Data Centers Fuel cell
11/18/2025

Data centers around the world are expanding rapidly as demand for dependable electricity continues to grow. Traditional utility grids often struggle to provide the consistent, high‑quality power these facilities need to maintain uptime and protect critical digital infrastructure.

Advanced on‑site power technologies are helping bridge this gap by delivering stable, resilient energy directly at the facility. These systems operate independently of grid fluctuations, reduce environmental impact, and support industries such as cloud computing, healthcare, manufacturing, and more.

Barksdale’s Unique Contribution

To support these modern power platforms, Barksdale provides specialized pressure switches engineered to meet the strict demands of on‑site energy generation systems.

Barksdale specified its GMSPS pressure switch for one of our customer's natural gas fuel cell systems, securing special agency approvals for propane and gas applications. These switches serve as a core element of our customer's “Fuel Trap” system enabling:

  • Precise detection of abnormal pressure conditions

  • Rapid systems protection response ensuring uptime for data centers

  • Enhanced system integrity and performance through a dual-switch design

Why Barksdale Stands Out

Barksdale is likely the only manufacturer offering this approved series—making us uniquely positioned for this application and reinforcing our commitment to innovation and reliability.
