AKCP Enhances Data Center Protection with New All-in-One Air Quality & Particle Sensor

New AKCP's Air Quality & Particle Sensor Monitors for Particles, Volatile organic compounds (VOC), Nitrous oxides (NOx), Temperature, and Humidity to Protect Critical Facilities

KVMGalore today announced its support for new AKCP's Air Quality & Particle Sensor (AQS). This advanced sensor is designed to protect critical facilities and data centers by monitoring environmental factors that are often overlooked but vital to operational uptime.

Air Quality Monitoring – Solving the Invisible Cooling Crisis
While traditional temperature sensors can confirm if cold air is entering a server rack, they cannot explain why a server continues to overheat. The AQS fills this information gap by identifying high particulate counts. Dust buildup on heatsinks and internal components acts as insulation, preventing efficient heat transfer and forcing cooling systems to work harder than necessary.

Beyond dust, the Air Quality & Particle Sensor monitors volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). When these are present alongside incorrect humidity levels, they can create a "perfect storm" for the corrosion of sensitive metal elements within a facility.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications
The Air Quality & Particle sensor is a compact, highly precise unit designed for easy integration. Its monitoring capabilities include:
• Particulate Matter: Measures PM1.0, PM2.5, PM4.0, and PM10
• Mass Concentration: Ranges from 0 to 1,000 μg/m3 with ±10% precision
• Gas Monitoring: Detects CO2​ (up to 40,000 ppm), VOC Index (1-500), and NOx Index (1-500)
• Environmental Sensing: Tracks temperature (−10∘C to +50∘C) and humidity (0% to 90% RH)
• Durability: Features a lifetime of over 10 years thanks to dust-resistant Sheath Flow technology

Physical Design
The sensor is housed in a compact enclosure measuring approximately 3.04 x 2.43 x 1.28 in. (77.35 x 61.9 x 32.64 mm). It is designed for seamless deployment in any data center or critical infrastructure environment.
