ACTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / April 14, 2025 / Associated Environmental Systems (AES), a leader in the environmental test chamber industry, is proud to introduce the QUANTUM WR-5246-40, an advanced walk-in test chamber designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-performance computing "HPC" and data center component testing.
As industries increasingly rely on HPC systems for AI, machine learning, and large-scale simulations, ensuring the reliability of these critical components under extreme environmental conditions has never been more essential. The QUANTUM WR-5246-40 is engineered to push the boundaries of thermal testing, offering up to 250kW high live load testing.To support the demands of server rack testing, this chamber was collaboratively designed and standardized with one of the top three HPC leaders, incorporating insights from multiple deployments, extensive field testing, and crucial feedback from field service teams.
Unparalleled Performance for HPC Testing Extremes
The QUANTUM WR-5246-40 is built to simulate real-world conditions that a data center could encounter. This chamber supports extensive testing for GPUs, CPUs, ASICs, and other high-power electronics. Key features include:
Seamless Server Rack Integration: The floorless design accommodates two full server racks to roll in and out with ease.
Precision Airflow Control: Airflow optimizes static pressure to analyze cooling efficiency in data center environments.
High-Power Load Capacity & Rapid Temperature Cycling: Accurate performance evaluation under extreme thermal conditions for demanding workloads.
Customizable Solutions: Tailored to the specific testing requirements of AI hardware manufacturers, our chambers can accommodate full-scale server racks and cooling systems.
Enhanced Visibility & Safety: Large multi-pane viewing windows with LED lighting for DUT monitoring. Interior emergency egress handle for operator safety.
Large-Scale Deployments: AES excels in designing and deploying lab layouts for large-scale HPC testing environments, considering factors like equipment flow, placement, and data acquisition to optimize testing conditions and efficiency.
