Types Of Secure Data Centre Caging

Features

• Decreased PUE

• Increased data centre cooling capacity

• Compatible with Data Centre VESDA & Inergen gas suppression systems

• Easily retrofitted and customized around pipe work, light fittings and sprinklers

• Allows for accurate cooling requirement forecasting

• Increased CRAC efficiencies by allowing for higher return air temperature post installation due to the reduction in dissipation between hot and cold airflows

• Smaller Carbon footprint

• Heavy reductions in energy costs

• Increased efficiency and reduced maintenance costs

• Prolong and extend the life of equipment by allowing them to operate at much more efficient and less taxing levels

• Lower chiller running costs

• Cool much higher heat loads per rack with much less power draw.

• Can dramatically reduce energy costs, minimize hotspots and improve the carbon footprint of data centres

• Can be used with or without conventional raised floor cooling. It is easily retrofit-ted into existing raised floor data centres and works in tandem with the raised floor as well as with extreme density cooling systems to produce highly efficient cooling solutions.

• Up to 20-30% reduction in chiller costs

• Consistently separates cold and warm areas without requiring structural changes to the data centre. A cold aisle retro fit can be implemented easily and quickly.

Utilizes Polycarbonate Sheeting & Aluminium F-Channel Extrusions to construct a passive heat barrier between the hot & cold aisles.The sheets are installed in the hot aisle of each rack & fixed into position (TOP & BOTTOM) using aluminium F-Channel Extrusion.The installation of conventional CRS RTHAC may be carried out concurrently with the deployment & installation of both single & double sliding glass/Perspex containment doors.

Utilising rotating panels CRS’s pivot panel containment allows the deployment of fire suppression, gases or liquids in the event of a fire in your data centre. Controlled by a electro-maglock & linked to the fire suppression system via BMS controls. The containment sytem is triggered by sensors inside the contained aisle. In the event of a fire, power to the electro-magnet is cut allowing the panels to open so that the fire suppression system can effectively extinguish the fire.

Designed for use underneath lighting and suppression systems this unique Hot and Cold Aisle Containment Solution is deployed horizontally across the aisles to create a tight containment barrier. The panels are made of an aluminium frame with a special translucent insert. The inserts are available in either a opaque or clear. The Drop Away Roof Panels make up a drop panel roof system which is deployed in the event of a fire. In the event of a fire the horizontal panels drop away from the channel housing when the temperature reaches 60 degrees. This allows the fire suppression system to deploy the suppression to the area under threat of damage caused by the fire. CRS can customize the sizes of the panels to suit any sized aisle configuration.

CRS manufactures, supplies and installs strut-framed metal pan ceiling systems for data centres, designed to deliver optimal operational flexibility and containment efficiency, and engineered to support other requirements, including cable management and fire suppression.

All ceiling tiles are manufactured from high-quality galvanneal sheet, preventing any risk of zinc whisker contamination, and ceiling tiles are finished by powder coating to specific colour requirements.

We deliver additional value through the customisation of ceiling tiles to include penetrations for mounting of other services, and can supply an extensive range of customised tiles for installation in specific locations across complete data centre areas, including cut-outs for recessed luminaires, which can deliver superior illumination results.

Penetrations for mounting a range of environmental BMS sensors can also be provided, reducing upfront procurement and installation costs, and providing an aesthetically superior solution.

Provided relevant information can be secured prior to final manufacture, we are happy to provide penetrations, and will take the lead in coordinating with other trades to confirm required sizes and location details.

CRS ceiling tiles are made from a single formed metal sheet to an engineered profile that enhances seal integrity and ready access removal. All ceiling tiles are manufactured from electro gal or equivalent sheet metal guaranteeing inherent corrosion resistance and prevention of zinc whiskers. Available in a range of nominal pan sizes such as 1200 x 600mm to suit all common grid configurations. CRS also provide a range of base sheet metal thickness including 0.7mm, 0.9mm and 1.2mm with powder coated finish to align with applicable differential pressures. Perimeter seals can also be provided where extremely high containment integrity is required.

CRS ceiling systems are sealed against air leakage into the ceiling plenum using a purpose designed self-adhesive foam seal strip. The foam strip is applied on all perimeter sides of the ceiling tile to ensure it seals effectively into the ceiling grid. Tape will overlap sufficiently at ends so that adequate seal density is achieved in corners.

To ensure the effectiveness of the ceiling across the full installation area, grid framing and ceiling tiles can be readily adpated as necessary to ensure the ceiling containment plane is preserved. Careful design consideration has been given to real world data centre applications and as such the CRS ceiling design allows for seamless integration around standard penetrations for the following;
• Environmental sensors
• Annunciators
• Fire detection & suppression
systems
• Cable trays & managers
• Light fittings etc
