AirBlock Curtains and Strip Doors Are the Ideal Data Center Product

Data center managers across the county are discovering that AirBlock curtains and strip doors are ideal for use in computer data centers where hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment is important. Hot-aisle /cold-aisle design is the data center best practice where server racks are lined up in alternating rows with cold-air intakes all facing one aisle and hot-air exhausts facing the other. Cool air is vented into the cold air aisles, directed through the computer racks, and into the warm air aisles.

By further separating the hot and cold air aisles with AirBlock curtains and strip doors, managers can effectively separate cold air aisles from warm air aisles, directing cool air where it is needed most in the data center: through the computer racks. Additionally, a study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory finds facilities that use curtains or partitions to direct airflow in data centers "can save energy on both air conditioning and fan systems - 15% and 67%, respectively."
