Data centers have become serious and very specific units for processing, sharing, and storing data. Units of this type must have extremely high levels of security, both for equipment, access and data, and for the protection of operating personnel.
Unfortunately, data center projects often ignore or overlook the risks that may occur in certain risk areas of the energy part, such as rooms for batteries and generators. The main risks here are explosive Hydrogen generated by VRLA battery systems, as well as Carbon monoxide, Oxygen deficiency and flammable gases that can occur during the operation of the unit.
Typical applications:
- Battery storage room (VRLA)
- Aggregate space
Typical gases:
- Explosive: Hydrogen
- Toxic: Carbon monoxide
- Flammable: Hydrocarbon vapors
- Oxygen: Oxygen deficiency
