Air containment systems designed to maximize cooling predictability, capacity, and efficiency
The APC Thermal
Containment products maximize the effectiveness of
InRow cooling solutions for low to high density
racked IT loads. Available in rack or aisle level
configurations, these products are designed to
completely separate the supply and return air paths
of the IT equipment. Ideal for any IT
environment, the air separation ensures the warmest
possible air is being returned to the InRow cooling
units, which further increases the efficiency,
capacity, and predictability of the cooling system.
Thermal containment is available for 300mm, 600mm,
750mm wide NetShelter Racks, UPS/PDU, and InRow
Cooling products. Front containment can also
be added to the rack configuration for additional
isolation and noise dampening.

Deployment of high
density loads in IT environments can create areas of
unpredictable cooling performance. APC's
Thermal Containment or Rack Air Containment is a
modular system designed to work in conjunction with
APC NetShelter SX enclosures and InRow cooling units
to provide maximum cooling predictability, capacity,
and efficiency. By attaching to the rear of the
NetShelter SX, air exhausted from IT equipment is
forced to pass through the cooling unit where it is
conditioned. This ensures that warm exhaust
air does not find its way back to the air inlets of
installed servers. N+1 and 2N configurations allow
for maximum availability.

APC Thermal Containment
High Density Cooling System
The APC Thermal Containment offers many benefits:
Availability:
- Cable access brush strip- Blocks air from
escaping through holes surrounding cabling.
- Redundancy Systems can be configured to
included an additional InRow cooling unit to
provide N+1 or 2N redundancy.
- Integrated pressure sensors- Pressure sensors
in the InRow cooling units provide fan speed
control for optimum system efficiency.
Convenience
- Noise dampening- Containment of both front
and rear provides reduction of noise caused by
installed equipment.
- Plexiglass door inserts- Provides required
air containment and a consistent look across the
racks while allowing visibility to installed IT
equipment.
- Easy to install- Innovative design allows for
fast, easy installation by almost anybody.
Agility:
- Ceiling tiles- Closes off the top of the hot
aisle to prevent warm air from mixing with room
air.
- One-way locking door- Secures the hot aisle
while allowing for quick exit in case of
emergency.
- Scaleable densities- Allows for higher
cooling to be achieved by integrating the Hot
Aisle Containment System with row-based
architecture.
- Modular design- Modular design provides
scalable solutions to add cooling as demand
increases.
Adaptability
- Modular design- Compatible with standard NetShelter SX racks, providing maximum system
flexibility and scalability.
- Front containment- Ensures cold supply air is
not captured by neighboring equipment.
- Rear containment- Ensures server exhaust air
is returned to the InRow cooling units for
maximum cooling predictability.
- One-way locking door- Secures the hot aisle
while allowing for quick exit in case of
emergency.
- Scaleable densities Allow higher density
cooling to be achieved by integrating the hot
aisle containment system with in-row
architecture.
- Modular design- Modular design provides
scalable solutions to add cooling as demand
increases.
Total Cost of Ownership
- Energy efficiency- Increases cooling capacity
of the associated air conditioners without
driving up power consumption.
