Siemens modular solution for data centers

Compass Datacenters, which designs and constructs data center campuses for some of the world’s largest technolo gy companies, has signed a multiyear capacity agreement with Siemens to supply a custom modular medium-voltage skid solution. The solution consolidates the capabilities of multiple electrical components, including medium-voltage switchgear and transformers, into a single integrated unit which will enable Compass to build faster and at a lower total cost. The agreement guarantees delivery of up to 1,500 units over the next five years. This innovative design, developed by Siemens and Compass, dramatically reduces the time required to install critical power systems, enabling faster data center delivery during an era of unprecedented demand. Driven by the advancement of artifi cial intelligence (AI), continued progression of cloud computing, and the explosive growth of global data, the data center market is projected to grow by double digits through 2030. Siemens will deliver prefabricated modular units that include maintenance-free 8DJH 36 gas-insulated, arc-re sistant, medium-voltage switchgear and transformers. Conserving resources, the design of the switchgear reduces the need for maintenance and extends the service life of the equipment, while the compact design increases energy efficiency in operations. The custom skid solution creates a simplified and standardized design for easy deployment across various environments. siemens.com

Equilibar announces new sanitary valves

The FDO series expansion of sanitary fluid control valves and back pressure regulators provide precision required for biopharmaceutical and other aseptic processes with extremely low flow rate ranges. The FDO2 valve offers 1⁄4-in. ports; FDO3 offers 3⁄8-in. ports. The FDO4 1⁄2-in. valve is now available in a round format offering higher precision over a wider range of flow rates than the original

square design. The new FDO4 design enables gravity drainability for sanitary applications, however the old design is still available. FDO valves feature a multiorifice diaphragm-operated

technology to control pressure. The valves are pilot-con trolled which allows for easy automation. A membrane is the only moving part, responding instantly to changes in the system flow rate to maintain pressure. The valves are designed for use in applications requiring surface finishes, clean-in-place, drainability or USP Class VI materials. equilibar.com/sanitary
