Overview

Integrate the module and its site interfaces

Liquid-cooled computing cabinets, CDUs and supporting air cooling share a prefabricated enclosure. Outdoor dry coolers and site utility connections complete the system.

Computing enclosure

Coordinate the container layout

Arrange computing and network cabinets with the CDU, supporting cooling and service access.

Liquid interfaces

Connect the rack and facility circuits

Define the secondary pipework, coolant requirements and primary-side connections to the dry coolers.

Air-side heat

Provide residual air cooling

Select in-row cooling for the portion of the rack heat released into the enclosure air.

Site installation

Plan delivery and connections

Confirm the foundation, lifting route, utility interfaces and maintenance clearances before delivery.

Reference configuration

Additional IT fields from the reference configuration
Source fieldSource value
IT Rack Qty48

The source lists IT Rack Qty as 48 separately from six computing cabinets. It does not define the counting basis for this field; 48 is retained as printed and is not interpreted as a server count.

Refrigerant-pump in-row PAC units remove the residual air-side heat load.

This example is not a fixed bill of materials. Final equipment selection, capacity and redundancy depend on the IT requirements and site operating conditions.

Technology

Inside the system

Designed for factory integration and staged growth

Prefabricated delivery brings the computing enclosure, cooling and power together before the module arrives on site. Standardized manufacturing and complete system integration support shorter construction cycles and flexible expansion.

  • Pre-install and test the integrated systems at the factory.
  • Coordinate module manufacturing with civil works and utility preparation.
  • Use repeatable modules for staged capacity expansion.
  • Confirm transport, lifting, external connections and final commissioning as part of the delivery plan.

The complete liquid-cooling equipment chain

The portfolio connects rack-level liquid cooling to coolant distribution, outdoor heat rejection and system monitoring. It includes both cabinet and immersion approaches; the reference configurations on this page use liquid-cooled cabinets.

  • In-house service, development, manufacturing and delivery support the complete equipment chain.

The 2.0 MW CDU figure belongs to the overall portfolio illustration. It is not the rated capacity of the HP-CDU800T or HP-CDU600R units in these reference configurations.

The manifold figure and drip-free connector description require confirmation for the selected models and operating conditions. The original diagram also describes its dry cooler as maintenance-free; service requirements must follow the selected equipment's maintenance instructions.

Primary cooling and secondary rack circuits

The architecture separates the primary cooling-source arrangement from the secondary cold-plate arrangement. Both modular-room and container deployments use these distinct parts of the cooling system.

  • Primary cooling-source arrangement — dry cooler, liquid-cooling CDU and dual-source fan wall.
  • Secondary cold-plate arrangement — liquid-cooled cabinets and prefabricated pipework.
  • The project configuration determines the selected equipment, interfaces, water temperatures and residual air-cooling provision.
