Ambient Temperature Monitoring
Monitoring ambient temperature can easily be done with the right temperature monitoring equipment. Ambient temperature is the temperature in and around the room. It’s generally done by placing temperature sensors in different areas to take an average temperature.
What is the ambient temperature? This is a tricky question that when answered correctly involves several answers!
How to Monitor Car Storage Environments
Filed under: environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, Security Monitoring, temperature monitoring, water leak monitoring
As a car aficionado, I love the idea of storing precious vehicles in the harshest of winter months, especially in a state like Maine. If I had my dream car (ahem, BMW M5) I would certainly put it in a place I know would keep my car safe from any harm. The question is, “How does a storage facility keep my car safe?” What precautions would it take to make sure Annabelle is safe? (yes, I named my fictional car) Implementing environmental sensors will certainly make me feel safe. Read more

Road Construction Temperature Monitoring
Filed under: environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, SecurityProbes, temperature monitoring
Monitoring road construction temperatures is imperative for paving and other important jobs. Considering spring and summer are short seasons in Maine, roadside construction needs to be efficient in their hard efforts so their work would have longevity. Knowing the temperature and having the ability to alarm on it is important for the maximum effective compaction of pavement. Read more

Today, let’s take a look at an alternative way to use an environmental monitoring device. Monitoring temperatures in a data center or your corporate office is not the only way to use a temperature and humidity sensor. There are plenty of other commercial uses for these products as well. Let’s look at how to use it for a more… chill environment. Read more

I recently ran into an article in the Chicago Sun-Times describing the peak efficient working conditions of an office worker. In the article they say the peak perfect temperature is 71 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. As I sit here shivering while grasping my hot cup of chai tea, I think, “That would be perfect right about now.” Read more

Monitor Airflow Around Critical Equipment
The Ravica Airflow Sensor is designed for systems that generate heat in the course of their operation and a steady flow of air is necessary to dissipate this generated heat. System reliability and safety could be jeopardized if this cooling airflow stops. Airflow Sensors monitor the circulation of air around critical equipment where a constant air-flow is required to maintain a consistent temperature and humidity status and reliable continual performance.
The Airflow Sensor is placed in the air stream path, allowing users to monitor the status of the flowing air. This device measures the presence or absence of air flow, then the sensorProbe environmental monitor displays the measurement using a graphical display via its web interface. Read more
Server Room Environment Moderated by Mother Nature
Filed under: airflow monitoring, Data Center, environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, temperature monitoring
Recently, I saw a interesting post on Life Hacker about how to moderate PC temperature. It reminded me of a blog that I wrote a while back that talked about recycling expelled heat from the server room and using it to heat the office. The Life Hacker blog post demonstrated a method of cooling an over-clocked PC with fresh air from outside.
Although I think there are a few engineering flaws in the post, the design and concept are stable.
Using natural resources to cool your server room is clearly the next logical step in making server rooms green. Read more
Environmental Monitoring with securityProbe Devices
Filed under: environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring, SecurityProbes, temperature monitoring
The SecurityProbe 5E works with every intelligent sensor in the Ravica family. With the recent enhancements to Ravica’s securityProbe environmental monitoring devices, we’ve been talking a lot lately about this versatile piece of hardware. In order to explain the device’s basic functionality, we created a list of generalized Q&A.
If you have more specific questions, we would love to hear from you. Read more

Avoid Damage Caused by Data Center Humidity
Filed under: Data Center, environmental monitoring, humidity monitoring
Agricultural experts in my hometown regularly uttered the phrase, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” In the data center environment, humidity can be an overlooked hazard. Both heat and humidity are threats that require attention in data centers.
Understanding how humidity in data centers affects electronics is an obvious requirement for Data Center Managers because it has a direct effect on a company’s bottom line. Ensuring that your business has ideal data center humidity levels impacts the lifespan of equipment and can decrease utility costs. Read more
