Case Studies
United States: East Coast Co-Location Data Center
Envirotestingfordatacenters deployed thermal imaging diagnostics across 20 server aisles. The solution detected misaligned airflow management, leading to a 12% reduction in cooling energy use and immediate remediation of three overheating PDUs before failure.
United States: California Telecommunications Hub
Our fixed thermal imaging system integrated with the client’s SCADA platform identified overheating power cables and failing HVAC performance during peak loads. Early action helped them avoid a projected $150,000 in equipment and data interruption.
Canada: National Financial Institution’s Tier III Data Facility
Envirotestingfordatacenters implemented a routine thermal inspection program using GAO Tek’s handheld thermal cameras. Over a 6-month period, multiple faulty breakers and thermal imbalances in switchgear cabinets were identified and replaced, boosting compliance and performance uptime.
