The Avtron Server Load Simulator Model SLS-10

is a self-contained, rack-mounted unit that simulates
the actual heat loading of a computer server.
The SLS-10 is designed for data center heat-load testing and server placement during the data center design
and construction stage. In todays
high power data center environments,
it is absolutely critical to design and
test the facility HVAC cooling system
prior to installation of the actual servers themselves. The Avtron Server
Load Simulator mimics the exact heat
output of the actual server under load
and has the same form factor and dimensions as the servers themselves,
whether they are conventional low
power density servers (2-6 KW per
rack) or the new high-density blade
servers (up to 24 KW per rack). This
real-world heat loading using actual
Avtron Server Load Simulators is far
more accurate and precise than using
conventional HVAC software simulation (without any heat loading).
Potential heating problems can be

easily identified and corrected using

the SLS-10 Server Load Simulator.

supply or from internal load power.

The SLS-10 draws in cool air through
its front side from the Cold Aisle.
The hot air exhaust is then discharged
through the rear of the unit into the
Hot Aisle. The unit also features
CFM Trim-Control to decrease the
Delta-T across the unit.

The Avtron Server Load Simulator

is rated for single phase 120, 208,
230, or 240 VAC input with a power
output up to 10 KW total. The 10 KW
total rating of the SLS-10 (in 240 VAC
mode) is greater than most competitive units! This saves time and money
when performing a data center server
load simulation since fewer units are
needed. The SLS-10 load simulator is
9U (15.75" [400]) high and designed
to fit into an industry standard rack(s).
Cold-side blanking panels (to prevent
recirculation of hot air) are available
as an option.

Avtrons extensive line of Load Bank

and Industrial Resistor Products are
solid performers used throughout
the world.

The Avtron SLS-10 is self-cooled with

two integral cooling systems (one per
channel) which operate from a 120
VAC, single phase external power
