Data centres generate enormous heat loads. The coolant distribution units (CDUs) that control the heat rely on precise, real-time measurements to function safely. Here is how sensing technology for pressure, temperature, flow and level keeps coolant distribution units …
Applications
Level measurement in lifting plants: Non-contact radar technology
Alexander Marek | Applications, LevelWastewater lifting plants place high demands on level measurement: humid atmospheres, aggressive suspended solids, potentially explosive zones. The model ILT radar level sensor from WIKA avoids all that by measuring from outside through the container wall, without …
Level measurement in nuclear power plants: Reliability during accidents
Viktor Oldenburger | Applications, Level, ProductsThe N-ALM level sensor from WIKA is a specialised instrument for level measurement in nuclear power plants. It operates reliably under LOCA and BDBA conditions, even in the event of a total loss of power supply. Containing neither active electronics nor organic …
Filter monitoring for seawater cooling in power plants
Jing Lyu | ApplicationsPower plants near the shore often use seawater for their cooling systems. Before entering the circuit, it undergoes a complex filtering process to prevent damage to the system caused by residues. Continuous filter monitoring of the seawater cooling system is essential …
Force transducers secure cable-stayed bridges
Natallia Lineva | ApplicationsCable-stayed bridges span roads, valleys, rivers and straits all over the world. They carry countless vehicles around the clock, every day. Their stability depends, crucially, on the permanent load-bearing capacity of the stay cables. Their tension must therefore be …
