Data centers depend on continuous cooling water to remove heat from servers. Flow measurement supports cooling assurance, pump monitoring, energy efficiency and capacity planning — on piping that cannot be shut down. A clamp-on meter installs externally on operating cooling lines, giving flow data without any risk to cooling continuity.
Where they are used
- Chilled and cooling water mains — fixed meters monitor continuous flow to cooling loops (YF-C6 / YF-C8).
- Pump monitoring — confirm flow and detect pump degradation early.
- Thermal energy monitoring — pair flow with supply/return temperature to measure cooling energy (YF-E6).
- Commissioning and balancing — portable meters for setup and periodic audits (YF-P2).
Why it suits data centers
- Install without shutting down cooling — no operational risk.
- No pressure loss on pumping systems.
- Continuous flow and totalization for assurance.
- Energy-meter option for cooling efficiency and PUE-related monitoring.
- Integration into BMS via standard outputs.
Cooling reliability and efficiency are closely linked: flow data helps confirm that the right amount of chilled water reaches each loop while supporting energy reporting. Our engineers can recommend fixed, portable or energy-meter configurations for your cooling system.
Frequently asked questions
Can cooling flow be measured without shutdown?
Yes, transducers mount externally on operating pipes.
Can it measure cooling energy?
Yes, an energy-meter configuration adds supply/return temperature to calculate cooling energy.
