Refroid Technologies Unveils Industry's First Hybrid Load Bank for Direct Contact Liquid Cooling (DCLC) Data Centers
PRNewswire
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 19: Refroid Technologies, a leader in advanced cooling solutions for data centers, today announced the launch of the industry's first hybrid load bank designed exclusively for Direct Contact Liquid Cooling (DCLC) environments. This groundbreaking solution enables data center operators, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and integrators to rigorously test and optimize their liquid cooling infrastructure by a concurrently simulating both liquid-side and airside loads.
* Pioneering Innovation Enables Comprehensive Testing of Both Liquid-Side and Airside Loads in Next-Generation Data Centers
Bridging the Validation Gap for DCLC Systems
Traditional load banks are tailored for air-cooled environments, leaving a critical gap in the testing and commissioning of DCLC-enabled data centers. Refroid Technologies' hybrid load bank addresses this challenge by:
* Simulating Real-World IT Workloads: Replicating heat loads transferred to the liquid cooling loop, ensuring rack level thermal infrastructure validation.
* Mimicking Airside Loads: Testing hybrid environments where DCLC coexists with traditional air-cooled infrastructure.
* Optimizing Performance Metrics: Allowing operators to measure Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), coolant flow rates, and thermal efficiency before live deployment.
Unlocking New Possibilities for Liquid Cooling Adoption
As data centers increasingly adopt liquid cooling for high-density compute workloads, there is a pressing need for accurate and scalable testing solutions. Refroid's hybrid load bank provides:
* Easy to Deploy & Configure: Deployed in place of IT server racks helps mimic Aisle deployment with ability to reconfigure Liquid to Air side thermal loading at Rack level and server level instances, providing flexibility - 60:40 / 70:30 / 80:20 etc.
* Comprehensive Performance Analysis: Validates heat removal efficiency under varied workloads.
* Risk-Free Deployment: Identifies potential cooling inefficiencies before live IT hardware installation.
* Industry Compliance & Future-Readiness: Supports adherence to evolving thermal management standards.
A Step Toward the Future of Sustainable Data Centers
"With this launch, we are solving a fundamental challenge for the liquid cooling industry-- effective pre-deployment testing," said Satya Bhavaraju, CEO of Refroid Technologies. "By concurrently simulating both liquid-side and Airside thermal loads, we enable data centers to fine-tune their cooling strategies, reduce risks, and maximize energy efficiency."
Availability
