EMERGING APPLICATIONS

New technology.
New risk profiles.

Data infrastructure and lithium-ion energy systems require earlier warning, layered sensing and a response strategy designed around rapidly evolving hazards.

Engineer working on industrial safety equipment01 — DATA CENTRES
MISSION-CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Protecting uptime as well as people.

Data centres combine high electrical loads, battery-backed power and tightly controlled airflow. Protection should detect developing conditions early while limiting unnecessary disruption to critical operations.

  • Very-early-warning aspirating smoke detection
  • Battery-room gas and VOC monitoring
  • Fire alarm, control and suppression integration
  • Alarm zoning and interfaces to facility-management systems

EARLY THERMAL-RUNAWAY WARNING

Detecting the precursors to escalation.

Battery manufacturing, storage and energy systems can develop off-gas, heat and flame conditions in a compressed timeframe. A layered approach can provide earlier awareness than relying on a single fire-detection method.

  • VOC and battery off-gas detection
  • Heat and linear heat-sensing coverage
  • Optical flame and video fire detection
  • Alarm, ventilation, shutdown and suppression interfaces

ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES

Layer the warning.
Coordinate the response.

Sensor selection, detector positioning, alarm thresholds and cause-and-effect logic must be developed around the equipment, enclosure, ventilation pattern and operating procedures.
