Hanging Vertical Containment Panels

The Cool Shield Hanging Containment

Panel solution is designed to be

versatile, cost-effective and easy

to install. The frameless hanging

panels can be installed quickly to

provide vertical hot or cold aisle

containment. The clear, lightweight

panels effectively manage airflow by

separating cool supply air from hot

exhaust air to significantly improve

cooling efficiency. Panels can be

sized individually based on server

cabinet heights. Optional connector

clips and brush strips can be added

to panels to prevent gaps between

panels or cabinet tops. The result is a

highly functional vertical containment

solution which installs in minutes.

CoolShield


There are three primary components

to the Hanging Containment Panel

solution. The versatile Mounting

Header features a combination of

slotted and threaded channels to

allow mounting to a drop ceiling, strut

grid, steel decking or beam, cable

trays or nearly any fixed support.

The bottom of the header features a

large rectangular hollowed channel

which is sized to perfectly accept the

Panel Clamp Bracket. This bracket is

designed to secure a Vertical Panel

which spans from the top of cabinet

to bottom of mounting channel.

An optional set-screw can provide

additional fastening of the panel.

CoolShield

FEATURES• Panels install and re-install easily

• Quickly and easily resize panels if cabinet sizes change

• Mounts to nearly any fixed surface or support

• Panels affix to bracket without tools

• Optional clips and brushes for enhanced sealing

SPECIFICATIONS• 6063-T5 Aluminum mounting brackets

• 6mm clear panel inserts are ASTM E 84 Class A rated

• NFPA 75 compliant materials

• Light weight system is less than 2 lbs per linear foot

• Brackets anodized in silver or black with custom colors available


Install in MinutesThe hanging panel system is very easy to install and un-install which makes

them well suited for dynamic sites with a variety of cabinet sizes. The connector at

the top of the Panel Clamp Bracket is designed to fit into the slotted channel in the

upper support bar when the panel is at a slight angle. Once inside, the panel will

drop tightly into place when returned to the vertical position. To remove the panels,

lift the bottom of the lightweight panel to a slight angle position to disengage.

The vertical panels can extend beyond the clamp bracket without compromising

air seal. This means that it is not necessary to cut the metal brackets when

retrofitting panels. The vertical panels can be easily cut vertically or horizontally

if cabinets sizes change. Removable clips hold panels together at the bottom

to prevent separation due to air pressure. Detachable brush strips can be mounted

to bottom of panels for seal at top of cabinet.

Most customers prefer that the aisle

containment system does not attach

to their server cabinets so they can

move cabinets in or out as needed.

The Cool Shield channel features

threaded slots which can accept

standard screws. This allows for

great versatility in mounting our

system to nearly any existing

support including strut, beams,

joists or even concrete ceiling.

CoolShield

FIXED VERTICAL CONTAINMENT PANELS

SLIDING VERTICAL

CONTAINMENT PANELS

The Cool Shield Sliding Vertical Panels

is designed to provide the exceptional

sealing capabilities and high

aesthetics of a solid panel solution

without restricting access to the

cables behind the containment panels.

In certain applications, a vertical panel

containment solution can virtually

block access to cable tray, power

cords or other critical components.

Our sliding panel solution eliminates

that issue. Since we can frame two

overlapping panels, a technician can

simply slide one of the panels over to

reach through the containment area.

Once work is complete, the panel can

be returned to the closed position for

full containment.

CoolShield

SLIDING VERTICAL

CONTAINMENT PANELS

Similar to a patio door in your home,

two panels share a single frame and

have a slight overlap in the middle.

Each panel can be slid over to fully

overlap with the other panel. Our Cool

Shield Double Channel features two

parallel grooves so that each panel is

fully framed in its own separate track.

The sliding panels themselves feature

a rigid aluminum frame with twin-

wall polycarbonate inserts. We utilize

a high-performance thermoplastic

runner along the bottom to ensure

smooth and easy sliding action.

CoolShield

SLIDING VERTICAL CONTAINMENT PANELS

Sliding Panels Allow Easy Access To Cables

The Cool Shield Double Channel, like all of our channels, can be

supported in numerous ways. It can connect to our self-supporting

Matrix posts or it can be suspended from ceiling, strut, threaded

rod, cable tray or nearly any other existing support. It is also typically

affixed to one of our door systems to provide a highly rigid integrated

CoolShield

CEILING THERMAL

DROP PANELS

The Cool Shield Ceiling Thermal

Drop Panels feature clear inserts

which feature a melt point which is

below that of most fire suppressions

systems. If there is an extreme

temperature event, the feather-weight

panels will shrink and fall harmlessly

out of the way before a discharge

of the fire suppression system. The

panels are UL listed and are intended

to be used when the fire suppression

heads are located above the aisle

containment area. A light-weight but

durable 2” wide aluminum channel

frames the panel inserts for rigidity.

These framed panels span across

the cold aisle to seal in the cool air

provided by the cooling units.

This approach allows customers to

save 25 to 40% on cooling costs.

CoolShield

CEILING THERMAL

DROP PANELS

The framed panels rest on a perimeter

of the Cool Shield Channel which is

installed on the tops of the server

cabinets. A gasket is used between

the cabinet and channel to prevent

rattling or scratching. The channel

does not need to be fastened to the

cabinet. A catch plate is installed on

the outside edge of the channel on

both sides of the aisle so that the

panels are held in place and cannot

accidently fall into the aisle. A brush

strip along one side of the panel frame

ensures a tight air seal along gaps.

