  • Mr. Water Mist checks his last nozzle

    Published 24 October 2024

    “I’ve acquired my technical skills in what you… View

    “I’ve acquired my technical skills in what you can call the school of life, learning by doing,” says Ib Rene, shown here during his last service trip this June on board the cruise ship Serenade of the Seas in the Mediterranean.

    What job gives you 33 years onboard cruise ships and million-dollar yachts on duty for Danfoss? Ask Ib Rene Sonnenborg.

     

    Brazil, Guatemala, Panama, USA, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Japan, China, Egypt….

    68-year-old Ib Rene Sonnenborg sighs, then stops recalling all the countries he’s visited during his career as Technical Supervisor in Danfoss Fire Safety. But he knows the total: it’s 83. And, looking back, he describes his work life in Danfoss as extraordinary.

    “I’ve spent an enormous amount of time onboard cruise ships, yachts, and liners. I’ve seen flyfish, dolphins, whales. Still, it’s been no holiday. The job has been demanding, with responsibility that you can’t take lightly. It’s been about saving lives with Danfoss products. And this, more than anything, has given the job purpose and meaning.”

    Ib Rene’s main task has been to service Danfoss’ SEM-SAFE® water mist fire suppression system in marine applications worldwide, primarily ships.

    Atomizing water into mist

    Using high-pressure spray-nozzles, the system atomizes water into a dense mist that immediately cools flames and prevents them from breathing.

    An average-size cruise ship needs a thousand nozzles or more for effective fire protection. Ib Rene dismounts between 60 to 80 random nozzles on each annual service check looking for signs of corrosion and blockages. He also tests the nozzles’ reaction to flames, smoke, and heat. He tests water supply, pump pressures, and more.

    So, he typically needs to stay onboard for days as the ship sails from a to b.

    “I start in one area systematically working myself through the ship. Mostly, it’s just me and my toolbox. Some would call it a lonely job. But I like it, being my own boss. And I have my own cabin to sleep in and access to the restaurant buffets. I’ve always regarded this a fantastic perk,” says Ib Rene.

    The backside has been all the time away from his family. As he passed age 60, his body was no longer too fond of all the running through airports and train terminals either.

    Ib Rene's last service trip sailing from Gibraltar, Spain, to Ravenna, Italy:

    Previous Next

    More office, less airport

    So, at 63, he asked his department director Henrik Bygbjerg if he could possibly find more use for him in the office and less onboard the cruise ships.

    “I will never forget his reaction. ‘Stop thinking so much about what Danfoss needs. Think about what you need,’ he said. It’s the kind of thing that makes me proud to work for Danfoss. It’s the reason I’ve stayed on till 68 instead of retiring sooner. It’s the reason I’ve continued to like working,” Ib Rene explains.

    Since then, his onboard service trips have been down to two or three annually. Instead, he provides technical service to colleagues in the field from his office at Danfoss Fire Safety’s headquarters in Odense, Denmark.

    Ib Rene Sonnenborg joined the company in 1991 – back then as part of Semco Maritime A/S whose fire safety division Danfoss bought in 2006 to form Danfoss Fire Safety.

    Andrew Bates (left), Head of Aftermarket, Danfoss Fire Safety, supported Ib Rene’s wish to spend more time in the office. “Ib Rene knows every step up and down these ships. Blindfold him, and he will still know. So, no one is better at providing back-office support to younger colleagues in the field. They see him as a father figure - experienced, calm, modest. You just want to keep a guy like Ib Rene on the team as long as possible - on terms that works for him. Right: Henrik Bygbjerg.

    Ib Rene looks forward to spending more time with his wife, two grown children, and grandchildren. His last workday will be in November. “But it won’t be a goodbye to sailing. I own a tiny boat and love spending time on it with both family and friends. When I am on that boat, I relax,” Ib Rene says.

    Facts:

    Danfoss Fire Safety’s key products are the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system and the SEM-SAFE® low-pressure CO2 system.

    The former uses high-pressure spray nozzles to create a dense water mist which quickly covers flames, so they suffocate. The water in the mist also effectively absorbs heat from a fire, so it loses energy. One advantage of the SEM-SAFE® nozzles is that they extinguish a fire using much less water than traditional sprinkler systems, thereby minimizing the risk of water damage.

    The SEM-SAFE® low-pressure CO2 system uses carbon dioxide to replace oxygen where a fire has caught on. The method is extremely effective, but mostly suitable in areas with no human presence as CO2 in high concentrations can be hazardous.

    While many spend their summer holidays by the beach, a few choose to push their limits and do incredible things. Our amazing colleague, David Sherrington, Project Engineer at Danfoss Fire Safety, is one of those few.

    David recently took part in the 1st chapter of the VIA ultra race – a 4,000 km, unsupported biking adventure across Europe! This first chapter drew inspiration from Hannibal’s (the Carthaginian general) legendary march to Italy (218 BC). This race is no ordinary ride, as riders must carry everything, they need themselves, resupply at local shops and cafes along the way, and plan their own routes between checkpoints. Apart from crossing mountain range and experience stunning landscapes and sunsets, the race also included:
    • Full distance: 4,000 km / 39,000 m ascent.
    • Route: From Cartagena, Spain to Giovinazzo, Italy.
    • David completed: 3,260 km / 34,000 m ascent (with a well-deserved train ride from Florence).
    • Time: No official limit, but the finishers’ party was 14 days after the starts.
    • Temperatures: Ranged from 12°C to 42°C.
    • Countries: Spain, France, and Italy.
    Next year’s adventure continues with Chapter 2, themed around Germanicus (Roman general and politician), taking riders through Italy, Germany, and Holland. Huge congratulations to David for this epic achievement!

