Data centers rely on vast cooling and water management systems to maintain uptime, efficiency and equipment integrity. These systems consume and recirculate large volumes of water, where even small inefficiencies can drive up operational costs and environmental impact. Advanced flow metering, water quality monitoring and gas monitoring technologies are essential for promoting precise water use, optimizing cooling system performance and supporting sustainability goals. Continuous, real-time data empowers operators to detect anomalies early, maintain consistent system efficiency and meet evolving compliance standards.
Optimizing HVAC cooling systems in data centers is essential to maintaining optimal thermal conditions, improving energy efficiency and supporting uninterrupted performance. Integrated monitoring helps balance water and energy use, stabilize chiller operation and promote long-term system reliability.
Upgrading existing HVAC infrastructure with advanced flow, energy and water quality monitoring technologies enhances efficiency and reliability. Integrated measurement and communication capabilities enable facility teams to track performance, improve control and extend equipment life across retrofit and modernization projects.
Maintaining water quality in HVAC systems is vital to long-term reliability and protecting critical cooling infrastructure. Real-time monitoring of key parameters in both open and closed loop systems eliminates the need for manual sampling, enabling operators to identify corrosion risks and system faults before they escalate.
Tracking discharge volumes, evaporation loss and water quality helps maintain compliance with environmental and local discharge regulations. Continuous data collection supports event detection, cost recovery and sustainability reporting, helping operators manage responsible water use across facility operations.
Accurate measurement of water utilization and quality parameters help data centers maintain water usage costs and optimize system efficiency. Gain visibility into water usage, evaporation and chemical content to manage utility expenses and system efficiency with confidence.
Even minor temperature fluctuations can lead to equipment damage in data centers, impacting performance and reliability. Flow meters and water quality sensors are essential tools for maintaining optimal conditions, and consistent, efficient cooling in demanding environments.
Comprehensive flow and quality monitoring solutions integrate seamlessly with BMS, SCADA and DCIM systems. Real-time communication enables centralized oversight, data sharing and alarm management—providing a unified view of critical cooling performance across the facility.
As water scarcity and regulations tighten, achieving LEED certification or aligning with ASHRAE 90.4 guidelines to maintain Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE) is increasingly difficult. Achieve WUE goals with accurate, continuous water usage and quality insights.
