QDS has sucessfully deploy another retro-fitted data centre cold asile containment project. In this data centre, we deploy a full cold aisle containment completed with rack cap, aisle-end sliding door, airblock panels, Simplex Airblock Curtains and HotLok blanking panels.
The project was performed in a live data centre, and no down-time was required. This project consist of a total of 6 cold aisles.

Results
We were able to increase the Hot Aisle temperature significantly.
Why is increasing the hot aisle temperature good? Here I quote Kenneth G. Brill, executive director of the Uptime Institue.
For maximum cooling efficiency, the hot aisle should be uncomfortably hot. The temperature difference between the cold and hot aisle is a very simple diagnostic. Have measurements made of cold aisle and hot aisle temperatures. A difference of at least 10°F is desirable. A small difference indicates significant air mixing, reduces cooling capacity and efficiency.
