Reliable fire safety for batteries

Li-ion batteries have become the first choice for applications that require rechargeable batteries, like UPS and Energy Storages. They have higher specific capacity, energy density, and power density than lead–acid batteries. If the Li-ion battery is short-circuited or exposed to high temperature, exothermic reactions can be triggered, resulting in a self-enhanced increasing temperature loop known as “thermal runaway” that can lead to battery fires and explosions.

Optimize your cooling performance

As much as 40% of the total operational costs for a data center come from the energy needed to power and cool the massive amounts of equipment. A data center needs to be cooled properly and need based regulated.

Find out more about how to optimize your cooling.

Everything and everyone is getting connected. Data centers have the highest growth rate of any infrastructure market and we have the right offering and knowledge to help you to increase your competitiveness.

Whitepaper: How forecasting can deliver incredible value to your data center.
There’s a lot that goes into managing a data center. Rising complexity due to the thousands of applications and devices plus the absence of knowledge-transfer between stakeholders makes daily management an operational challenge. Get your free copy of the whitepaper and discover how forecasting can help you to improve your data center management.
Whitepaper: Avoiding the Five Bottlenecks of Data Center Planning and Management
A data center is, for all practical purposes, a factory. It consumes resources, applies human labor, produces exhaust, requires continual attention, and is replenished by fresh inventory. We’ve embraced the modern metaphors of data center revolution and digital transformation to the extent that we forget a data center is an engine in a complex supply chain – just like any other factory. This Data Center Knowledge report suggests a response plan that addresses, stage by stage, the constraints and inefficiencies that these bottlenecks impose.
Whitepaper: How can gas turbine technology make your data center future proof?
More and more data – a challenge for the data center industry, the factories of the 21st century. Captive on-site power generation can play an important role in ensuring maximum uptime and improving the operator's competitiveness. With our gas turbine technology we provide reliable, efficient and sustainable solutions for on-site power generation.
