A Leak Detection System is a monitoring solution designed to identify the presence of unwanted fluid or gas leakage within a controlled environment. It serves as an early warning system to protect buildings, industrial plants, data centers, and residential spaces from potential damage caused by leaks.
These systems are engineered to continuously monitor critical areas where leaks are most likely to occur, such as:

How Leak Detection Systems Works
When a leak is detected, the system immediately triggers alerts through:
Audible alarms
Indicator lights
Remote notifications via SMS, email, or integration with building automation platforms
In more advanced setups, the system can also activate automatic shut-off valves to stop the flow of liquid or gas, preventing further damage or hazardous situations.
Technology & Sensors
Specialized sensors: Installed at key points or laid out as sensing cables, capable of detecting even small amounts of fluid.
Fluid differentiation: Sensors can distinguish between water, oil, chemicals, or gases depending on the application.
Continuous monitoring: Ensures leaks are detected immediately to minimize risk.
Applications
Leak detection systems are widely used in environments where uninterrupted operation and safety are critical:
Server rooms and data centers
Commercial and residential buildings
Industrial and manufacturing facilities
Critical infrastructure installations
Key reasons why these systems are needed:
In summary: Leak detection systems are not just a precaution—they are a proactive investment in safety, operational continuity, and asset protection, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum reliability.
An Industrial Process Chiller is made up of several essential components that work together to regulate temperature and ensure smooth operation. Each part plays a crucial role in the refrigeration cycle:

Protect your vital business or home infrastructure with CMR’s liquid leak detection sensors – designed to interface with your existing building systems and provide early warnings when water, fuel, or chemical leaks occur.
If you already use a Building Management System to manage your premises’s alarms and other infrastructure, our liquid leak sensors can easily be added to your security system. CMR’s products enable you to add fluid leak detectors as another layer of protection to your assets, a protection that is often overlooked but can prove critical.
Water, fuel, and chemical leak detection
The three types of liquid sensor manufactured, supplied, and installed by CMR include a sensor to detect water leaks; but where fuel, oil or chemical leak detection is required the OSP and PPS products can be used. The versatility of these water leakage sensors ensures that there will be a solution to your application’s requirements.
CMR recommends the use of fluid leak detectors wherever water, fuel, oil, or chemicals are stored or transported and could risk coming into contact with electrical wiring, paper filing systems, or other sensitive items. This could include server rooms, oil tanks, plant rooms, wet rooms, and many more.
Liquid leak detection cable
CMR sensors use a special type of cabling to surround potential risk zones. When a liquid comes into contact with the water sensing sensor cable, the alarm relay is triggered. The alarm relay gives a volt free contact output which enables it to be used with all types of alarm system.
CMR are experts at modifying our offerings to suit your needs, and we understand that each situation is different. That is why we offer a variety of liquid leak alarms – including flashing beacon, audible alarms, SMS text messaging services, or even instant water mains shut off valves.
Room temperature alarms are designed to alert staff when a room containing sensitive equipment are becoming too hot or cold, thereby preventing expensive damage. All units contain volt free contacts for onward signalling to maintenance rooms, gate houses, building management system or telephone speech diallers. To provide simplicity and reliability our sensors are time proven electro mechanical devices.
Our alarms are suitable for:-
Server rooms
Cold store rooms
Archive stores
Blood or medicine stores
