Aisle Containment Series
Sealed aisles, skylights and doors that stop hot and cold air mixing.
The aisle containment series uses a 1,200 mm aisle, 2,000–2,200 mm frame height and 900 × 2,000 mm doors. Roof panels are tempered glass or polycarbonate, and the system supports 25–50 kW row cooling with leakage below about 5%.

RackSource supplies cold-aisle and hot-aisle containment with modular skylights, glass end doors, blanking panels and cable-entry seals. The frame is independent of the cabinets and can be installed before or after the racks.
Skylights can open automatically on fire alarm, and doors can be fitted with access control. Row-level air conditioners can be integrated into the same layout.
