As liquid cooling becomes essential for high-performance and AI-driven workloads, the risk of leaks near sensitive electronic equipment grows. The right leak detection system isn’t just about sensing a leak—it’s about fast response, pinpoint accuracy, and smart integration. That all starts with choosing the right technology. 

PermAlert offers a versatile lineup of monitoring systems designed for a variety of liquid cooling applications, from large-scale immersion systems to individual server racks. 

 

Which Panel Fits Your Application?

 

Hyperscale Data Centers & Facility-Wide Monitoring

Recommended: PAL-TS® 

  • Ideal for immersive cooling systems and large liquid-cooled infrastructure
  • Monitors up to 4 zones, with pinpoint leak location accuracy (±2 ft)
  • Compatible with a range of fluids: water, glycol, dielectric, and hydrocarbons
  • FM 7745 approved for hydrocarbon detection
  • Integration-ready with BMS/DCIM via Modbus, BACnet, or dry contacts
  • Centralized control for thousands of feet of coverage 
  • 10” capacitive touchscreen for intuitive local access 
  • Suitable for facilities that prefer on-site interaction and system visibility 
  • Full integration and multi-zone support for larger configurations

 

Modular, Edge, or Mid-Sized Deployments

Recommended: PAL-XD® 

  • Compact design for localized leak detectio
  • Detects conductive and non-conductive liquids, including dielectric coolant
  • <30-second response time for hydrocarbon
  • Supports up to 500 feet of cable, great for isolated rooms or zones
     
  • Built-in relays and protocol support for smooth integration

 

 Rack-Level or Space-Constrained Environments

Recommended: Micro-Fluidwatch 

  • All-in-one leak detection module designed specifically for server racks and confined space
  • Small form factor with a highly flexible 2mm sensor cable
  • Detects any liquid (water, glycol, hydrocarbons, dielectric fluids) 
  • High temperature tolerance up to 180°F (82°C
  • Ideal for Direct-to-Chip (cold plate) cooling and dense AI compute setup
  • Quick installation, reliable detection where space is at a premium
