MKLS-FS-CA-SYST1 Minkels VARICON Free Standing Cold Aisle System

Minkels Free Standing Cold Aisle System

Description:

Minkels Free Standing Cold Corridor Minkels has expanded its product portfolio with the Free Standing Cold Corridor®, an ultra-modular and cost efficient, free standing aisle containment system. This free standing system offers pay-as- out-grow options for separating warm and cold air flows in an energy efficient manner, enabling investments in racks to be spread out over time. All modular product options for the Next Generation Cold Corridor® introduced last year can be integrated. The Minkels Free Standing Cold Corridor® is a fully free standing aisle containment system that – contrary to common use in the data centre market – can be used to create closed corridors independently from the IT racks. The Free Standing Cold Corridor provides the same energy efficiency immediately upon implementation as a standard Cold Corridor system with IT racks. The system, a modular design comprised only of a support structure, wall panels, roofing and doors, offers corporate and commercial data centres a cost-efficient “pay-as-you-grow” solution so that they can create energy efficiency with very little initial investment costs (CAPEX). The Free Standing Cold Corridor also provides far reaching flexibility when it comes to installing racks and equipment like storage and network systems. Different types and sizes of racks can be adapted to the design, so that users have the freedom to customise the Cold Corridor system to their varying and dynamic data centre needs over time. Note that the purpose of the racks is not to support the Free Standing Cold Corridor system.

Features:

ADD-ON MODULES AND RETROFIT APPLICATION The Minkels Free Standing Cold Corridor® system is compatible with the Minkels Next Generation Cold Corridor®. The main benefit is that all modules of the Next Generation Cold Corridor can be seamlessly integrated with the Free Standing Cold Corridor.
Choices include:
- Highly translucent or pivot roofing system
- Sliding panel doors - can be operated mechanically or electronically
- Air flow optimisation - to increase energy efficiency
- Data centre monitoring - with plug & play integration of monitoring sensors
- Access security - both mechanically and electronically
- Fireproofing - for compatibility with a variety of fire extinguishing systems
The Free Standing Cold Corridor is also ideal for so-called retrofit situations, such as an existing data centre environment that requires an energy efficient aisle containment system without any risk to the operational continuity of the data centre.
