OVERVIEW
Powerload is proud to introduce a breakthrough in load bank technology — a single compact, high-performance unit designed to meet the rigorous demands of colocation data centres. Delivering consistent, reliable, and safe testing capacity, Powerload ensures that your infrastructure operates at peak performance with the highest levels of protection and operational control.
The Powerload unit delivers a guaranteed heat output of 500kW while maintaining an impressively low operating weight of under 1000 kg. When drained, it is safely movable at less than 750 kg - ideal for raised floor systems within existing data centre infrastructure.
The compact design enables seamless integration within server rack cages and narrow access pathways, setting Powerload apart from bulkier competitors.
OPTIONAL VERSATILITY
The LB500i is compatible with a wide range of liquid cooling networks, including:
• General HVAC chilled water systems
• Softened or deionized water SFN networks
• PG25 direct-to-chip SFN systems — made safe and clean through a fully stainless-steel fluid path.
Its stainless-steel heat exchanger with 4” DN100 PN16 flow / return connections and integrated temperature control system ensures PG25 fluids stay below 45°C, preserving fluid integrity and avoiding common thermal degradation seen in competitor systems.
INTELLIGENT CONTROLS & CONNECTIVITY
Designed with user flexibility in mind, Powerload features a colour touchscreen 10.1” HMI with user-specific access levels and secure login. Larger display options are also available.
• Guaranteed 500kW output even under lower-end power supply tolerance.
• Multi-unit networking for large-scale, synchronised load testing.
• Sim card for remote diagnostics and support where no wireless or web access is available.
• Engineered for modern data centres.
• Web control connectivity for remote diagnostics & support from the PowerLoad technical team.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
PowerLoad are known for customising products for their clients’ specific needs, where we understand a lot of these will be on request and as project lessons learnt the current additional extras are:
• Upgrade Marechal single 400mm power connection points with disconnection interlock.
• Split-load electrical connections to accommodate multiple data centre tap-offs, eliminating the need to source a single 800A supply.
• Advanced Fluid distribution connection points – Bespoke manifold.
• Multi point commissioning trolley to allow simulation of flow and pressure drop of AI ready server racks.
• Lifting eyes for simplified overhead lifting and positioning.
• Bespoke prestart up inspections and maintenance agreements.
• Solid-State Switching.
