Engineered for AI-Driven Data Centers

The AMAX Compact Data Center Solution is specifically designed to support high-density AI and GPU workloads. Its advanced liquid cooling technology, integrated intelligent management systems, and modular design optimize cooling performance for modern data centers, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.

Compact Data Center Solution

The CDCS is ideal for small and medium-scale on-premises deployments, providing efficient cooling in compact, high-performance environments. The solution features a closed-circuit cooling system, ensuring that the process fluid remains clean and contaminant-free while effectively dissipating heat through isolated circuits. This design minimizes maintenance needs and maximizes cooling efficiency.

Closed-Circuit Cooling Tower System

At the heart of the solution is a closed-circuit cooling tower system. This setup utilizes a two-stage fluid circuit:

  1. External Circuit: A cooling medium circulates over the coil, interacting with outside air to facilitate heat dissipation.
  2. Internal Circuit: The process fluid circulates within the coil, transferring heat to the external medium, which is then dissipated into the atmosphere. This closed-loop system ensures that the internal circuit is isolated from contaminants, maintaining the integrity of the cooling process.

High-Performance Cooling for Servers

Our solution includes robust cooling systems designed to support high-performance servers:

  • Leakage Detection: Integrated sensors monitor the system for leaks, ensuring operational safety.
  • Noise Control: The system operates quietly, with noise levels kept under 70dB.
  • Coolant Specifications: The cooling system operates with a specialized coolant mixture, maintaining temperatures up to 40°C with a specified flow rate, and achieving a coolant temperature delta of 10°C.

Manifold and Cold Plate Design

The CDCS employs custom-designed manifolds and cold plates to ensure efficient cooling distribution across servers:

  • Manifold Design: The manifold is designed to achieve uniform cooling distribution, supporting both CPU and GPU cooling with precise flow rates.
  • Cold Plate Design: The cold plates are tailored to the thermal needs of high-performance components, ensuring effective cooling across various server configurations. The design supports a maximum surface temperature of 62.8°C, with a cooling capacity sufficient to handle high thermal loads.

AMAX Patented Intelligent Liquid-Cooling Module

AMAX Patented Intelligent Water-Cooling Module

The intelligent liquid-cooling module is a key component of the Compact Data Center Solution, offering hybrid cooling modes that adapt to varying environmental conditions:

  • Cooling Modes: The module supports multiple cooling modes, including energy-saving and high-performance modes, as well as a hybrid mode that combines both for optimal efficiency.
  • Cooling Capacity: supporting power densities of up to 63 kW per rack while delivering remarkably low Power Usage Effectiveness  (PUE).

Smart LC Central Management

The Smart LC solution includes a central management dashboard that provides real-time insights into the system’s performance:

  • Key Metrics: The dashboard tracks real-time PUE, environmental health, power consumption, and cooling unit status, along with system alerts.
  • Multi-Rack Support: The management system is scalable, supporting multiple racks for comprehensive data center monitoring.
