Hot Aisle Containment Application Guidelines and Approved Configurations

The Hot Aisle Containment System (HACS) is a modular ceiling panel and door system for use in isolating the supply and return air between an APC NetShelter rack and an APC InRow cooling solution. The containment system is designed to create a separate environment for air distribution in order to prevent mixing of hot and cold air streams, resulting in a more predictable cooling pattern. The modular design and ability to retrofit to an existing Netshelter rack enables medium to high density racks to be cooled in an autonomous environment without overcooling the room.
