Load testing solution: Crestchic Loadbanks, a global leader in load testing equipment, has announced its participation in the upcoming Data Centres Ireland event on November 20-21, 2024, at the RDS in Dublin. As the country’s largest data centre event, Data Centres Ireland offers a platform for industry leaders, tech providers, and innovators to explore trends, solutions, and best practices in critical infrastructure.
Crestchic will showcase the latest products in its portfolio of load banks and load-testing equipment. The new 200kW load bank from Crestchic is designed to address the increasingly complex energy demands of modern data centres, allowing operators to test their electrical systems, backup power solutions, and cooling infrastructures under simulated loads to ensure they can handle real-world demand without failure.
At just 1159mm x 876mm x 983mm the load bank has a small enough footprint for operators to link multiple machines and strategically place them at intervals around the hall. Multiple load banks can be configured and controlled using just one handheld digital controller, enabling operators to use up to 20 linked load banks (4MW) to verify that the cooling installation is operating to specification in the server hall and within safe parameters.
In addition to heat load testing, the units are invariably connected to Power Distribution Units (PDUs), facilitating testing of the data centre’s electrical infrastructure, including power to servers, switches, bus track power units, feed tracks, tap-offs, and other devices.
Speaking about the event Paul Long, Business Development Manager for Ireland, commented, “Given the rapid growth of Ireland’s data centre sector and the increasing demands on energy infrastructure, Crestchic’s loadbanks can play a pivotal role in supporting data centre uptime and operational integrity, Our solutions address a critical need for reliable, efficient, and safe load testing, which is critical to any high-performing data centre infrastructure.”
With a suite of products designed for diverse applications, including large-scale commissioning and regular preventative testing, Crestchic Loadbanks enables data centre operators to simulate real power loads and verify system performance.
Over the last 40 years, Crestchic has built a solid reputation as a leader in the design and manufacture of load banks, offering a wide range of solutions for industries including oil and gas, maritime, and critical power infrastructure. The company’s presence at the event underscores its commitment to providing innovative testing solutions tailored for Ireland’s expanding data centre sector.
Paul concluded “We’re looking forward to meeting with colleagues and customers from across the industry. If you have any questions about how load banks can help to reduce downtime in a data centre environment, please pop by stand 427 and speak to the team.”
