What should be used to seal the cold aisle in the computer room
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).

Installation of doors in the cold aisle of the computer room
Cold aisle containment systems use doors at aisle ends, ceiling panels or lids above racks, and structural frames to create enclosed zones where cold supply air flows directly to IT equipment intakes. 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. With 35 years of operational experience, EDP designs, manufactures, and installs bespoke aisle containment systems that improve airflow management in Data Centre environments for retrofit, new build, and hyper-scale projects. The one-tool design allows for quick and easy installation, removal, and re-installation with exclusive Magswitch® technology — no drilling required.
