The Cool Shield AirStrip is an expanding foam tape designed to prevent unwanted air loss from gaps in contained aisles, server rack rows and data center infrastructure. Strips can be used above or below containment panels, next to rack rails, under server cabinets or in gaps in raised flooring. While advanced cooling systems like chilled water plants and CRAH units play a major role, one of the most effective strategies is much simpler: controlling how air moves through the data hall. This method raises the temperature of the air returning to a Computer Room Air Con itioner (CRAC) unit, which allows the unit to operate more eficiently. By sealing out moisture, the total available cooling can be more effectively used to cool the computer servers' heat load, which is 100% sensible (no moisture content).
