High-Power Liquid-Cooled Load Banks
Working Principle
Similarly converts electrical energy into heat via resistors, but uses liquid cooling instead of air cooling. Heat is carried away by a closed-loop coolant (typically deionized water or specialized cooling fluid), which then dissipates the heat into the atmosphere or a secondary cooling system through external heat exchangers (such as dry coolers or cooling towers).
Liquid Cooled Load Banks Key Features
• Simulates and tests data center liquid cooling systems: Acts as a testing platform by directly integrating the liquid-cooled load bank into the data center's liquid cooling loop (whether cold plate or immersion-based).
• Efficient and silent cooling: Liquids have a much higher specific heat capacity than air, offering extremely high cooling efficiency. The device operates almost silently as it contains
minimal internal fans.
• High power density: Due to efficient cooling, extremely high power (up to several megawatts or more) can be achieved in a compact footprint.
• Environmentally friendly: Heat is concentrated and managed, preventing thermal pollution in testing environments.
Typical Applications of Liquid-Cooled Load Banks
