Apc Rack Air Containment System

Hot and cold air containment systems designed to maximize cooling predictability capacity and efficiency at the rack row or room level.

Apc rack air containment system.

Apc application note 90 rack air containment application guidelines and approved configurations by kevin dunlapabstractthe rack air containment system racs is a modular front and rear plenum for use in isolating the supply and return airbetween an apc netshelter sx rack enclosure and an apc inrow cooling unit. The hot aisle containment system encloses a hot aisle to collect and cool equipment exhaust making it available for cool air intakes. The ecoaisle is an intelligent thermal containment solution designed to increase cooling system efficiency while protecting critical it equipment and personnel. Mixing of hot and cold air streams in the data center lowers availability of it equipment.

The containment system is designed to create a separate environment for air distribution in order to prevent mixing of hot and cold air streams resulting in a more predictable cooling pattern. By containing the hot aisle the hot and cold air streams are separated. The rack air containment system racs is a mechanical ducting system that attaches to the front or rear of an enclosure to provide increased cooling capacity. The apc rack air distribution unit is a 2u fan unit that works with an existing precision air conditioning system to deliver cool air to the equipment contained in a rack enclosure.

This prevents the conditioned. The rack air distribution unit is a 2u fan unit that connects into the raised floor and pulls supply air directly into the enclosure. Rack air distribution unit 2u 208 230v 50 60hz. The racs is a modular system that works with apc netshelter sx enclosures and inrow cooling units to provide maximum cooling predictability capacity and efficiency.

The hot aisle containment system can be built using new american power conversion apc equipment or with existing apc. This creates a self contained system capable of supporting high density power loads. The apc hot aisle containment system hacs is a row based containment system for high density designed to maximize in row cooling predictability capacity and efficiency. The rack air distribution unit connects into the raised floor and pulls supply air directly into the enclosure.

The modular design and ability to retrofit to an existing netshelter sx rack enables medium to high density racks to be cooled in an autonomous. A hot aisle containment system hacs encloses the hot aisle to collect the it equipment s hot exhaust air allowing the rest of the data center to become a large cold air return plenum.
