    In all aisle-containment systems, a computer room air handler (CRAH) circulates chilled air through the aisles. These systems can be arranged in the following three ways: “ Cold-aisle ” containment, where cold air is introduced to the contained aisle and exits via the server racks to the. Due to the ever changing world of Data Centre cooling, there are a variety of approaches and air distribution methods found in today's Data Centre's. It's essential when designing a fire protection system that the key airflow paths and plenums are identified. Aisle containment creates an even and consistent supply intake temperature for data center equipment and electronics. A detector capable of very early warning protection from smoke and fire, such as FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sens-ing Technology, is ideal for protecting hot aisles and cold aisles as it combines.
