While designing a branch-office server room that uses chilled-water in-row coolers and a 12-inch raised floor, you must recommend an environmental sensor to install underneath the floor tiles so the monitoring system can send an immediate alert if liquid escapes from a pipe. Which type of sensor is the BEST choice?
Water-leak detection sensors (often implemented as rope or spot probes) complete an electrical circuit the moment conductive liquid touches the element, allowing the DCIM or BMS to raise an alarm before moisture reaches power or network equipment. Differential air-pressure sensors only measure airflow imbalance, PIR motion sensors detect the heat signature of people or animals, and vibration/accelerometer sensors look for seismic or mechanical shaking-none of which will detect the presence of water.
