Abstract

This field study describes a hot aisle containment (HAC) system for a data center was built in a short amount of time with limited skill, materials and budget. This was done that the air being drawn into the servers and then exhausted out would not be able to mix with the chilled air before being taken to the air return. Thus, the room reaching near 26.5°C (80°F) making the room an uncomfortable work environment. The results show after the HAC was built, a decrease in room temperature dropped by 7% within minutes and within three day s temperature decreased by 17%.
