Whether you are building a new data centre or providing for the ever increasing power and cooling demands in a current facility,your project will require a mix of specific talents and expertise including: engineering, installation skills and project management.

Since 1982, Dataracks has been a leader in providing data centre solutions to some of the biggest names in the industry. We understand the special requirements of mission critical facilities and will create the most cost effective solution that meets the demanding requirements of your business. Additionally, our support services will help you make the most of your equipment by optimising performance and longevity.

Hot/cold aisle containmentAs a pioneer in the development and application of hot/cold aisle containment, Dataracks has unrivalled expertise in this area. We have developed solutions – both large scale and on a more modest size - for a wide range of customers.

Hot/cold aisle containment is a highly effective form of airflow management that results in the optimisation of cold air usage.

It improves the flow of cooled air through the data racking and aisles. It can be retrofitted in a live environment and maintains consistent optimum cool working temperatures. Effective airflow management gives you:

• Elimination of hot & cold air mixing• Control of humidity and static• Significant reduction in energy usage.• Control of inlet temperature• Eliminates hot spots

Cold aisle containment (CAC) works by creating a cold airplenum chamber within a cold aisle and preventing the mixing of hot and cold air flows.

Hot aisle containment (HAC) ensures the controlled flow of hotair back to the CRAC units. Dataracks offer two versions of HAC -ceiling plenum or rack chimneys

The optimum choice of CAC / HAC for any particular installation will depend on factors such as:

• Floor construction / air flow under voids• Ceiling construction and accessibility• Shape of data centre• Ducting

Whether you are building a new data centre

or providing for the ever increasing power

and cooling demands in a current facility,

your project will require a mix of specific

talents and expertise including: engineering,

installation skills and project management.

Hot/cold aisle containment

As a pioneer in the development and application of hot/cold aisle

containment, Dataracks has unrivalled expertise in this area. We

have developed solutions – both large scale and on a more modest

size - for a wide range of customers.

Hot/cold aisle containment is a highly effective form of airflow

management that results in the optimisation of cold air usage.

It improves the flow of cooled air through the data racking and aisles.

It can be retrofitted in a live environment and maintains consistent

optimum cool working temperatures.

Effective airflow management gives you:

n Elimination of hot & cold air mixing

n Control of humidity and static

n Significant reduction in energy usage.

n Control of inlet temperature

n Eliminates hot spots

Cold aisle containment (CAC) works by creating a cold air

plenum chamber within a cold aisle and preventing the mixing of hot

and cold air flows.

Hot aisle containment (HAC) ensures the controlled flow of hot

air back to the CRAC units. Dataracks offer two versions of HAC -

ceiling plenum or rack chimneys

The optimum choice of CAC / HAC for any particular installation will

depend on factors such as:

n Floor construction / air flow under voids

The Dataracks Service

We will Design, manufacture and Install an optimum solution for

each individual situation, but solutions typically include:

n Stopping bypass air through unused U-space, vertical gaps between frames and side panels and tile cut

n Closing the ends of cold aisles to prevent cold/hot air recirculation and redirect cold airflow through the servers

n Closing in the space above the aisle with panels to prevent air re-circulation & hotspots

n Evening out the cold air distribution & temperature

n Balancing airflow though vented floor tiles

n Control of inlet temperature

n Solutions to fit all fire suppression systems

Our engineers will also consider issues such as balancing of CRAC

units, best solutions to handle fire suppression systems, work area

evacuation, compliance with standards, noise levels, access to

overhead space, integral security options and the ability to expand

for future storage requirements.

Retrofit solutions

Datacentres come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes many with

multiple rack sizes, brands, row layouts, obstacles. With our in-house

CAD/ CAM designers, full UK manufacturing facilities and own

installation engineers we have can handle anything from the basic

solution to the most complex environment

Our products

We manufacture a wide range of products that will make your data

centre more efficient. We also design and manufacture bespoke

solutions that can accommodate a wide range of scenarios.

The Dataracks Survey

We offer a free survey to assess your requirements and provide advice

and proposals that will fully meet your aspirations. Using thermal

imaging cameras we can quickly ascertain the flow of air in the aisles

and can formulate and fabricate a solution that will increase efficiency.

The survey will be undertaken by one of our highly experienced

engineers who can offer you an in-depth expertise that has been

gained over many years in working on many installations for major

organisations.
