ContainAire™

Modern raised floor data centers are design using hot aisle/coldaisle layouts. This is done so that hot exhaust air from the racks in one row is not being ingested by the intake of another rack inthe next row. This equipment layout strategy is intended to help keep the hot equipment exhaust air separated from the cold air being supplied from under the raised floor. While hot/cold aisle design is a necessary first step, it often doesn’t go far enough.

Typical hot aisle/cold aisle layouts have a significant amount of mixing reducing capacity and efficiency. Cold aisle containment systems are used to ensure maximum airflow to the racks inlet. Hot aisle containment systems provide a path for exhaust air to be returned to the CRAC unit without mixing.

Containment systems have become one of the most popular strategies for segregating hot and cold airflow and Tate's ContainAire™ is the optimum solution . Easy to install, you will see immediate results: Intake temperatures lowered and return temperatures increased, while reducing energy costs and increasing cooling capacity.

Tate offers a full range of hot and cold aisle containment products. ContainAire Partition, Strip Doors, Retracting Roofs, Hinged and Sliding Doors all work together to create the perfect containment solution to meet any data center equipment layout. Our systems are designed using fire suppression links that eliminate the need for additional detection and suppression systems allowing for easy incorporation into new and existing facilities.

ContainAire™ Configurations for Cold Aisle Containment

A cold aisle containment system can be created using ContainAire Partitions or a Retracting Roof. Since all the air is intended to go through the equipment a retracting roof keeps the cool air closer to the equipment. ContainAire partitions can be used around the top of the racks provided there are solid ceiling tiles in place over the aisle.
Cold Aisle Option 1:
ContainAire Partitions
with strip doors.
Cold Aisle Option 2:
ContainAire Partitions
with hinged or sliding doors.
Cold Aisle Option 3:
ContainAire Retracting
Roof with hinged or
sliding doors.

ContainAire™ Configurations for Hot Aisle Containment

A hot aisle containment system will need to use the ContainAire partitions around the top of the racks since the hot air will need to exhaust through the ceiling return grilles. These systems can be used with any door option.
Hot Aisle Option 1:
ContainAire Partitions with strip doors and ceiling return grilles.
Hot Aisle Option 2:
ContainAire Partitions with hinged or sliding doors and ceiling return grilles.
