24MW Dual-Line AI Liquid-Cooled Data Center Rack Test Facility (Texas)
Project Overview
- $156 Million Program Value
- 24 MW Campus Electrical System Capacity
- Liquid Cooled Racks + Hot-Aisle/Cold-Aisle Containment
- 120 Rack Test Positions
- Two test lines, each with 60 liquid-cooled rack positions for confidential electronics manufacturing customer
Project Overview
Summit designed two liquid-cooled test lines for an electronics manufacturing services customer, totaling 120 test positions at 200 kW per rack. Each line is served by CDU secondary cooling with dedicated per-rack drops sized for the full 200 kW test load.
Customer identity, site designation and product line are confidential and have been omitted in accordance with the terms of Summit’s engagement.
Complex Design Requirements
- 120 test positions at a uniform 200 kW per rack — among the higher sustained densities in Summit’s rack-test portfolio for a facility of this size
- CDU-served secondary cooling loops with per-rack manifold assemblies, flushing provisions and instrumentation at every drop
- 24 MW of test capacity engineered into a compact, two-line facility footprint
Summit Delivery — Responsiveness That Drives Customer Success
On a facility of this scale, speed matters as much as it does on Summit’s largest campus programs. Summit’s team moved quickly from design through construction support to get both 200 kW test lines commissioned and ready for production, giving this customer confidence that a smaller program receives the same responsiveness and technical depth as Summit’s multi-building work.
