Custom Engineered Aisle Containment Solutions

High-quality hot- and cold-aisle containment systems designed to maximize data center efficiency and thermal performance!

02

Hot Aisle Containment (HAC)

Sintel’s HAC systems isolate the hot exhaust air, directing it into a return plenum to prevent mixing with the ambient room air. This creates a highly efficient "chimney effect" that lowers cooling costs and increases the lifespan of your IT equipment.

 

Vertical Partition Panels: Custom-sized to close the gap between the rack top and the ceiling.

Universal Mounting: Brackets designed to fit virtually any rack manufacturer’s footprint.

Thermal Gasketing: High-seal gaskets ensure zero air leakage at the rack-to-ceiling interface.

Cold Aisle Containment (CAC)

Ideal for high-density environments, our CAC solutions "cap" the cold aisle. This ensures that every CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) of chilled air is delivered directly to the server intakes rather than escaping into the room.

 

Aisle-Top Ceiling Panels: Available in rigid metal frames with clear or translucent inserts for maximum light penetration.

End-of-Row Door Kits: Precision-engineered sliding or swing doors with soft-close technology and custom locking options.

Modular Adjustability: Telescoping components allow for easy adjustment to accommodate varying rack heights.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • Hot aisle containment captures and directs server exhaust air back to the cooling system, preventing it from mixing with cold supply air. Cold-aisle containment encloses the cold-air supply, ensuring that only servers are cooled.
    Sintel supports both approaches and helps determine the best configuration based on airflow design, rack layout, and cooling strategy.

  • Yes, Sintel specializes in fully custom-engineered aisle containment systems. Heights, widths, depths, panel designs, door types, and material finishes are all fabricated to your exact specifications.

  • Absolutely! Sintel frequently designs containment solutions for existing data centers, accounting for legacy rack layouts, ceiling constraints, fire suppression systems, and cable pathways. Our engineering-led approach minimizes disruption while maximizing cooling performance.

  • Sintel primarily fabricates aisle containment components using precision-formed sheet metal and tube steel, along with transparent or solid panels as required.

  • Yes, Sintel’s aisle containment solutions are designed to support high-density racks and scalable growth. Our custom fabrication capabilities ensure containment systems can evolve as server loads, cooling strategies, and facility requirements change.

  • Sintel provides engineering collaboration, design-for-manufacturability (DFM), and design-for-installation (DFI) support. We work closely with data center operators, OEMs, and integrators to ensure each containment system is optimized from concept through fabrication.

  • All aisle containment components are manufactured using advanced metal fabrication processes, rigorous quality controls, and decades of experience serving IT and mission-critical industries.

  • As server densities increase, traditional cooling methods struggle to keep up. Aisle containment ensures conditioned air reaches equipment intakes efficiently, reduces hot spots, lowers cooling costs, and improves overall system reliability.
