ThermION Hybrid Loadbanks
Industry’s First Modular Thermal
Emulator for DCLC Systems
The Refroid ThermION Hybrid Loadbanks is the industry’s first cartridge-based thermal emulator purpose-built for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling (DCLC) systems. It allows precise and repeatable thermal testing of high-density rack cooling infrastructure—without requiring live IT hardware—making it essential for commissioning, development, and R&D environments.
Each modular cartridge delivers a steady 13.5 kW of thermal load, enabling realistic emulation of heat densities up to 135 kW per rack as seen in AI and HPC deployments. Whether you’re validating a new data hall or tuning cold plate hydraulics, the Hybrid Loadbank makes thermal performance predictable, scalable, and safe.
