Setra’s differential pressure sensors are renowned for their superior quality and reliability, making them ideal for data center HVAC applications. Utilizing advanced capacitive sensing technology, Setra offers both single-range and multi-range (field-selectable) pressure sensors. The core of Setra's sensors is the in-house designed and manufactured stainless steel capacitive sensing element. This ensures full control over production and quality, resulting in sensors with exceptional accuracy and long-term stability.

ASHRAE recommends data center temperatures in the range of 64.4 to 80.6 F and humidity at 60 percent. Therefore, controlling temperature and humidity in data centers is vital for protecting equipment and ensuring efficiency. This blog introduces Setra Systems' SRH series sensors, which provide precise environmental monitoring to boost reliability, lower energy costs, and promote sustainability.

There are many major benefits to be gained from the implementation of a Setra Continuous Environmental Monitoring System (CEMS). The use cases shown below exemplify the ongoing value delivered through this secure, highly available, cloud-based, real-time environmental monitoring, alarming, reporting and data collection platform. 

What is a REST API and Why Should I Care? 

The awareness and utilization of APIs has exploded in recent years. Originally the domain of the software development community, these powerful interoperability enablers are now at the forefront of web, cloud-based and mobile device application development. 

Let’s face facts; manual monitoring of cleanroom particulate counts is costly, monotonous and highly error prone. Cleanroom managers are very aware that by far the greatest contamination threats come from individuals entering controlled spaces. Understandably, to reduce the number people accessing these critical environments, many companies are tasking the cleanroom operations staff already working within these spaces with the additional responsibility for manual environmental monitoring (EM). While this approach has obvious benefits, such as lower labor costs and reduced contamination risks, it also introduces significant new data integrity issues.  

Setra’s wide array of non-viable particle counters are used throughout critical environments to measure particle concentrations of various sizes; these counters use a long-life laser diode, light scattering, and photo detector to calculate particle size and quantities as the sampled air passes through. Particle counters are required for cleanroom certification but are also often used for continuous, sequential, or periodic monitoring of the space between certifications and to ensure that particle levels are maintained below critical thresholds during manufacturing. This post will look at Setra’s different particle counters and their differences to help you decide upon the correct unit(s) for your application.
