2.5 MW liquid-cooled computing integration

Twenty liquid-cooled racks, one centralized CDU, the piping network, switchgear and a dry cooler, integrated on a common base frame and delivered as one indoor system.

Challenge

A 2.5 MW compute block needs racks, coolant distribution, heat rejection and power switching to arrive as one coordinated system rather than as separate packages integrated on site.

System architecture

LINKWAVE engineered the block around a single centralized CDU. Racks, manifolds and the piping network were assembled on a shared base frame, so hydraulic connections between rack and CDU were made and checked at the factory.

  1. 20Liquid-cooled racks
  2. 1Centralized CDU
  3. 1Piping network
  4. 1Dry cooler
  5. 1Switchgear cabinet
  6. 1Base frame

LINKWAVE scope

  • Liquid-cooled racks20
  • Centralized CDU1
  • Piping network1
  • Dry cooler1
  • Switchgear cabinet1
  • Base frame1

Engineering highlights

  • One centralized CDU serves all twenty racks.
  • Racks, CDU and switchgear share one structural base frame.
  • Rack-to-CDU piping completed before shipment.
  • Heat rejected to a dry cooler supplied within the same scope.

Delivery

Detailed design, fabrication, assembly, testing and factory acceptance were completed before packaging and shipment.
