Precision Cooling systems with
Liebert iCOM
®
control are enhanced by Aisle
Containment from Emerson Network Power,
enabling dynamic optimization of the cooling
environment, and lower energy usage.
Problem:
In the thermographic view of a typical data
center, the problem with the traditional approach
in high density data centers is highlighted by the
numerous hot spots and wide variation in inlet
temperatures to the IT equipment.

Aisle Containment combined with Liebert precision
cooling with iCOM controls enables uniform temperature
effective cooling, and consistently hot return air for more
effective precision cooling system performance.
Without aisle containment, hot and cold air mix in
both the hot and cold aisles, making the cooling
system less effective and less energy efficient.
