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
Hanging Vertical Containment Panels
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
Hanging Vertical Containment Panels
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.

FIXED VERTICAL
CONTAINMENT PANELS
Cool Shield aisle containment panels
are a very attractive and efficient
method for managing the airflow in
hot aisle or cold aisle containment
applications. Our proprietary Cool
Shield channel is designed to tightly
frame the panels for a very effective
seal. Panel options (and fire ratings)
for our channel include twin-wall
polycarbonate (E84 Class 1), solid
polycarbonate (UL94), CPVC (FM
Global) and metal. Most are offered in
clear, translucent or opaque.
CoolShield
FIXED VERTICAL
CONTAINMENT PANELS
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
Configurations: Fixed Vertical Panels
Numerous brackets, gaskets, brushes and other accessories can
be combined to configure our aisle containment panel system to

CoolShield
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

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.

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
such as adding hinges, supports for cable trays, barrier panels, cross
bracing and much more. Cool Shield channel can be used between
posts to frame vertical panels or hang flexible strips.

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.

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.

BLANKING PANELS
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.
FEATURES• Available in 1U to 10U sizes
• Lightweight but rigid thermoplastic with exceptional fire rating
• Installs easily with snap-in clips for square or round mounting holes
• Available for both 19” and 23” rack mount widths
• Available in Black or White
MANUFACTURERS• Superior UL-94 V0 rating
• Snap-in clips for EIA universal mounting holes (square)
• Snap-in clips for telecommunication holes (round)

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
