AC Drives for Data Centers
HMI Units
Fuji Electric HMI’s provide the ability to closely monitor energy usage, and system status. Our HMI Displays aid in keeping you appraised of the health of your Data Center HVAC systems. The color touchscreen HMI display provides easy operation, as well as comprehensive information and diagnostics.
Features & Benefits:
- Operation Log Function – Allows viewing of the operation procedures that cause defects and production settings based on the date and time manufactured
- Recipe Function – Data can be read or written with ease; Recipe data can be stored in CSV files on a storage device connected to MONITOUCH
- PLC 8-Way communication – Programs for connection and control are not required and number of units can be reduced
- MES Function – Creating a separate program (Macro) on MONITOUCH allows notifications of replacement periods by tallying data in the database
- Device Memory Map – Reduce the work hours required to create transfer programs. Improved operation responsiveness
- Trend Graph – The screen overlaid with trend graphs can be updated allowing variations in production to be noticed using statistical process control (SPC)
- Ladder Transfer – Check and change ladders by connecting a PC to the V9 while leaving the cable between the PLC and V9 connected
- PDF Viewer – Paperless reduces paper costs and improves work efficiency since going back and forth between the cleanroom and office is not required
- VNC Function – This enables large machines and long lines, to be operated while also monitoring
- VPN Remote Access – Local situation can be analyzed and the time & expenses for dispatching employees can be reduced
HMI Displays for Data Centers
Instrumentation & Control
Flow meters in data centers are crucial for optimizing cooling efficiency, monitoring energy use, and ensuring reliability by precisely measuring liquid (chilled water) and gas (compressed air) flow in HVAC systems, from chillers to server racks, helping managers find leaks, balance systems, and cut costs. They provide real-time data to prevent overheating, manage energy consumption, and maintain stable conditions for IT equipment, supporting sustainability goals and operational health.
Key Uses in Data Centers
- Cooling System Optimization:
- Chilled Water Loops: Measure flow in supply/return lines to ensure balanced cooling, detect blockages, and verify cooling capacity, say ONICON and Allengra.
- Direct-to-Chip Cooling: Monitor ultra-low flows in advanced liquid cooling circuits for AI accelerators.
- Airflow Management: Detect nonproductive air demand or leaks in compressed air systems, which can waste significant energy, according to Comate Instruments and Air Best Practices.
- Energy & Cost Management:
- Energy Audits: Provide data on energy use in HVAC and other systems, identifying waste for targeted reduction, note ONICON Flow and Energy Measurement.
- Spotting Inefficiencies: Pinpoint underperforming equipment or unbalanced cooling that leads to higher energy bills.
- Operational Reliability & Monitoring:
- Real-Time Visibility: Offer continuous data on what’s flowing where, ensuring adequate supply to all endpoints.
- Alerts & Control: Send data to control systems to trigger alerts for flow deviations or automate adjustments.
- IAQ Compliance: Ensure minimum ventilation requirements for occupied spaces are met.
- Types of Flow Meters Used:
- Ultrasonic Flow Meters: Clamp-on or in-line, non-intrusive, good for water and other liquids.
- Thermal Mass Flow Meters: Ideal for gases, like compressed air.
Features & Benefits
Accurate gauge of the working condition of your equipment
Energy performance indicators to allow accurate and continuous monitoring of consumption
Detect any possible deviations or malfunctions, anticipate failures, and optimize operations
