Abstract
The compression air seal for containing air between equipment racks and electronic modules is described incorporating a metal base having a slot opening and an inclined or tapered upper surface with respect to the lower surface, a double layer of elastomeric material having two hardness values one upon the other in enclosing the opening and a coating of low-friction material over the upper elastomeric material to facilitate low friction when an electronic module having a tapered surface is slid over and compresses the seal.
