Containment Fixed Ceiling Panels

Containment Fixed Ceiling Panels are an excellent solution for cold aisle containment (CAC), especially if there are high ceilings and/or over cabinet obstructions. The panels span across the tops of the cabinets to isolate the supply air in the cold aisle allowing for high efficiency cooling. Typically, a major challenge with ceiling panels is obstructing the fire suppression release. Cool Shield features several solutions for accommodating this including melt away panels, fusible links and electromagnetic releases. All of our lightweight panels are clear for high light transmission and feature the highest fire ratings in the industry.

Cool Shield offers a melt away ceiling panel solution. These clear panels are heat sensitive and will shrink away to fall harmlessly out of the way once the temperature reaches 135F degrees. The panels are so lightweight that they pose no injury hazard for anyone in the aisle if they do fall out.

Another option is to use a more rigid hinged panel system to span the contained aisle. Two clear hinged panels are joined together by fusible link or by an electronically controlled magnet. Fusible links will separate at a UL rated temperature causing the panels to swing down into the contained aisle. The electronically controlled magnets receive their power from easy to install 4-pin cables. These cables from each magnet within a fire suppression zone will aggregate together in a distribution box which will then be connected to a relay in the fire control panel. A fire or smoke event will cut power to magnets and the panels will release.
