Data centre water leak detection

Commercial water leak detection for data centres

Aquilar are a distributor and manufacturer of commercial water leak detection solutions for use in data centres, server rooms and comms rooms.

Data centres, server rooms and communication areas need to be kept cool and rigorously controlled with air conditioning systems.

Depending on the size of the area, there may be multiple systems, most of which typically hold some form of refrigerant gas. Should there be a failure of any part of the system, there is a risk of refrigerant gas leaking into the atmosphere. Leaking systems are inefficient and more expensive to operate but also pose environmental and health risks to occupants as refrigerant gas depletes oxygen and, in some cases, can cause suffocation.

Manage risk, costly repairs, environmental impact and protect high value assets from a disastrous air conditioning refrigerant gas leak with a system from Aquilar that monitors for leaks and pinpoints the exact location.

Aquilar’s range of commercial water leak detection and monitoring solutions offer accurate and reliable alerts to even the smallest of liquid leaks. Water ingress can go unnoticed, especially if it’s happening over a long period of time and, if left undetected, can cause costly damage to high value assets in data centres and server rooms. Such issues can then lead to short-circuits, electric shocks, corrosion and fire. Such leaks can also affect humidity which can be harmful to server reliability and uptime.

Our proven data centre leak detection systems can detect at ground level as well as leaks from pipework within dropped or suspended ceilings or within drip trays located with air conditioning units.

Typical commercial building leak detection applications

Server rooms, data halls, comms rooms

Server room data centre leak detection from Aquilar

Water within the floor void of any data/server room can be disastrous. The mix of water and high humidity in these vital water-sensitive areas can result in complete equipment shut-down, often leading to company downtime as well as a requirement to replace all vital equipment after an extensive clean-up operation.

The TT1000 Water Sensing Cable, installed within the floor void, monitors for water leaks originating from pipework and AC units within the equipment room or for water ingress from external sources. Leak detection provides early warning allowing for necessary repairs to be made preventing damage to vital equipment, building fabric, fixtures and fittings.

Tea points, kitchens and wet servery areas

Tea points kitchens wet servery leak detection Aquilar

Tea points, kitchens and other wet servery areas are a common source of leaks. The presence of multiple wet appliances such as dishwashers, sinks, coffee machines and zip taps can often suffer with leaking pipework and/or connection points.

The installation of a TT1000 Water Sensing Cable or AT-PROBE-TS Water Detection Probes on the floor, under the units provide early warning for potential leaks preventing extensive damage to the building fabric, fixtures and fittings.

Toilet blocks, public bathrooms

Public toilet and bathroom leak detection Aquilar

Toilet blocks commonly cause damage to buildings when leaks occur. Such leaks result in wet damage as well as waste damage which causes additional expense and inconvenience due to the obvious health and safety issues.

The installation of AT-PROBE-TS Water Detection Probes to monitor sinks, WC cisterns and pipework provide an early warning of issues before extensive leaks occur in order to prevent the spread of waste water in the building.

Plant rooms, generator systems

Plant room generator fuel leak detection

Plant rooms, electrical switch rooms and similar areas contain vital, expensive equipment which provide power, heat, water and other utilities to the building.

Equipment can fail resulting in catastrophic leaks in these vital areas. Such leaks can render a building unsafe or unusable for prolonged periods of time while vital systems are repaired.

The installation of AT-PROBE-TS Water Detection Probes around water storage tanks, pumps, sprinkler systems and other wet areas provide an early warning of issues before extensive leaks occur preventing the spread of water through vital areas.

Standby Power (Diesel Generator Systems) are standard in most commercial buildings. These can have leakage issues
with fuel from the engine, pipework connection points or the fuel storage tank. Alternatively, loss of coolant or hydraulic fluid, which could potentially cause damage to the engine, are commonplace problems and a potential source of
great expense.

The installation of the AT-OPSEN Optical Sensor around the equipment monitors for fuel and liquid leaks preventing potential damage to equipment, possible environmental issues and loss of standby power.
