Refrigerant Leak Detection Technology

While refrigerant leak detection was once something which would have mostly been at issue where climate control was in effect for human comfort, more and more equipment used in the modern age requires that the climate be held within specific limits. Computer equipment can fail in high temperatures and the only protection against this type of failure is the presence of effective cooling equipment. Some of the systems installed by FOIS can help those who have a room where climate control is a pressing concern realize an effective and convenient way of monitoring their equipment around the clock.

Refrigerant leak detection, as is the case with the water leak detection systems installed by FOIS, is a proactive way to avoid reacting to a crisis situation. Servers and other IT equipment can fail in a matter of minutes if the air temperature becomes too high for effective cooling. These devices, at the same time, produce considerable heat during their normal operation. Offsetting this heat requires that one’s cooling equipment be uninterrupted and, to that end, it’s always best to know about a problem before it becomes an issue that takes a great deal of time and money to remedy.

Refrigerant leak detection involves installing sensors just below the devices and equipment that carry the refrigerated gas used for cooling. These substances are heavier than air which makes them easily detected if they begin leaking from a pipe or a cooling device. Once the sensor is triggered, the alarm device is set off alerting the owners of the facility that there is a problem that needs to be addressed. This can avoid having the servers reach high temperatures before the problem is noticed. It also allows repair people to know exactly what the problem happens to be as the leak is indentified.

The refrigerant detection equipment installed by FOIS constitutes a necessary part of any operation where climate control is necessary to the business’s IT assets. Aside from IT operations, these devices provide valuable troubleshooting information in any space where the cooling system is more than a creature comfort. This equipment can detect the most common gasses used in refrigerant or it can be specially modified to detect other types of cases. This must be determined before the device is ordered so that the components can be custom-made to the task for which they will be employed.
