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 […]
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 […]
The data center industry is expected to experience significant growth in the coming years. Factors driving the need for increased data infrastructure include artificial intelligence, big data analytics, the growth of cloud computing services, and enhanced security against data breaches. As the demand for capacity increases, so does the need for advanced airflow measurement tools. […]
Airflow is an important factor in a data center. By adding air velocity sensing to your data center monitoring system, you can be notified of potential issues right away. Sensor placements will vary based on the data center environment; however, many organizations opt to monitor each cold air supply and hot air exhaust. Bi-directional velocity […]
Bi-directional velocity sensors measure velocity, temperature, and airflow direction simultaneously The simultaneous measurement of air velocity and air direction is essential to environmental management and process control. Building air should move from clean to dirty zones, and then out, to provide for healthy indoor environments. To conserve energy, reduce cooling costs, and prevent electronics from […]
Need to add basis to your efficiency conversations? Collect the data first. Proper cooling architecture is of the utmost importance when considering overall energy consumption and cost effectiveness within a data center. PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), RCI (Rack Cooling Index), and COP (Coefficient of Performance) are measures that deserve to be part of cooling and […]
B-Series airflow sensors measure air velocity, temperature, and the direction of velocity in real time. Bidirectional airflow sensors detect flow reversals to alert HVAC professionals and process engineers to out of bounds conditions. Air should be moving in the right direction for systems and processes to work as designed. Airflow direction matters. It is connected […]
Multipoint measurement allows many points of air velocity, temperature, and humidity data to be sensed and collected simultaneously, and in real time. Two-dimensional sensing arrays are used to measure air velocity and temperature in a planar cross section of a flow field. Airflow applications may require: A single test layout where the number of sensors […]
As managers monitor raised floor data centers and identify hot spots that need to be addressed, they often turn to the HotSpotr™ thermostatically controlled air mover to solve cooling issues. The HT-510 is an underfloor air mover and DC fan tray cooling tile. It delivers a variable volume of cooling air upward, to the inlet side […]
Perforated Floor Tile Airflow Measurements Data center cooling is key to protecting IT equipment, maximizing capacity, and optimizing efficiency. In a raised floor data center, cool air is pumped into an underfloor plenum and delivered to IT equipment through perforated floor tiles. Measuring airflow rates through these floor tiles is essential to validate CFD models, […]
