EcoAisle™ Aisle Containment System
Modular ceiling tiles and doors/curtains can be used to enclose the hot aisle. This increases the densities that
can be handled in a single rack enclosure by eliminating mixing of hot and cold air streams. This method,
called load neutralization, removes the heat from the hot aisle, cools it, and then returns it to the surrounding
room area. The warmer return air temperatures that are achieved in this application increase the capacity of the
air conditioner and, in many cases, eliminate the need for make-up humidification.
Use of modular ceiling tiles across a 3- to 6-ft. hot aisle that connects two opposite rack enclosures makes
expansion quick and simple. Expansion kits, with the necessary ceiling tile and all baying hardware, can be
ordered to increase the size of the hot aisle. The end doors/curtains can be easily removed and re-attached for
expansion.
The enclosed hot aisle prevents any warm return air from mixing with cooler supply air. In effect, all
surrounding room air can act as supply air to the system. The EcoAisle aisle containment system is beneficial
in any environment. It can be deployed quickly in any controlled space without expensive additions to the
infrastructure, such as raised floor or ductwork.
