Key Features
True Hybrid Simulation
AI racks are not just liquid cooled or just air cooled. They are often both. This unit provides 150 kW of liquid cooling and 100 kW of air cooling in a single chassis, allowing you to stress test your facility’s water loop and HVAC systems simultaneously.
Stress Testing at Scale
By networking multiple units via Modbus TCP, you can simulate multi megawatt AI clusters, verifying that your electrical busway and cooling plant can handle the massive step loads typical of AI training runs.
Precision Control
Featuring a central PLC controller with a 10 inch HMI, you gain granular control over load steps down to 1 kW. This allows you to simulate idle, training, and inference workloads with plus or minus five percent loading accuracy.
Zero Contamination Design
The liquid pipeline is constructed from SS304 stainless steel, ensuring that your facility’s critical water loop, including CDUs and cold plates, is never exposed to rust or particulate matter during testing.
Why is the 250 kW Hybrid Load Bank is the Industry Standard for AI Commissioning?
Simulates High-Density Reality
The industry’s first integrated system designed to simulate the combined thermal load of AI and high-performance computing racks, including both liquid and air.
Accelerated Rollout
Using these units can reduce commissioning time by up to 50 percent. This allows operators to validate and optimize white space before deploying high-value compute infrastructure.
Precision and Resolution
The units deliver high precision, often at 1 kW and 1 kVA resolution. This level of accuracy supports the demanding requirements of AI server deployments.
Modular Scalability
The modular design allows up to 170 units to be networked together. This makes it possible to simulate entire data halls or AI factories under a single control platform.
Hybrid vs. Using Separate Air and Liquid Load Banks
Commissioning agents prefer the hybrid solution over a “split” setup (using one air-cooled and one liquid-cooled unit together) for several strategic reasons:
Feature
Integrated Hybrid Load Bank
Separate Air + Liquid Units
Operational Complexity
Low: Single “plug-and-play” unit manages both loops.
High: Multiple pieces of equipment require separate setup and power.
Control System
Unified: Centralized PLC monitors temperature, flow, and power in tandem.
Fragmented: Harder to synchronize load steps across different interfaces.
Accuracy
High: Mirrors the exact ratio of air-to-liquid heat rejection of AI server.
Variable: Risks uneven heat distribution or inaccurate load profiles.
Floor Space
Compact: Designed to fit through standard data hall doorways.
Bulkier: Occupies more “white space” and complicates floor loading.
Risk Management
Reduced: Single point of failure; integrated safety alarms for low flow/over-temp
Higher: Requires manual configuration between two separate cooling circuits.
Why Rent this Hybrid Load Bank?
Eliminating Maintenance Complexity
This load bank is not a simple toaster. It is a complex hydraulic and electrical system that requires ongoing maintenance and oversight. The internal liquid piping requires regular flushing and chemical treatment to prevent algae growth, scaling, and corrosion during storage. To maintain its 0.5 class display accuracy, sensors for flow rate, pressure, and temperature must be regularly calibrated. The PLC and central controller firmware also require periodic updates to ensure continued compatibility with modern building management systems. When you rent, C2C Power solutions does the maintenance for you.You get a clean, calibrated, plug-and-play unit every time you rent.
Protecting Your Bottom Line
Load banks are typically used intensively for two to four weeks during commissioning and then sit idle for months or even years. Avoid tying up capital in hardware that gathers dust most of the year and continues to depreciate. Instead, the rental cost can be passed directly to the specific project budget as an operating expense, rather than amortizing a capital investment over a ten year period
