Let's Learn About Leak Detection with nVent

Today we're discussing data centers. They are everywhere. They also emit an incredible amount of heat into their surrounding environments, which in turn requires active cooling.

Nobody has ever doubted that these facilities are designed skillfully and with security, leak detection and prevention in mind. Preventing downtime in data centers is typically a huge consideration, but leak detection? What exactly does it entail, and how are the two related?

Let's learn about leak detection with nVent. 

First, it's important to know that data rooms and data centers pose a wide variety of possible leaks such as:

• A/C cooling units

• Chilled water/ refrigerant piping

• Server racks with liquid cooling

• Plumbing and condensate lines

• Drains

• Sprinkler systems and other overhead piping

• Roof and window leaks

• Seepage from foundations in below ground spaces

• Remote communication rooms or closets

• Battery acid leaks

• Diesel fuel leaks near backup generators

In addition to this, according to nVent Raychem TraceTrek, "As data center sizes and computing power density have grown, the dependence on liquid cooled CRAC has likewise grown along with their added risk of liquid leaks."

Take this increased risk of leaks, plus higher demands for downtime prevention in data centers, and suddenly, leak detection comes a very important element to success.  

Fortunately, nVent provides products and solutions such as point sensors, cable sensors, leak detection monitoring units and more for preventing downtime in data centers.

Now that you know leaks can be easily identified before they cause serious problems or outages, you can be proactive this year by upgrading the leak detection technologies in your data center. Class dismissed.
