Liquid cooling cabinets · 20–50 kW

Liquid cooling,
without the machine room.

One sealed cabinet, 20–50 kW — plug-and-play for hospitals, campuses and edge sites.

The market gap · verified 2026-04

One chart, the whole company

Air micro-DCs stop at ~10 kW; data-center liquid starts at 70 kW — as components, not cabinets. The 20–50 kW middle is the entire product. Drag your load and see where it lands.

What's inside, down to the coupling

Your servers slide in and blind-mate through an ORv3-spec manifold and universal UQD disconnects — one sealed loop, leak-monitored end to end. Every part on this schematic links to its public derivation.

Interface ledger →

20–50 kW, served by no one

Air micro-DCs end at ~10 kW; DC liquid starts at 70 kW as parts. We build exactly the in-between, turnkey.

Open by interface

ORv3 blind-mate + UQD couplings: any OEM's liquid-ready servers fit. No lock-in by contract or parts book.

Deploy, not construct

A closed loop rejects heat to room air. No chiller, no water lines — power and network are all a site needs.

Honest engineering

Derating curves, room-load worksheets, schematics-not-renders — published before you ask.

Said plainly

  • An L2A cabinet is a heat mover: your room’s AC must extract ≥ 1.1 × full IT load. We publish the worksheet before you buy.
  • Cooling capacity roughly halves from 25 °C to 35 °C room air. Any vendor not showing you the derating curve is hiding it.
  • Every diagram here is a schematic. No product photographs until the demo unit exists.

Derived in the open

Every number on this site is derived in public on our knowledge hub — load budgets, room loads, derating physics, standards tracking:

Built on open standards — nothing proprietary between you and your servers
