Help Prevent Downtime and Reduce Costs Data centers continue to be vital to daily operations. The demand for information is high, and businesses thrive on data and internet. Data center cooling is essential and prevents costly downtime and premature equipment failures. Measuring and monitoring data center airflow and temperature is also essential to ensure cooling […]
Infection prevention and control (IPC) measures to protect personnel, patients and visitors are well-established by laboratories, clean rooms and multitudes of other public and private entities. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and ASHRAE COVID-19 guidance, many are upgrading engineering controls for their facilities and refining strategies to remove hazards through air ventilation. Environmental Health and […]
CFD Modeling Validation Validation of CFD modeling with air velocity, temperature, and humidity sensors from Degree Controls ensures prediction quality. HVAC and ventilation systems can vary widely, and airflow sensor placement strategy varies by application. Degree Controls offers a variety of airflow tools that are used by our clients to collect quantitative information. Examples include: […]
Better Cooling and Cost Savings Data centers need sufficient cool air, and data center performance is more efficient and reliable with balanced cooling. The portable °C Grate airflow measurement tool is specifically designed for quickly testing airflow rates over perforated floor tiles in data centers, office spaces and laboratory environments. °C Grate provides accuracy to […]
Hospitals and health care facilities recognize the importance of protecting patients, workers, and patrons from hazards. They evaluate their ventilation systems on an ongoing basis, and work continuously to make systems and engineering controls better for improved health and safety. Healthcare organizations are installing room-based pressure monitors in all types of functional areas to further […]
Embedded Sensing Provides Benefits High performance electronics are increasingly being developed with built-in air velocity sensing to improve reliability, warn the user of a use-case or environmental issues, and to allow the OEM to track airflow starvation events that could mitigate product failure liabilities. DegreeC has developed cost effective and small form factor approaches to […]
Measuring Air Velocity & Analyzing Air Patterns for Safety We are not alone in our support of the use of airflow management tools for engineering controls, as well as airflow visualization products to verify airflow patterns and identify turbulence in indoor environments such as restaurants, classrooms, and manufacturing facilities. FDA guidance discusses the importance of clean areas for drug product quality […]
The AI Infrastructure Boom Is Changing Thermal Management Today’s AI servers utilize high-density GPUs that generate significantly more heat and create dynamic thermal conditions throughout the data center. As operators deploy AI clusters, power densities are increasing, making airflow management a critical component of infrastructure reliability. Hotspots that might have been manageable in previous generations […]
Do you need a reliable Fume Hood Alarm that easily installs on your existing fume hood or biosafety cabinet? There are a lot of different brands and types of fume hoods and biosafety cabinets. Some come with integrated alarm systems, but many don’t. Now, with so many regulations like NSF-49/ANSI, USP 797, and USP 800 […]
