Growing industry, growing demands

Evolution driven by power density

• 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

• 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?

High-pressure water mist remains effective

What is SEM-SAFE^®  system for fire protection

SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist systems are suitable for protecting an entire mission-critical data facility, including double tier cable trays, data processing equipment rooms or halls, and sub-floors.

In addition, SEM-SAFE^® systems comprise a high-pressure modular pump unit, section valves, piping, and water mist nozzles. The pump unit has a compact design, low weight, small footprint and an easy configuration to fit the data center’s need for expansion.

Moreover the SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water systems use water micro-droplets released through the nozzle into protected areas. An ultra-fine mist is formed with a two-fold extinguishing effect. In addition to cooling the flames, it simultaneously starves the fire of oxygen. The cooling effect also lowers the risk of re-ignition, protects against heat damage, and hinders fire spreading.

Features and benefits

•  Minimum downtime
•  Low water consumption
•  Ventilation can be kept running
•  Lower total cost of ownership 
•  Small pump and water tank footprint

The SEM-SAFE^® nozzle installation kit has been developed to fit the SEM-SAFE^® high-pressure water mist nozzle and is compatible with a variety of ceiling types. It is suitable for drop-hose installation and fixed piping. It allows for easy installation and servicing of nozzles.

The SEM-SAFE^® nozzle installation kit can be used for the following purposes:  

• simply covering the nozzle or  
• installing the nozzle in the ceiling, while also ensuring nozzle coverage

Simplicity and ease of use were key parameters in developing this solution. With the help of magnets fitted to the clamp disc, the cover plate simply ‘clicks’ and covers the installation area. 

By using the nozzle installation kit, the SEM-SAFE^® nozzle can be installed last and the pressure testing can be done before the nozzle is finally installed in the ceiling. With this installation solution, any maintenance and inspection as well as alteration to the ceiling can be done without interfering with the high-pressure water mist nozzle and system, thereby saving time on installation and maintenance significantly. 

The "click" solution kit includes 3 main components:

Clamp disc - to be installed around the nozzle neck. The clamp disc is designed as a multi bracket, to utilize for both installing nozzles with screws and for installing nozzle with "spider" weldment functionality.

Cover plate - clicks on clamp disc to cover the nozzle installation area.

"Spider" weldment - needed when screws can not be used for installation. Supports installation from the top side of the ceiling.

Documentation

Please click here in order to access the data sheet for the SEM-SAFE® nozzle installation kit.

Videos

There are three methods in total of installing the nozzle using the SEM-SAFE^® nozzle installation kit:

1. Nozzle installation with cover plate and clamp disc - nozzle covering only

2. Nozzle installation with cover plate and clamp disc - installation directly in the ceiling or wall with screws

3. Nozzle installation with cover plate, clamp disc and "spider" weldment - installation directly in the ceiling or wall with the use of "spider" weldment

How to order

To order the SEM-SAFE® nozzle installation kit, write to our Customer Centrer via firesafety.customer@danfoss.com.

After working with water mist from the very beginning, Jens Jepsen has decided to retire at the end of April 2016.

The German partner "Callies Brandbekämpfungsysteme GmbH" was among the first companies specializing in high-pressure water systems for land based applications.

• Divide Danfoss Semco China into one division responsible for sales in the southern part of China and one division responsible for sales in the northern part of China. The purpose of this decision is to strengthen our networks of distributors and to reinforce our sales and marketing activities.
• The roles within the Danfoss Semco China organisation have been redefined to take advantage of staff skills and abilities.
• A completely new strategy called “Must Win Battles 2016” has been brainstormed to cover price management, sales strategy, market development and certificate target.
• Training within pipeline management.