CoolShield

CEILING THERMAL DROP PANELS

Removable and Replaceable

Individual framed panels can be easily removed if it becomes

necessary to access lights, cables or other object above the

contained space. Panels can be sized to accommodate aisle widths

ranging from 24” to 96”. Panels are pre-assembled at the factory to

the required dimension and shipped on-site for quick installation.

Frames are available in standard colors of black and silver with

custom color choices available.

SELF SUPPORTED

CONTAINMENT

Cool Shield Matrix Posts provide

the cornerstone foundation for a

variety of aisle containment functions.

The heavy-duty octagon shaped

posts support fixed or sliding

vertical panels, flexible strips,

ceiling panels, cable trays and

hinged doors. This incredible

versatility allows for containing nearly

any aisle, including ones with very

high ceilings or other challenges.

CoolShield

SELF SUPPORTED

CONTAINMENT

The sturdy posts support the upper

containment to eliminate the need

to provide support from the server

cabinets or from the ceiling. Shorter

aisles (16 feet or less) only need posts

at the end of the aisle. Longer aisles

may need additional support posts

within the rows. The vertical supports

at the end of the row can double as

the frame for single or double hinged

doors resulting in an efficient and

cost-effective solution.

CoolShield

SELF SUPPORTED CONTAINMENT

Heavy-Duty Vertical Posts Support The Above Cabinet Containment,

Eliminating The Need For Mounting To Cabinets Or Ceiling.

The Matrix Posts feature eight sides, with threads for attaching

screws to each of the sides. This allows for exceptional functionality

FLEXIBLE STRIP

CURTAINS

Thick PVC strips were the first material

used for aisle containment in the data

center. They were inexpensive, easy

to cut to adjust to obstacles and were

very effective. However, fire rating

and outgassing concerns have forced

a shift to thinner, higher rated strip.

The problem was that these lighter

strips were less effective because

they easily separated when faced

with air pressure. The Cool Shield

Flexible Overlapping Strip Curtains

solution maintains all the benefits of

using vertical strips while improving

containment effectiveness.

CoolShield

FLEXIBLE STRIP

CURTAINS

Strips are supported with our Cool

Shield channel. The channel can be

attached directly to drop ceiling,

unistrut, cable tray, or nearly any

exisiting structure. The strips are

typically overlapped by 2-4” to

prevent air leakage. Overlapped strips

can be secured together to prevent

potential separation caused by air

pressure. Strips can also be affixed

to cabinet with magnetic or

interlocking strips.

CoolShield

FLEXIBLE STRIP CURTAINS

The Most Versatile Overlapping Strip Curtains Solution

For Data Center Aisle Containment.

Flexible strips can also be used for the aisle entryway. Weights can be

applied to bottom of strips to prevent flapping and separation near

perforated tiles due to air flow. This cost effective solution allows

easy access to aisles and provides practical containment.

Individual Blanking Panels Fill 1U To 10U Spaces In Server Cabinet

A critical but often overlooked component to separating supply and

exhaust airflows in the data center is filling empty RU spaces in server

cabinets. Some data center managers spend large amounts of time

and money on advanced air flow management solutions such as aisle

containment and variable speed fans but often fail to fill the empty

spaces in server cabinets. It is even common to see completely

empty server cabinets within a contained aisle.

FOAM AIR STRIP BLANKING PANELS

Foam Airstrip Panels 9U Scored In 1U Increments Install

With No Clips, Screws Or Hardware.

The Cool Shield Foam Airstrip Panels are an innovative, multi-purpose

solution for sealing open spaces in and around server cabinets.

Filling blank spaces and gaps prevents air mixing between supply

and exhaust air within the cabinet. This improves cooling efficiency

in cold aisle/hot aisle layouts and can be critical to the effectiveness

of aisle containment.

FEATURES• Perforated into strips to easily tear away as needed

• 99.9% air-tight material seals all gaps in and around cabinet

• BP panels in (9) 1U fused strips for easy install blanking panels

• No clips, screws, cage nuts or hardware needed to install

• Seal unused RU spaces, gaps next rails, between cabinets, below cabinets and more

MANUFACTURERS• Superior UL-94 V0 rating

• Panel size: 15.9”H x 19.5”W x 1.5”D

EXPANDING FOAM GAP SEAL TAPE

Seal Strips Prevent Mixing Supply And Exhaust Air.

Filling unwanted gaps prevents cool supply air from mixing with hot

exhaust air. This will minimize costly bypass airflow to maximize the

capacity and efficiency from HVAC equipment. The self-expanding

foam gap seal tape is safe for the data center and ensures a durable

secure seal between racks/ enclosures and HAC systems.

Time-release expansion allows easy product installation without disturbing

cables or other critical items within the data center. Will conform around

cables or other non-uniform spaces when completely expanded.

FEATURES• Several sizes available to fill opening 1/4” inch to 1” inch gaps.

• Fill gaps in containment or around server cabinets

• Strong adhesive for lasting connection

• Flame retardant

• Pre-compressed to slowly expand until gap is fully sealed

SPECIFICATIONS• Black Polyurethane foam with acrylate dispersion impregnation

• Heat resistance -40°F – 194°F (-30°C – 90°C)

• Material Compatibility No bleeding, no corrosion, no staining, no discoloration

• Compression force ASTM D3574/ISO 3386

• Air Tightness ASTM E 283 0.08 cfm/ft (1.57 psf) 0.33 cfm/ft (6.25 psf)

bulk quantities. This allows us to fulfill

the majority of our orders from stock

resulting in lead times often less than

one week. Larger projects which

require new fabrication of materials will

require a lead time of four to six weeks.

For customers with standard

repeatable configurations, we have

the ability to stock all required

components to allow quick shipment.

This allows customers with dynamic
