Session description
In data center cooling, there is zero tolerance for leaks: a cooling failure can trigger an emergency shutdown of IT infrastructure within minutes – with potentially multi-million-dollar consequences. Yet in many facilities, leak testing is still treated as a mere compliance obligation rather than an integral part of a proactive operational strategy. And yet this shift in mindset makes all the difference: between reactive repairs and predictive operations.
This presentation shows how operators and service teams can evolve leak testing from a routine requirement into a true operational strategy. The focus is on the specific demands that modern data center environments place on leak detection systems, a comparison of suitable technologies and sensors, and common pitfalls encou ...
