11. Why is Leak Detection So Important?
Data Center Issues…
According to an Emerson Survey of the
challenges facing data centers, RLE’s
SeaHawk products could help resolve a
problem that 19.6% of those surveyed
have had to deal with.

14. Customer Review
“The products we have installed allow our engineering team to sleep at night
knowing that any moisture under the floor in any of these critical spaces will be
detected in a moment’s notice and alarmed to the appropriate personnel.
“In the end, we are very pleased with the company, the product, the customer
service, and all parameters in between! Thanks RLE!”
Andy Honeycutt – Engineer
Trammell Crow’s Facilities Management Services to American Express’s Operations Center
15. Customer Review
“We could identify the water issue, and the plumbers could find the location of the
problem, even though we couldn’t see any actively leaking water. It could have been
disastrous over time, but fortunately we got to it early.”
Marcus McCutchen - Director of IT Telephone Services Department
University of Northern Colorado
16. Sources of Leaks
Water Supply & Return Lines
• Pipes
• Couplings & Fittings
• Valves
Air Conditioning Units / Chillers
Plumbing Fixtures
Clogged Drains
Storage Tanks
Building Construction Issues
17. Common Applications
• Under raised floors
– Heat loads in data centers require water cooled solutions
introducing water to areas that are most sensitive to water
leaks
– Some new buildings are being built entirely with raised floors
to simplify construction and design changes
• Above drop ceilings
• Affixed to water supply and return lines
• In drip pans
• Encapsulating areas of concern
– Sources of potential leaks
– Protecting anything that may be damaged by a water leak
• Opportunities are also being driven by insurance
companies!
