Overview

Optimize your data center's cooling efficiency and energy performance with the nVent ProLine Containment System Sealing Tape (SKU: UACAST2IN). This premium, black foam sealing tape is engineered by nVent, a trusted leader in electrical containment and protection solutions, to address critical airflow management challenges within modern data environments. Designed for robust sealing applications, this tape effectively mitigates costly bypass airflow, a pervasive issue that significantly degrades the efficiency of cooling units and leads to wasted energy. Bypass airflow occurs when cool air supplied by your HVAC equipment bypasses the IT equipment and returns to the CRAC unit without effectively cooling the servers. This forces your cooling infrastructure to work harder, consuming more power and reducing its overall capacity. The nVent ProLine Sealing Tape provides a reliable barrier to prevent this inefficiency. Its high-quality foam construction conforms to irregular surfaces, creating a tight seal that directs conditioned air precisely where it's needed – through the IT equipment. This versatile sealing tape is ideal for a wide range of applications within a data center, including: * **Room Perimeter Sealing:** Ensure that conditioned air remains within the designated cooled space, preventing leakage into non-critical areas. * **Floor Openings:** Seal gaps around cable cutouts and other penetrations in raised floors to prevent air escape. * **Under Cabinet Sealing:** Prevent air from escaping from the bottom of server cabinets, maximizing the air directed upwards through the equipment. * **Between Racks:** Seal the gaps between adjacent server racks to prevent air mixing and ensure consistent airflow paths. * **Around CRAC Units:** Create a seal between CRAC units and the surrounding infrastructure to prevent air recirculation and optimize cooling delivery. The nVent ProLine Containment System Sealing Tape is constructed from durable foam material, ensuring long-lasting performance and resilience in demanding data center conditions. Its 8.50-foot length provides ample coverage for numerous sealing tasks, making it a cost-effective solution for improving cooling infrastructure performance. By implementing this sealing tape, data center operators can expect to see a significant reduction in energy consumption, an increase in usable cooling unit capacity, and a maximized overall efficiency from their HVAC equipment. This translates directly into lower operational costs and a more sustainable data center operation. Trust nVent's commitment to innovation and quality for your critical airflow management needs.

How to Install Acrycell Sealing Tape

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Acrycell Sealing Tape to effectively seal gaps between racks in a data center.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Scissors, Cutting blade

Supplies needed:

Acrycell Sealing Tape

  1. Prepare the surface

    Wipe the surface where the tape will be applied with a damp cloth, then dry it using a lint-free towel to ensure proper adhesion.

  2. Peel the adhesive backing

    Begin peeling the backing off the Acrycell Sealing Tape to reveal the adhesive side, ensuring to peel as you apply to prevent accidental adhesion to other surfaces.

  3. Apply the tape

    Press the adhesive side of the tape against one side of the gap while unrolling it, ensuring it is straight and secure. Cut the tape at the end of the gap to form a secure seal.

  4. Store remaining tape

    Any remaining tape should be stored under pressure to prevent premature expanding. Recommended storage includes shrink wrapping or securing the loose end with storage tape.

  5. Allow for expansion

    Allow the tape to fully expand, which may take 60-72 hours, especially in ambient temperatures below 70°F.
