COLD AISLE CONTAINMENT · TR-mud
Seal the aisle, and the room stops cooling air it never needed.
Cooling energy versus a conventional room
On site, delivery to handover
TR-mud is a double-row sealed aisle with in-row cooling and sliding glass doors. It starts at 3 cabinets, expands to 8 and beyond along the same aisle line, and its saving is a comparison against a conventional uncontained room at the same IT load, explained mechanism by mechanism in our cooling-economics note. The third-party report on this page is a construction inspection — it does not measure energy.
CLAIM, THEN PROOF
What actually changes when the aisle is sealed
WHY WE SHOW THE REPORT FIRST
Four pages, from an external laboratory
The 25% figure is the claim a buyer should test hardest. It is a comparison against a conventional room, not a result measured in the containment report — that report covers construction and fire linkage. Both documents are four pages, in full, on request.

ON SITE
Two to three weeks, in this order
-
WEEK 1
Survey and drawing
Row length, aisle width and door positions are measured and drawn.
-
WEEK 1–2
Enclosure
Frame, roof panels and sliding glass doors are fitted to the row.
-
WEEK 2–3
Cooling and handover
In-row units are placed, the loop is commissioned, alarms are tested with your team.
Indicative split — the week boundaries move with site access and with the cooling-unit delivery date.
WHY IT SAVES
The loop, and why closing the roof matters
In a conventional room, cold supply air mixes with hot exhaust before it reaches the intakes. Closing the aisle separates the two: supply air stays inside the aisle, return air stays inside the row, and blanking panels close the gaps between equipment. That separation is the whole saving.
- Supply
- Delivered into the sealed aisle, not into the room
- Return
- Kept inside the cabinet row, back to the in-row unit
- Gaps
- Blanking panels close the empty U positions
- Roof
- Closed over the aisle, so cold air has nowhere else to go
