Remote valve actuation for data centers

Solutions for critical infrastructure

Elliott’s self-contained, mechanical remote valve actuation systems deliver unmatched reliability for data centers, with no external power needed, just manual control from safe distances. Data centers run nonstop with no room for downtime, but their huge size and power issues need strong backup plans. Elliott’s mechanical remote valve systems work without electricity, allowing operators to control valves safely from a distance.

Applications of Remote Valve Systems

Cooling loops: Large AI servers create massive heat. Use remote valve actuation and flexible shafts to bend around tight server rows and cables and adjust chilled water pipes or liquid cooling of chips in CRAC/CRAH units.

Fuel isolation: If power fails, diesel generators kick in. Manually close fuel valves from the control room to stop leaks or isolate problems fast.

HVAC/Fire suppression: Fires or floods could make work areas dangerous. Remote valve actuation shuts off air or water, keeping employees safe.

Key Advantages

Power independence: No electric or pneumatic dependency, which means our remote valve systems can survive blackouts.

Remote safety: Handwheels operate from a distance, making hard to reach corners accessible safely.

Durability: Military specifications for high-performance circuit breakers (500% overload) are vibration and shock proof.

Future Applications

AI growth means more local data centers, or edge sites, and new power sources. Elliott’s tough systems are ready.

Large facilities can span football fields. Rigid rod valve control systems can handle straight, long-distance valve control in clean server halls.

Small nuclear plants may power data centers off the grid. Elliott’s Uniflex remote valve actuation systems can withstand earthquakes and shocks inside reactor safety zones.

It’s common practice to submerge data center equipment into specialized fluid to dissipate heat. Backup valves remotely isolate leaks helping prevent downtime.
