Magnetic Cabinet Skirt
Data center managers who are serious about maximizing their cooling efficiency know that using blanking panels in unused rack spaces is critical for aisle containment. An overlooked critical step is sealing the space under server cabinets. Data centers that incorporate hot and cold aisle containment have pressure differentials between the aisles. This pressure can cause the gap below server cabinets to become a strong air stream between the hot and cold aisles. This rush of air mixes the supply and return air which reduces the effectiveness of a containment solution

FloorGuard Cable Seal
Rubberized Floor Cable seals to prevent air leakage through raised floor tiles. The Cool Shield FloorGuard Cable Seal is a low-cost yet highly effective approach to sealing cable cut-outs and other openings in raised floors. Cable cut-outs in raised floor are almost always in areas where it is unproductive to provide cooling. The process of sealing these holes can prevent wasting thousands of dollars in energy costs. Consider a typical 55,000 square foot data center with 80 unsealed cable openings. The air loss from those openings is equivalent to the capacity of a 50-ton cooling unit.

Foam Gap Seal
Expanding Foam Gap Fill Seal Strips Prevent Mixing Supply and Exhaust Air. Cool Shield Air Foam Gap Seal fill strips fill unwanted gaps to maximize the effectiveness of aisle containment applications. These expanding foam strips can be used for gaps in cabinet rows, below server cabinets, above containment panels or anywhere where there is unwanted air leakage.

Filler Panels
Adjustable filler panels fill gap between containment and server cabinet tops. Over the past few years there has been a transition in aisle containment solutions from vertical strips to panel-based solutions. One challenge of a panel-based system is accommodating multiple heights of server cabinets. A panel system is typically sized to the height of the tallest server cabinets in the aisle. This results in gaps between the containment system and shorter racks. To realize the benefits of containment, these gaps need to be filled with filler panels to prevent air leakage.

Adhesive Temperature Strips
Color coded adhesive temperature strips for at-a-glance identification of thermal issues. The Cool Shield color coded adhesive temperature strips are a unique and effective way to monitor temperature in your server cabinet rows. The numbers are color activated to provide a clear warning that the temperature is outside the ASHRAE recommended range. The temperature will display red if the temperature rises above 81 degrees and will display blue below 64 degrees. The more extreme the temperature, the larger the warning displayed. For example, if the temperature is 95 degrees, all “hot zone” numbers starting at 81 will display red. This allows for easy identification of trouble spots walking down the aisle.
