The rapid growth of digital technologies, cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) is driving an increasing demand for data processing and storage capacities. As data centers expand to meet these requirements, improving Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) and ensuring reliable cooling systems are becoming more important than ever.

Keeping servers at optimal operating temperatures requires effective airflow management. Separating hot and cold air zones is essential to improving cooling efficiency, reducing energy consumption and maintaining reliable operating conditions. 

This is where Exolon® polycarbonate multiwall sheets come into play.

Lightweight, durable and thermally insulating, Exolon multiwall sheets provide an efficient solution for Cold Aisle Containment (CAC) and Hot Aisle Containment (HAC), supporting optimized1 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) performance and long-term operational reliability.

Applications in Data Centers

• Cold Aisle Containment (CAC): Separation of cold supply air to maintain controlled cooling zones.
• Hot Aisle Containment (HAC): Containment of hot exhaust air to prevent mixing with cold air.
• Vertical Partitions: Lightweight, robust panels for separating temperature-controlled zones.
• Horizontal Containment Panels: Stable, lightweight sheets for overhead containment structures.

Key Benefits of Exolon® multiwall sheets:

• Improved Thermal Insulation: Optimized multiwall geometries provide enhanced thermal performance, with selected structures offering approximately 15% better insulation compared to conventional twin-wall sheets.
  Supporting Energy Efficiency and PUE Optimization:
• Supporting Energy Efficiency and PUE Optimization: Effective separation of hot and cold airflows can improve cooling efficiency, reduce cooling-related energy demand and contribute to better Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
• Lightweight and Durable: High stiffness combined with low weight facilitates handling and installation for both horizontal and vertical installations.
• Fire Classification: Selected Exolon polycarbonate multiwall sheets achieve B-s1,d0 according to EN 13501-1 and Class A according to ASTM E84.
• Long-Term Cost Efficiency: Durable, low-maintenance construction supporting optimized total cost of ownership.
• ECORANGE ECOplus version: All Exolon polycarbonate multiwall sheets can be offered in an ECOplus version using renewable rather than fossil based raw materials monitored by ISCCplus, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of data center projects.
