September 25, 2009—RF Code, Inc, provider of active “wire-free” adaptive asset management solutions that slash operating and capital expenses, has introduced a real-time liquid detection sensor that eliminates the need to wire or cable a data center for liquid leak detection capabilities, according to the company.
Combining thin-film technology with RF Code’s real-time, wire-free environmental monitoring technology, the new sensor provides the freedom and ease to deploy liquid detection wherever vulnerabilities to conductive liquids threaten expensive IT assets.
Deployment scenarios include wrapping the film-based sensor around floor or ceiling pipes; laying it on vulnerable floor areas including areas under or above a raised floor; placing it on water delivery systems and chillers, including those found under raised floors in older data centers ; and attaching it to air conditioning units and walls.
The RF Code fluid sensor uses thin-film fluid sensing technology developed by Korean-based Yumin Technology Co, Ltd. Unlike available leak detection sensors that need “air time” to dry off between water incidents, the RF Code film-based sensor can be immediately wiped down and ready for action. As a result, there is no leak detection downtime. Also, the amount of liquid needed to initiate a leak alert is minimal, thereby reducing response time to an emerging threat.
