High-density data centers are rapidly adopting liquid cooling technologies such as direct-to-chip cold plates and rear-door heat exchangers to manage racks drawing 15–30 kW or more. These systems often rely on propylene glycol mixtures in primary and secondary loops to transport heat safely and efficiently. However, introducing liquid to IT spaces introduces leak risk. Effective leak detection, integrated with a building management system (BMS) and tuned for water-glycol mixture, is now critical for uptime. Using IOThrifty solutions such as the LD1 Leak Detection System and LD Leak Detection Switch, engineers can deploy wide-area sensing, pinpoint leak location, and trigger immediate alarms to protect servers and maintain cooling continuity.
