New load banks to test CDUs and other data center equipment
Thermon Group Holdings has launched two new load banks to simulate liquid-cooled power and heat requirements.
The Texas-based company, which provides thermal management, power distribution, and environmental controls products, recently announced the availability of its new Poseidon Liquid Load Bank (for US markets) and Pontus Liquid Load Bank (for non-US markets).
The new offerings are designed to accurately simulate real-world thermal and electrical demand, providing component test validation for data centers and other high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
Useful for data center commissioning and start-up, the offerings serve as essential test validation systems for critical data center infrastructure, including coolant distribution units, uninterruptible power supplies, and back-up power generators.
The portable Poseidon and Pontus load banks offer a capacity rating up to 600kW; the modular design has the ability to connect over 100 units in series.
"The launch of the Poseidon and Pontus Liquid Load Banks marks a significant milestone for Thermon - greatly expanding our opportunity within the rapidly growing data center market," said Bruce Thames, president & CEO of Thermon. "As data centers evolve to meet the intense demands of AI and HPC, the need for precise, reliable, and efficient validation tools is paramount. Our new liquid load banks deliver unparalleled performance, mobility, and ease of use, reinforcing Thermon's commitment to providing innovative solutions that empower our customers to build and operate the most robust and efficient critical infrastructure."
Founded in 1954, Thermon provides heating solutions to a number of industries. The new load banks are the company’s first products targeting the data center industry.
