Data centers are the backbone of today’s digital infrastructure. As computing densities continue to increase, particularly in AI and other high-performance applications, the demands placed on stable and efficient climate control and cooling systems are growing continuously.
In practice, two primary cooling principles are used, which may also be combined depending on the architecture:
- Air-based cooling systems
- Water-based cooling systems
Differential pressure switches and differential pressure transmitters are essential components of this infrastructure and play a key role in ensuring operational reliability, energy efficiency, and dependable performance.
For both cooling approaches, we offer suitable components that have already proven themselves in numerous data centers and AI applications worldwide.
Due to the ever-increasing power densities of modern computing systems, a clear trend toward direct liquid cooling is emerging—particularly for CPUs, GPUs, and other high-performance processors used in AI and HPC applications.
Air Conditioning and Air Cooling – Precise Differential Pressure Measurement for Stable Systems
In traditional HVAC-based cooling systems, differential pressure measurement plays a critical role.
Our differential pressure switches monitor air filters in ventilation systems for contamination and clogging. Our differential pressure transmitters measure and control airflow velocities and volume flows. For virtually every application and pressure range, we offer suitable switches and transmitters that have been successfully used in data centers for many years.
The result: optimized air distribution, lower energy costs, and stable system operation.
Water Cooling – Reliable Monitoring of Modern Direct Liquid Cooling Concepts
As power densities continue to rise, direct liquid cooling of CPUs, GPUs, and other high-performance processors is becoming increasingly important. Water can transport approximately four times more thermal energy than the same volume of air, enabling significantly more efficient heat absorption and transfer.
Differential pressure measurement and control are equally essential for managing cooling performance in these systems. Our DMU988 differential pressure transmitter series has been specifically developed for this purpose and monitors differential pressure within the cooling circuit. This enables precise adjustment, control, and monitoring of flow rates according to the cooling requirements of the high-performance components.
In these critical applications, precise differential pressure monitoring plays a decisive role in preventing thermal risks.
The DMU988 series is already being successfully deployed in demanding liquid-cooled data center applications.
