Parameter and Rotork, market-leading global providers of mission-critical infrastructure monitoring systems and flow control and instrumentation solutions, are combining their respective technologies to improve leak detection, isolation, and mitigation in liquid-cooled data centers.
The collaboration is focused on combining Parameter’s real-time leak detection and monitoring technologies with Rotork’s compact, fast, and reliable electric actuators for valve control, according to the companies.
Together, these systems detect and isolate fluid leaks in real time, reducing the risk of equipment damage and unplanned downtime. This is essential as artificial intelligence compute demands push infrastructure to unprecedented power densities and heat loads.
“Liquid cooling is a non-negotiable for AI infrastructure, but it also introduces new operational hazards,” said Mike Blazes, CEO at Parameter. “Integrating high-sensitivity leak detection with fast, automated fluid isolation can mean the difference between a contained incident and a cascading failure.”
When a leak is detected, Rotork’s fast-acting, lightweight and compact, UL-certified Hanbay electric valve actuators enable fluid isolation at rack, row or system level, supporting long-term reliability in liquid-cooled data center environments.
Combined with Parameter’s sensing and control platforms, the solution supports early detection, rapid response and centralized oversight. These capabilities are increasingly demanded by hyperscalers, colocation operators, and enterprises, the companies said.
“Protecting uptime, assets and safety is a critical priority in liquid-cooled data-centre environments,” said Tony Vangasse, head of strategy, CPI, Rotork. “Our collaboration with Parameter brings together real-time leak detection and fast-acting electric valve actuation to support rapid isolation when issues arise, helping reduce risk and maintain reliable
By addressing leak detection and fluid isolation as a unified system rather than isolated components, Parameter and Rotork aim to help data center operators scale liquid cooling with greater confidence as AI infrastructure continues to expand, said the vendors.