  • Data centre Danfoss Fire Safety

    High-pressure water mist – suitable for modern data centre cooling methods

    Published 22 April 2024

    If you design data centres, you will have… View

    Danfoss Fire Safety Data CentreIf you design data centres, you will have noticed that facilities are getting bigger – and hotter. As a result, data centre cooling is evolving towards new techniques that provide effective, sustainable, and cost-effective cooling that maintains the right temperature, even as server rack power continues to grow. But no matter which cooling technology is used at the facility, high-pressure water mist systems are evolving too in order to continue to provide efficient fire suppression and thus remains the key to optimal fire safety design in any data centre.

    Growing industry, growing demands

    The data centre industry is growing rapidly – as are the demands placed on it. The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud services, edge computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) means that the need for storage space and processing power is skyrocketing. Server racks are getting more powerful, but their increasing power density also means higher rack temperatures. At the same time, data centre owners and operators need to minimise operating costs and reduce power consumption as much as possible to minimise the climate impact of their systems to comply with client expectations and sustainability legislation.

    Evolution driven by power density

    Adopting new cooling techniques is a good solution to these challenges. Liquid cooling such as direct-to-chip cooling and immersion cooling offers high performance plus efficiency improvements that can increase power usage effectiveness (PUE) and reduce climate impact. This evolution is largely driven by increasing power density: With the more powerful, and hotter, server racks being deployed, traditional air cooling including CRAC (computer room air conditioning) and CRAH (computer room air handling) in many cases is no longer sufficient. Liquid cooling, by contrast, offers the required performance.
    • In direct-to-chip cooling, small pipes deliver liquid coolant directly to the server motherboard. The liquid absorbs processor heat which is then transported out of the server and evaporated (using a chilled-water loop or similar).
    • In immersion cooling, the server itself is submerged into liquid coolant, for example mineral oil or another dielectric liquid. The coolant is pumped through an evaporator system, efficiently removing the heat from the server hardware.

    Varying risk profiles

    But how exactly do cooling methods affect fire protection? Do they make any difference? It depends on how the data centre is designed. Data centre designers take many different approaches to cooling depending on their targets, and the risk profile depends very much on the actual design in each case. A couple of examples:
    • If air cooling is used, how are the airflows designed? Does the cooling system use forced ventilation, and does it use hot and cold aisles? What role do the airflows play in a fire – and how do you design a fire suppression system that delivers the required performance in each case?
    • If the data centre relies on immersion cooling, what liquid is being used? Some dielectric fluids have a flash point low enough for them to constitute a fire hazard. And what would happen if unforeseen events or mechanical failure were to result in liquid leakage or heating?
    In any case, the increased temperatures in modern data centres constitutes an increased risk. If the cooling system fails, today’s high-powered data centre server racks will quickly rise to higher temperatures, increasing the risk of asset breakdowns – and of fire. [caption id="attachment_14372" align="alignnone" width="700"]FM Approvals data centre halls - below floor double tier cable trays fire test[/caption]

    High-pressure water mist remains effective

    Fortunately, the wide variety of cooling technologies and general design principles doesn’t have to give the fire safety designer sleepless nights: In a changing data centre industry, high-pressure water mist systems remain a reliable method for suppressing data centre fires.When activated, a high-pressure water mist system emits a fine mist of water droplets through a localised section of nozzles. The droplets attack two elements of the fire triangle, removing both oxygen and heat and combining the suppression effect of gas and traditional sprinkler systems.In data centre applications, high-pressure water mist has several benefits over gas or sprinklers. It uses less water, reducing damage to data centre assets. Only the nozzles in the affected area are activated, further reducing water consumption. And because the system uses only clean water, it is harmless to humans, and excess water can quickly be removed after a fire, shortening downtime.The physical properties of high-pressure water mist systems mean that they are capable of handling any type of data centre fire. This applies to all commercially available solutions that conform to the FM 5560 Approval Standard for Water Mist Systems (Appendix M and N), and some manufacturers go beyond that basic requirement.The nozzles of the SEM-SAFE® system from Danfoss Fire Safety, for example, have been tested and approved for higher nozzle release temperatures, allowing for an increase in the ambient temperature within the data halls. This reduces demand on the cooling system and minimises cooling system energy consumption significantly.  As new cooling methods introduce these challenges in fire protection, whether that be from increase air velocities, liquid cooling, or higher temperatures, Danfoss Fire Safety works with third parties to evaluate its solutions, such as tests from FM 5560 Data Centre tests (Appendix M and N) and additional fire tests with RISE Fire Research in Norway.

    Additional benefits with future-proof technology

    In addition to reliable fire suppression, high-pressure water mist systems provide other benefits to the fire system designer, installer, and data centre operator: The small pipe size and compact pump units typically used make the solutions easy to integrate and install. And their low water and reduction in raw materials makes them a good match for clients looking to reduce their climate footprint.You may find yourself faced with many different rack space and cooling system designs, and with the need to design and install fire protection systems that deliver satisfactory performance for all of them. High-pressure water mist has been an excellent choice for fire extinguishing systems in data centres for years. As the industry evolves to tackle new challenges and client demands, the technology remains the key to ensuring adequate fire safety.
