Walk-In Thermal Cycling Chamber for AI Data Centers

Evaluating Micro-Market Infrastructure Reliability and Fluid-Thermal Dynamics Under Dynamic Stress.Validating next-generation AI data center infrastructure requires a critical transition from component-level testing to macro-scale environmental qualification. When modular data center pods, multi-megawatt cooling distribution units (CDUs), and high-density row containments are deployed, they must withstand severe thermal cycling without systemic fluid leakage or power grid failure.

Sanwood's Walk-In Thermal Cycling Chamber for AI Data Centers addresses this structural safety gap. Engineered as a heavy-duty environmental test chamber and macro-scale climatic test chamber, it allows engineering teams to simulate full-row thermal containment profiles up to 150℃. By evaluating liquid and air cooling infrastructures under accelerated cyclic stress, it forces dynamic expansion flaws, valve anomalies, and high-voltage busbar micro-fractures to surface before final data center site commissioning.

Refrigeration System Of The Test Chamber

The refrigeration system of the test chamber is a complex and important system. The stability of the refrigeration system is crucial to the accuracy and reliability of the test results.

  • Sanwood Technology has developed a refrigerant hot gas defrosting technology, which effectively melts the frost on the evaporator by injecting high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant steam into the heat exchanger in the test chamber. This not only ensures that the evaporator does not frost, but also greatly reduces the energy consumption of the equipment.
  • The refrigeration unit adopts an internationally renowned brand.
  • Optimize the layout of the refrigeration system, and adopt VRF (refrigerant flow control) technology based on the PID cold end output principle to achieve low-temperature energy-saving operation, which can reduce energy consumption by 30% under low-temperature conditions.
  • The refrigeration system adopts a modular design, with low failure rate, few welding points, high refrigeration efficiency, good reliability, simple maintenance, and low maintenance cost.
