Data Centers
Protecting Uptime in the World’s Most Data-Driven Environments
Modern data centers power every corner of today’s digital world, including banking, cloud computing, logistics, healthcare, ecommerce, and more. As server density increases and electrical loads intensify, so does the fire risk. Even a brief disruption can cost millions in downtime, lost transactions, or compromised operations with the added risk of loss of reputation, customers and potential lawsuits.
KiddeFenwal delivers integrated detection, control, and suppression solutions engineered to catch early-stage threats and extinguish fires before they spread, all while preserving critical equipment and ensuring uninterrupted service without messy agent residue or runoff.
Fire Risks in Data Centers
Data processing environments contain tightly packed electronics, powerful energy storage systems, complex electrical infrastructure, and continuous 24/7 operation. This combination increases the likelihood of overheating, electrical faults, and enclosed-cabinet fires that can escalate rapidly if not detected early.
Key risk factors include:
- Increased heat from high-density servers and compute workloads
- Battery energy storage (UPS systems) with elevated fire potential
- Confined pathways beneath raised floors and within server racks
- Enclosures where fire can smolder before smoke is visible
- Moisture, dust, and airflow patterns that impede traditional detection
Protecting these facilities requires advanced early-warning detection, fast-acting suppression, and monitoring systems that provide visibility across every critical space.
Built for Mission-Critical Continuity
- Early Detection
Aspirated smoke detection (ASD) and addressable sensors identify overheating or smoke at the earliest possible stage, even inside sealed server enclosures. - Fast, Clean Suppression
Clean-agent systems (NATURA™, Fluoro-K™, HFC-227ea) extinguish fires in seconds without agent residue, water damage, or system downtime. - Seamless Integration
Standard (smoke and heat) and Specialty Detection (Air Sampling, Li-Ion battery anomaly sensors), control panels, notification appliances, and suppression components work together for a unified response across the entire facility. - Continuous Monitoring
IntelliSite™ provides real-time visibility into the fire panel
