    Load testing from engineering to decommissioning

  • The Impact

    Data centre commissioning safeguards the reliability of the operations

Client:Leading data centre operator

Location:Sydney, Australia

Sectors:Data centres

The Challenge

Level 3 -5 commissioning tests on the CDU

A leading data centre operator needed to perform Level 3-5 commissioning tests on the CDU primary and secondary loops as part of their data centre extension and refurbishment. The testing required temperatures of up to 70°C and a power load of 1.2MW per loop. To achieve this, the customer required liquid cooled load banks to simulate real-world conditions.

Since the facility employed pioneering direct-to-chip liquid cooling for GPUs, contamination control was critical. Any contaminants introduced into the primary system could compromise performance, while the secondary system needed to remain as clean as possible. The customer needed a reliable partner with expertise in large-scale commercial data centre cooling projects, particularly those in sensitive environments. That’s why they turned to Aggreko.
