Crestchic has launched a new loadbank designed to test liquid-cooled data center infrastructure.

The company, a manufacturer and provider of load bank solutions, last week announced the launch of its 600kW Liquid Cooled offering.

Loadbanks are electrical test equipment used to simulate an electrical load in order to test systems without connecting to a normal operating load. In data centers, they can be used to test electrical systems ahead of commissioning as well as for maintenance.

Available for both sale and rental, the company said the single-vessel loadbank has been purpose-built to meet precision cooling needs, delivering accurate thermal validation and precision electrical testing of liquid-cooled infrastructure at scale.

The Loadbank delivers up to 648kW at 415V and is able to maintain a temperature accuracy of ±0.5°C, regardless of flow variation.

Crestchic said its testing software supports real-time monitoring, automatic load profiling, and clustering of up to 240 loadbanks for hybrid air-cooled and liquid-cooled test configurations.

“The move toward liquid cooling is accelerating as rack densities increase, particularly with AI and high-performance computing workloads,” explains Paul Brickman, commercial director at Crestchic. “Our new 600kW Liquid Cooled Loadbank has been designed from the ground up to serve this market, giving commissioning engineers the precision, reliability, and control they need to bring critical infrastructure online with confidence.”

Founded in 1983, UK-based Crestchic offers stackable 200kW loadbanks for data center testing, DC loadbanks, server emulator loadbanks, and a trailer-based loadbank for data center testing.
