Project support · Programme shapes, not client stories
Project Support — From CDU Loops to Storage Cooling
Three programme shapes, one engineering contact, and a scale reference you can check against your own rollout.
- NDA
- Drawings
- DFM
- T1
- FAI
- Ramp
No client logos. Ours is a programme you can repeat, not a story you have to trust.
Programmes are described by shape and scale; customer names stay off this site.
Every number on this page is an industry-published reference or a step in our own process — check it against your rollout.
Three programme shapes
CDU loop · rack distribution · BESS cabinet
CDU internal loops
Pump, heat exchanger and valve train inside one cabinet, with the interfaces checked against the manifold port row rather than against a component list.
Rack-level distribution
Vertical or horizontal manifolds across a row. Rack configurations published across this industry cover 42U, 48U, 50U and custom formats — the published set, not a list of our own. industry practice
BESS cabinet cooling
The same leakage discipline against a different cabinet geometry. There the governing figure is cell temperature spread rather than rack port count.
Each shape is quoted from the same intake list, so one reply can be read against another.
The first image is a rendering, the other two are photographs. None is a customer installation: no client site, name or logo appears on this page. The applications each shape serves are on the industries page.
The ladder, six steps
6 steps · NDA to ramp · one owner
Six rungs, read from the bottom. The marked one is the ramp, because that is the step the scale reference below is spent on.
01
NDA
Signed before drawings move in either direction. The drawing is what is being protected, so the drawing is what waits.
02
Drawings
Loop diagram, rack elevation, the fluid and the target ΔP come in — the configuration baseline the rest of the file is quoted against.
03
DFM
Machining, welding and sealing review comes back with redlines, not with a price only: the manufacturability note is the deliverable.
04
Prototype
A T1 lot is issued and checked against the drawing, so fit and seal are settled on parts.
05
FAI
First-article documentation is issued with the sample lot, and process documentation is maintained to an ISO 9001-aligned process. process capability
06
Ramp
Scale planning against the published reference of more than 100 servers fed by one rack manifold, with multi-rack rollouts scheduled by phase. industry practice
One engineering contact owns the file from NDA to ramp: the DFM redlines and the packing list reach the same desk.
What the intake needs
6 items · 4 technical
Loop diagram
Supply and return routing, branch count, and where the take-offs sit. Without it the port row has nothing to be laid out against.
Rack elevation
The rack standard and the U height. The baseline follows the published 42U, 48U and 50U family. industry practice
Fluid
The coolant you actually run, so seals and wetted materials are matched before a price is written.
Target ΔP
The pressure budget the loop is designed to. Port row and header sizing are checked against this figure.
Volume forecast
Annual quantity, used to book capacity rather than to open a discount tier. Nothing about the part changes with it.
Milestone dates
The dates the rollout is fixed to, so the ramp aligns to your commissioning order, not ours.
Send the intake as a set rather than a question: the replies are comparable only if the inputs are. Classification is on the contact page; the layout rules are in the design guides.
Scale reference
100+ servers · phased rollout · the review table
One rack manifold feeds more than 100 servers in the figure published across this industry — the reference a ramp is planned against. industry practice
Multi-rack rollouts are scheduled by phase, so the manifold supply follows the rack commissioning order. Reference configurations are documented for design review, in the same file as the drawing.
Your own numbers come from your elevation, not from ours.
Both artefacts above are renderings, not photographs of a customer's parts. Quoting a first article against the drawing it came from is set out on the capabilities page.
42U · 48U · 50U · custom
Start the project file with the intake list, not with a price request.
Send the elevation and the loop diagram and the file opens with the technical items already in it. The reply carries the port row drawn against them.
Request spec sheet One business day · English quote + a one-page spec sheetSend the elevation first; the port row follows from it.
