The Aisle-Cocooning  System is a cold aisle containment solution that provides segregation of cold aisle air flow from hot aisle exhaust air, in data centers.

This protects equipment against damage, prolongs equipment life, reduces the load on the computer room air conditioning and saves energy, reducing carbon footprint.

You can choose between two types of cocooning:

• Passive - quick-fit overhead panels that are fixed in place

• Active - quick-fit overhead panels that open automatically in case of fire, allowing overhead fire suppresent into the aisles

 

The whole infrastructure is:

• Modular

• Quick-Fit

• Effective

• Re-locatable

• Inexpensive
  

How does it work?

The Aisle-Cocoon concept is technically elegant. Stated simply, all significant air pathways from the hot aisle to the cold aisle are blocked.

The aisle containment solution from Webitelecomms provides a system of overhead aisle panels and aisle end doors which effectively seal off, usually the cold aisle. This ensures that the cold air emitted from the floor is sealed in a "cocoon" and is therefore unaffected by hot exhaust air.

The cooling air can only exit through the equipment for which it is intended. All Aisle-Cocooning components such as overhead panels and aisle end doors are fixed to the cabinet bay structure alone and not connected to the room structure.
