Passive Hot Aisle Containment

The Net-Contain

™

Passive Hot Aisle Containment (HAC) System provides a physical

separation between the cold air and the hot exhaust air by enclosing the hot aisle. The goal

of a HAC system is to capture all of the cabinet exhaust air and return it to the cooling units.

HAC optimizes airow distribution and cooling system performance. The remaining area

outside of the HAC becomes a cold room with ambient air temperature close to the supply

air temperature.

This integrated system is compatible with numerous Panduit product lines including:

Benets

Energy Efciency:

Prevents hot spots and allows installation of high-density server cabinets close

together in new builds or existing data centers, reducing the need for extra real estate

and CRAH units lowering operating costs.

Optimized Airow Distribution:

Prevents mixing of cold and hot air streams; eliminates recirculation of hot air to

cabinet inlets; provides uniform temperature at the inlets of IT equipment; prevents

cold air bypass, optimizing cool air delivery.

Improves Thermal Performance:

Allows raising supply air set point temperature; higher return air temperature increases

the thermal efciency of cooling units, reducing cooling energy cost up to 25 – 30%.
