Secure gas detection in the Alibaba Group data centre
MSR-Electronic from Pocking equips data centre in Nantong with gas sensors.
With digitalisation and the energy transition, the demands on data centres and their processing and storage capacity have also increased continuously. While the energy required for the backup systems was usually obtained from conventional energy storage systems such as diesel generators, renewable energy storage systems such as lithium-ion batteries and hydrogen fuel cells are now increasingly being used.
As lithium-ion batteries release hydrogen when overheated or damaged, it is particularly important to continuously monitor the ambient air. This allows dangerous leaks to be detected at an early stage and safety accidents and explosions to be avoided.
In this context, the Alibaba Group also uses gas sensors from MSR-Electronic for H2 gas monitoring in its data centre in Nantong. As one of the world's leading providers of Internet application solutions, Alibaba is among the first in the world to use renewable energy technologies in the construction of large data centres. The explosion-proof gas sensor from MSR-Electronic makes a significant contribution to safety protection in the data centre.
