A prominent data centre experienced inconsistent readings from their Building Management System (BMS) due to spurious data from installed Siemens flow meters. Global Pump & Seal Ltd was called upon to resolve this issue by conducting thorough flow testing to ensure accurate measurements and system reliability.
The data centre relied heavily on precise flow measurements to maintain optimal operational conditions for critical computing equipment. The Siemens flow meters integrated throughout their pipework began to report inaccurate flow data, which could potentially lead to overheating and hardware failure. Accurate flow data was crucial for the data centre to manage cooling systems effectively and ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.
Global Pump & Seal Ltd deployed a team of specialists equipped with advanced, calibrated flow testing equipment to conduct comprehensive diagnostics of the existing flow meters. The team methodically tested all relevant pipework sections, comparing these readings against the calibration of the Siemens flow meters to identify discrepancies.
The intervention by Global Pump & Seal Ltd restored accuracy to the data centre’s cooling management system. The recalibrated flow meters ensured precise monitoring and control of cooling flows, critical to maintaining the optimal environment for the data centre’s operations.
This case study underscores the importance of accurate flow measurement within data center operations. Global Pump & Seal Ltd’s expertise in conducting precise flow testing and calibration provided the client with a reliable solution to a potentially disruptive issue, highlighting our commitment to delivering technical excellence and supporting critical infrastructure reliability.
