HPC Cooling Solutions

Tailored Strategies for Every Workload

The Cooling Module provides high-quality thermal management, ensuring your servers run at optimal performance while preventing downtime and protecting hardware, data, and energy efficiency. Because there is no one-size-fits-all solution, every project begins with a regional climate calculation to significantly reduce PUE and operational costs. We determine the ideal balance between sustainable ambient cooling and high-capacity mechanical refrigeration, ensuring the system is perfectly dimensioned for its specific environment.

Our cooling systems are designed for maximum flexibility, offering a hybrid configuration that combines the energy-saving benefits of an adiabatic dry cooler with the high-capacity performance of an integrated chiller. This dual-source approach allows the system to prioritise ambient “free cooling” during lower temperatures, while automatically engaging the mechanical chiller to maintain optimal server conditions during extreme heat or high-density AI/HPC workloads. By matching the cooling output to the real-time demands of the climate and the intended workload, we ensure a reliable, efficient, and future-proof data center ecosystem.

M-HOUSE: Controlling Modular Cooling

To control the cooling system, we provide an M‑House, a compact, prefabricated mechanical pod that delivers chilled‑water cooling for all server equipment in Kontena’s modular AI/HPC Whitespaces. It is the mechanical engine of the site; the M-House interfaces with the RDHx/DLC/CDU and dry-coolers/chillers to maintain optimal thermal conditions via a closed-circuit cooling system.

It’s engineered to maintain precise flow and pressure across the entire data center ecosystem. Paired with the cooler and chiller, the pumping skid is typically a closed-circuit system housing several pumps (primary and standby) that alternate to ensure peak reliability. The skid comes loaded with advanced features, including a pressurisation set, glycol measurement and dosing, pressure-based speed control, and local pump isolators, all managed via integrated PLC monitoring and control.

It integrates essential cooling systems into a factory‑tested, rapidly deployable module:

• Redundant pumps
• Water treatment
• Filtration
• Buffer vessels
• Pressurisation unit
