Implementation of an additional monitoring device to prevent failures of the cooling systems

Computer systems in a datacenter are designed to work best when the ambient temperature is around 20 Celsius degree. These requirements ensure that the datacenter has to be equipped with automatic ventilation and thermostatic systems. The systems keep temperature around equipment and components to a specified level, regardless of the amount of heat generation and variation of external temperature. The thermostatic process is achieved by automatic controlled of fans and chillers. This paper presents a device that trigger an alarm for the user because of the possible damaged that could arise if the system is not stopped or if the user is not intervening. The system is helping us in monitoring the datacenter in which we have installed a Grid system and the network system of the National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies, which is an important datacenter in the Nord-West part of Transilvania.
