
- Extend equipment lifespan with consistent cooling
- Improve PUE (power usage effectiveness)
- Reduce carbon footprint and energy costs
