DataFlow tanks are sized, configured, and monitored to the exact uptime and flow demands of Tier II, III, and IV data center infrastructure — not adapted from general industrial specs.
Multiple tanks manifolded with full isolation valves mean any unit can be inspected, maintained, or replaced without a single second of supply interruption to your critical systems.
Level sensors, temperature probes, pressure transmitters, and flow meters all wired to your BMS or SCADA platform. Every cubic foot of reserve accounted for in real time.
Solutions
Cooling water makeup, fire suppression reserve, and emergency water supply — DataFlow tanks are specified to your hydraulic calculations and Uptime Institute tier requirements.
Chilled water makeup tanks, cooling tower basin reserves, and emergency cooling supply storage. NSF 61 lined for water quality compliance. Sized to your facility's thermal load and the maximum allowable supply interruption specified in your data center's SLA.
On-site fire water storage to NFPA 22 — sized to your sprinkler hydraulic demand, hose stream allowance, and required duration. Multiple tanks manifolded in parallel provide redundant supply to your fire pump station with full N+1 isolation capability.
System Design
DataFlow systems are designed from the start for the one thing data centers cannot tolerate — an unplanned supply interruption. Redundancy, monitoring, and maintainability are built into every configuration.
N+1 tank configurations with full isolation valves on every unit. Any tank can be taken off-line for inspection without interrupting supply to critical systems.
Ultrasonic level sensors, temperature probes, and pressure transmitters with 4-20mA or Modbus outputs wired directly to your BMS or DCIM platform.
Automatic fill valves maintain reserve volume at all times. High/low level alarms integrated with facility SCADA. Audible and visual local annunciation.
Vertical Stacking
DataFlow tanks are engineered to stack directly on top of one another — ideal for data center campuses where mechanical yard space is at a premium. Stack two or three units to multiply your cooling water or fire suppression reserve without expanding the site footprint.
Heavy steel saddle frames transfer full hydrostatic load from the upper tank skid directly to the lower tank structure — no additional civil foundation required beyond a standard grade pad.
A short external riser equalizes the two chambers. Fill, vent, instrumentation, and supply piping run as a single integrated circuit to your BMS and pump station — one connection regardless of stack height.
Add a second or third unit on top — each welds flush with zero gap, presenting as one tall vessel. No new concrete, no new yard space. Phase your cooling or fire reserve capacity as your campus scales.
Specifications
Every DataFlow tank is specified against your data center's uptime tier, thermal load, hydraulic calculations, and compliance requirements — not a catalog SKU.
Certified epoxy interior lining for potable water contact and water quality compliance. Chemically inert options for process cooling chemistries.
4-20mA, Modbus RTU/TCP, or BACnet instruments. Full wiring termination to your facility DCIM or BMS — factory-tested before delivery.
Spray-foam insulation with aluminum jacketing and self-regulating electric heat trace. Required for outdoor installations and cold-climate data campuses.
Parallel tank configurations with full-port butterfly isolation valves, check valves, and pressure gauges on every unit. Isolation without interruption.
24" bolted roof manway, fixed ladder with safety cage, OSHA guardrail on solid walkable roof deck. Meets OSHA 1910.23 for confined space entry.
Float-actuated or solenoid-controlled fill valve. High/low level switches wired to facility alarm panel. Local level indicator gauge.
Supply, return, drain, overflow, and instrument nozzles positioned precisely to your P&ID and equipment layout — not standard templates.
Blast-clean, prime, and finish in any color. High-build, low-VOC exterior coating. Color-coded piping and valve identification available.
Standards & Compliance
All fire suppression reserve tanks designed to NFPA 22 — coordinated with your sprinkler hydraulic calculations and AHJ requirements.
FM Global approved configurations available for FM-insured data center facilities — coordinated with your FM data sheet and loss prevention requirements.
Cooling water storage sizing coordinated with ASHRAE Handbook of HVAC Systems and Equipment and your facility's thermal load calculations.
Professional Engineer stamped drawings and calculations for building permit, AHJ submittal, and Uptime Institute Tier Certification documentation.
Applications
Multi-million-gallon cooling water reserves and fire suppression storage for hyperscale campuses — redundant, monitored, and expandable as the campus grows.
Reliable on-site water storage for colocation operators who must demonstrate Tier III or IV uptime capability to enterprise tenants and auditors.
On-premise data center water storage for corporate campuses, federal facilities, and DoD installations with specific security and compliance requirements.
Compact DataFlow tanks for edge and regional data center locations where municipal water pressure or flow is insufficient for fire suppression demand.
Water storage for NOC and carrier hotel facilities requiring continuous operation with no tolerance for supply interruption or pressure loss.
Thermal management water storage and fire suppression reserve for large-scale battery energy storage systems and UPS infrastructure.
