Project case study (18kW rack-mounted load bank)
Deyang Rata Technology has successfully delivered an 18kW, 400Vac air-cooled resistive load bank to a leading data center in the Middle East. The unit was specifically designed to support airflow testing and cooling system verification within the facility.
Key Feature
● Adjustable Airflow Levels: 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100%, with a control accuracy of within ±2%.
● Advanced Protection: Equipped with an 80°C over-temperature alarm and automatic section cut-off at 90°C to ensure safe and reliable operation.
● High-Performance Cooling Fans: Customized DC 26V fans, with 10 units providing a total airflow of 5,570 m³/h.
● Switching System: Load step control realized through Schneider circuit breakers, ensuring durability and precise operation.
This load bank is primarily used to:
● Simulate electrical loads within the data center environment.
● Validate cooling performance of precision air-conditioning systems under controlled load conditions.
● Provide reliable testing data to optimize airflow distribution and thermal management.
Through this project, the client was able to verify the performance of their HVAC and cooling infrastructure, ensuring system stability and efficiency in high-demand conditions.
