Flexible Strip Walls
Flexible containment strip walls fill gaps in caused by missing cabinets or entire rows.
Most data centers do not have aisles with perfectly uniform rows of cabinets. For an existing data center that has evolved over time or even a new build out, it is rare that all potential positions are filled.
Missing cabinets, whether it is just one or an entire row can compromise the effectiveness of an aisle containment solution.
It is imperative that these gaps are filled, even if it is only a temporary situation. Flexible strips prove to be an excellent choice for this application. They are easy to install, cost effective and can be easily removed or cut when a cabinet is eventually deployed.
Cool Shield‘s flexible strip walls can be attached to the ceiling or to the lower channel of a panel or strip. Cool Shield features a removable strip mounting bracket, sized to the width of a server cabinet, which can be removed from our channel in seconds. Alternatively, the strips can be mounted directly to the channel or with a fusible or electromagnetic release.
