Closed cold corridor is the fundamental concept of airflow control. The space in front of the racks is closed by roof panels. Cooled air flows only into enclosed area – either from the perforated floor tiles or directly from the row based cooling units. The air subsequently passes through the IT devices, cools them and absorbs the heat. Hot air exists into the room, where it is sucked by central cooling or row based cooling units, and is cooled again.
