Analyzing the effects of aisle capping in the server room!
In server rooms and data centers, there are many servers and IT equipment, and heat management is essential for their stable operation. As a countermeasure, the exhaust fans on the back of the server racks are positioned to face each other, creating a pathway (hereinafter referred to as the hot aisle) that primarily directs exhaust from the racks upward. Conversely, the intake sides at the front of the server racks are also positioned to face each other, creating a pathway (hereinafter referred to as the cold aisle) that primarily introduces cool air from the floor into the server racks. This arrangement allows for efficient exhaust. However, at the top of the server racks, there is a risk of drawing in high-temperature exhaust from the equipment (short-circuiting), so we considered countermeasures and conducted a comparison based on the presence or absence of a partition (hereinafter referred to as aisle capping) at the top of the cold aisle.

basic information
【Analysis Model and Conditions】 - The size of the analysis model is 23m × 16m × 3.8m, with a grid count of 425,375. - The interior features a raised floor, with 8 air conditioning units installed. - Server racks are arranged to form hot aisles and cold aisles. - The heat generation condition is solely from the servers, with a total heat output of 440,000W. - The air conditioning method involves blowing cold air from the bottom of the air conditioning units under the floor and sucking air in from the top of the units. - The total airflow is 160,000m3/h, with a discharge temperature of 17°C and a set room temperature of 24°C. 【Analysis Results】 - It was observed that the air conditioning air from under the floor is supplied to the racks from the cold aisle side and exhausted to the hot aisle side. - Without cold aisle containment, there are high-temperature areas above the server racks. - With cold aisle containment, there is no short-circuiting above the servers. - Cold aisle containment can prevent short-circuiting. - Cold aisle containment allows for the maintenance of temperature within the cold aisle. → Cold aisle containment is effective in suppressing temperature rise above the server racks. ● For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
