Data Centers Breathe Easier With Less Oxygen

Here is a good idea, using oxygen-deprivation systems for your data center to reduce the risk of fire. I know what a lot of you are thinking right now and the answer is “No, you cannot use this on annoying co-workers”…well, unless there was a whole room full of them.

Wagner makes electric compressors that use a special membrane to remove some of the oxygen from the outside air, a system the company calls OxyReduct. The excess oxygen is exhausted, and the remaining nitrogen-rich air is pumped inside the data center.
