With over a decade of experience in manufacturing power testing equipment, RST Electric has launched a high-performance 36kw 380v Liquid Cooled Load Bank. It is specifically designed for precise testing scenarios in data centers, laboratories, and telecommunications rooms, which have strict requirements for noise, space, and energy consumption. It is a new generation of silent, energy-efficient, and rack-mounted power testing equipment that replaces traditional air-cooled load boxes.
36kw 380v Liquid Cooled Load Bank can address the industry challenges of traditional air-cooled load boxes, such as high noise, high power consumption, large space occupation, and easy thermal attenuation during long-term testing. It adopts a closed-loop liquid cooling heat dissipation architecture, with a heat dissipation efficiency far exceeding that of air-cooled models. The operating noise is extremely low and the energy consumption is significantly reduced. The standard 6U rack-mounted structure can seamlessly integrate into the cabinet system. It is equipped with multi-level precise load adjustment, multiple modes of intelligent control, and full-dimensional safety protection, enabling stable completion of aging tests, full-load acceptance, and daily operation and maintenance inspections for UPS, generator sets, precision power supplies, and critical power equipment.
What are the core advantages?
1. Ultra-low noise operation
Abandoning the traditional fan cooling structure, the entire machine operates in a liquid cooling environment with a noise level of only 60dB. This is 20–35dBA lower than that of ordinary air-cooled load boxes, fully meeting the silent requirements of scenarios such as laboratories, office computer rooms, and data centers, and will not cause environmental noise pollution.
2. Significant energy saving and consumption reduction
Relying on the superior specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of liquids, the 36kw 380v Liquid Cooled Load Bank has higher cooling efficiency and lower auxiliary power consumption. The overall energy consumption is 30%–50% lower than that of equipment of the same specification with air cooling. Long-term high-frequency testing can significantly reduce the electricity cost and operation expenses of enterprises.
3. Rack-mounted compact body
Using the standard 6U 19-inch cabinet size, the entire machine has a compact and regular structure. It can be directly installed on the rack without the need to reserve large cooling space, perfectly adapting to the layout requirements of high-density computer rooms, small laboratories, and precision testing stations.

It displays core data such as voltage, current, power, power factor, inlet and outlet water temperature, and water pressure in real time. The operation status is transparent and visible, facilitating operators to monitor in real time, identify abnormalities, and record test data.
3. Can Connect to Automation System
The 36kw 380v Liquid Cooled Load Bank supports the expansion of multiple communication protocols and can be connected to the upper computer to achieve remote start/stop, gradient loading, automatic data storage and report export, meeting the requirements of intelligent and unmanned testing in laboratories.
Safety protection
1. Comprehensive Electrical Safety Protection
It is equipped with multiple protection mechanisms such as short circuit, overcurrent, overheating, insufficient water pressure, and emergency shutdown. Once any abnormality is detected, it will automatically cut off power and stop the machine, thereby preventing equipment damage and safety risks at the root.
2. Leak-proof Design for Liquid Cooling Circuit
The water interface is equipped with a sealing protection device. 100% water pressure resistance test is conducted at the factory to eliminate the risk of leakage, ensuring the clean and safe operation of the equipment in the computer room, and preventing secondary pollution.
3. Extended Equipment Lifespan through Low Temperature Operation
Constant temperature liquid cooling cooling significantly reduces the thermal stress of components, avoiding repeated aging under high temperatures. Compared to air-cooled models, it effectively extends the overall machine lifespan and significantly reduces the frequency of equipment replacement and maintenance.
