Configuration Options for the Elevate™ Solution:

Elevate™ Adjustable Containment Solution for Hot Aisle Containment connects two rows of cabinets to form a sealed hot aisle, channeling exhaust to the drop ceiling for efficient closed-loop cooling. Its telescoping panel adjusts easily to connect ZetaFrame® cabinets to the ceiling—no on-site modifications needed.

Elevate Row Level Configuration creates a sealed, overhead pathway to channel hot air from a single row of cabinets to the drop ceiling, forming an efficient closed return system. The telescoping two-piece panel connects the ZetaFrame® cabinet to the ceiling without on-site modifications.

Build To Spec (BTS) Kit

Build Around Your Existing Infrastructure

A highly adaptable, field-fabricated hot or cold aisle containment solution that installs over cabinets of varying sizes and works around architectural obstacles—ideal for retrofit deployments. Easily add, remove, or omit cabinets as needed.

Vertical Exhaust Duct (VED) For ZetaFrame® Cabinet

Cabinet-Level Containment for Peak Performance

Captures and directs hot exhaust air into the overhead plenum—keeping it fully contained and isolated from the room’s cool supply air. With easy height adjustment, it’s ideal for hybrid cooling strategies and retrofit projects that need better airflow control without the need for full containment infrastructure.

Cold Aisle Containment (CAC)

Ideal for retrofit sites with low ceilings, it integrates with perimeter cooling and simplifies containment in small to mid-sized data centers.

Comparing Aisle Containment Solutions

Choose the right solution based on application type, airflow strategy, and installation needs.

Add Air Containment and Liquid Cooling to Your Cabinet

Unlock the Full Potential of Liquid Cooling

Chatsworth Products' can be preconfigured with precision airflow management and two-phase, direct-to-chip, waterless liquid cooling from ZutaCore®.

With this hybrid cooling approach, direct-to-chip liquid cooling targets the hottest components, while optimized airflow manages residual heat for high efficiency, scalable solution.

Hostirian Cold Aisle Containment Reduces Power Consumption and Boosts Company Morale

Soon after transforming 4,500 square feet of office space into a new Cold Aisle Containment (CAC) Solution by Chatsworth Products (CPI), colocation provider, Hostirian, set a date to begin moving customers into their new environment. One of the first customers located in Hostirian’s legacy data center was deployed in open racks without an airflow strategy. They were integrated into the new contained environment late on a Friday night in September 2012. By early Saturday morning, that same customer, operating the identical IT load and equipment, was using 50 percent less power. From there, a new company initiative was born.
