The Science of Data Center Containment

Whether you’re implementing hot aisle or cold aisle containment, modular or legacy containment, or soft or hard containment, the overarching goal is to prevent the mixing of cold supply air with hot exhaust air. How effectively you do this does somewhat depend on the method that is used as well as what other airflow management initiatives are in place, however, when it comes to reaping the benefits in terms of cooling efficiency and cost savings, we first need to understand the underlying science.

Great video! I appreciate the clear explanation of the differences between the two types of containment.

Thanks for the information. Was extremely helpful in better understanding hot and cold aisle containment.
