Leverage the Eaton Boyd Thermal rack emulator to verify leak-free piping and Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) operation, check electrical input power wiring and delivery, and most importantly, simulate the pressure drop of the server rack to validate the CDU performance. Customers that use the rack emulator can expedite AI Data Center installations and performance validation, bringing more processing power online faster.
A rack emulator is a piece of equipment designed to test and verify the thermal and flow performance of a coolant distribution unit prior to IT equipment installation. A rack emulator sits in the same footprint as a rack and mimics the thermal and flow load output of a real rack.
A rack emulator mimics the thermal load and pressure drop of a rack of IT equipment. A series of high-powered heaters generate heat equivalent to the amount created by AI processors, memory and other electronics that would be connected to the Technology Cooling System (TCS) liquid cooling loop. A control valve adjusts to match the pressure drop the TCS loop would experience across the entire liquid system within the rack, from the liquid cooling loop, through quick disconnects, and out through the manifolds. In addition, commissioning personnel can test and validate input power with the rack emulator prior to AI rack installation.
Eaton's Boyd Thermal rack emulator fully simulates AI server rack function and footprint, as opposed to traditional load banks that only force heat through a system. Our rack emulator is a dynamic load that can imitate a server rack during operation. This enables commissioning professionals to ensure complex liquid cooling systems are correctly setup to meet performance requirements.
