Infrared Thermography
Ensure Data Center Electrical Equipment Operations and Worker Safety
Continuous scanning and inspection of data center electrical equipment is critical to identifying electrical hot spots that could, if left unresolved, result in equipment malfunctions and serious safety hazards.
Data centers are increasingly employing infrared (IR) thermography technologies to monitor and sense heat build up and resistance within white space electrical equipment. These technologies enable electricians to identify and fix hotspots before they reach points of failure, causing downtime and safety risks.
While currently an annual requirement for electrical maintenance by the National Fire Protection Association, Compu Dynamics recommends that critical systems be inspected more frequently. Regular IR snapshots of critical systems equips data center owners with granular knowledge of the current conditions and health of their data center electrical equipment, as well as develop a precise maintenance plan to keep equipment in peak operating condition.
Benefits of IR Thermography for Data Centers
- Minimize Downtime: Proactive electrical hotspot detection, prevention, and maintenance
- Worker Safety: Safely scan for abnormal heat resistance instead of relying on outdated, hazardous methods
- Ensure Equipment Operation: Ensure that new equipment is free of defects or issues stemming from the manufacturer or installation process
- Cost Savings: Avoid operational disruptions and revenue loss from equipment failures and downtime
Compu Dynamics’ IR Services
Your data center’s uptime is our business. Our certified electricians are equipped with the proper tools to conduct thorough IR scans, document all equipment evaluated, and deliver a robust report for our customers.
Our services include:
- Peak Operating Time Scanning: We conduct scans during the busiest hours of operation to accurately capture all heat that is present during a max load.
- Standard Photographs: In addition to infrared photographs, our team provides standard photos of electrical equipment so that maintenance personnel can see system conditions in the IR spectrum and what the human eye can see.
- Actionable Reporting: Every IR thermography customer receives a detailed feedback report outlining every piece of equipment evaluated and maintenance recommendations. Customers always have the option to have Compu Dynamics remediate any problems discovered during the inspection.
