With the growing demand for powerful data centers for artificial intelligence, big data and high-performance computing, the requirements for reliable and precise cooling are also increasing. SIKA Dr. Siebert & Kühn GmbH & Co. KG presents its stainless steel version of the proven Vortex flow sensors specially developed for this application: a solution for highly sensitive flow monitoring in the rack cooling of high-performance servers.
The most important facts in brief:
• Precise and reliable flow measurement for rack cooling in data centers
• High-quality stainless steel design for maximum robustness
• Decades of measurement technology expertise from SIKA - Made in Germany
• Customized solutions and co-engineering with leading suppliers
The increasing performance of the latest server processors, for example for AI applications, makes direct water cooling at the rack and in cooling distribution units (CDU) a necessity. “Especially in high-performance IT, cooling performance is crucial to the availability of the data center. A precise flow sensor protects against fatal failures,” says a SIKA spokesperson. The new stainless steel version of the Vortex series was developed specifically for these requirements: it combines maximum measuring accuracy with tested tightness and extreme durability for 24/7 continuous operation.
As a traditional family business with over 120 years of experience in measurement technology, SIKA brings all of its expertise in heating and cooling water applications to the demanding world of data centers. In addition to the standard product, the focus is also on customization: “Our strength is close co-engineering with our customers. This results in joint solutions that can be precisely integrated into existing systems - a decisive advantage, especially for sensitive applications such as server cooling,” the company emphasizes.
SIKA sensors are already being used by leading providers of data center solutions. They ensure trouble-free cooling. With its new Vortex generation, SIKA is underlining its claim to further establish itself as a reliable technology partner in this innovative market segment.
