  • Patent number: 10238008
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides advantageous containment systems configured to be deployed in a data center, and improved methods/systems for using the same. The present disclosure provides light-weight, user-friendly and modular containment systems configured to be adjustably deployed in a horizontal or vertical orientation on the hot or cold aisle in a data center. The containment systems of the present disclosure can be deployed in a horizontal and/or vertical application and can be used on the cold or hot aisle. The containment systems of the present disclosure can be: (i) mounted to cabinets through bracketry; (ii) suspended overhead from the building infrastructure via threaded rod or the like; (iii) supported by overhead pathways (e.g., attached or mounted to cable/wire baskets, cable ladders, troughs, etc.); and/or (iv) secured from the floor (e.g., via post-like objects or structures or the like).

  • Patent number: 8327598
    Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to a modular blocking panel system for a rack. The modular blocking panel system consists of multiple standardized panels which snap-together, or slidably attach to one another, in order to fill openings of any size in a rack. The panels connect to one another so that there is a seal at the junction between the panels. The seal blocks hot air in the interior of the rack from seeping through the panels and mixing with the cold air supply on the exterior of the panels. Multiple panels can be combined to create a single modular panel to cover any sized opening.
