Compatible with all Siemon data center cabinets deployed in a module configuration, the active cold aisle containment solution improves efficiency and expands the capacity of a data center without the need for additional cooling, while leveraging existing fire suppression systems.
Active aisle containment panels form a horizontal ceiling across the cold aisle. When used with self-closing or manual doors that seal off the aisle end, the cold air is contained within the aisle to provide targeted cooling to the active equipment. Electromagnets hold the active ceiling panels in place during normal operation and, in the event of an alarm, release the panels to allow them to open. These magnets operate on 24 VDC and are compatible with most standard power supplies deployed in data center environments. The power supply connects to the facility's fire alarm control panel or smoke detector output to ensure the panels open automatically during an alarm event.
