System Build

Built on a compact, industry-standard footprint (1.2 m × 0.8 m × 2.4 m). The system is designed to support both localized and distributed cooling topologies, enabling deployment at the rack level, row level, or within mechanical galleries while maintaining consistent hydraulic and control performance. Integrated coolant management continuously monitors fluid quality, ensuring long-term stability of the secondary loop and protecting system components.

A centralized control architecture, supported by a 12-inch HMI, enables coordinated operation, remote supervision, and group-level control across multiple units, simplifying commissioning and long-term operational management. The platform is optimized for high-temperature operation up to 45°C supply water and achieves a 3°C approach temperature (AT3), delivering efficient thermal transfer under high-density conditions. Built exclusively with European-sourced components, the system ensures manufacturing consistency, high serviceability, and seamless integration into modern liquid-cooling ecosystems, meeting the expectations of enterprise data center operators for reliable and scalable infrastructure.
