Containerized single-phase immersion cooling delivering 400 kW of IT capacity across 8 immersion tanks — built for PCIe GPU fleets in 4U 8-GPU servers: RTX 4090 / 5090, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition, H100, H200. Up to 512 GPUs per container, factory pre-integrated, with free cooling down to PUE ≈ 1.05 in the right climate.
You've seen the business case — modular blocks, fast monetization, inference-first economics. AC40 and AC45 are the Immersion Computing Units in that equation: a 40-ft or 45-ft container holding 8× A32 single-phase immersion tanks plus one 10 kW air-cooled rack. Servers sit fully submerged in dielectric fluid; each tank carries up to 50 kW with dual redundant CDUs, and all heat leaves the container on a warm-water loop at 32/37 °C. Everything is integrated and tested at the factory — on site you connect power, water, and network.
IT Load vs. Facility Load. 400 kW is what the servers draw. Total facility load is ~440–500 kW once cooling and auxiliaries are added — the gap is set by PUE, which depends on your site's climate. *Sites whose historical peak dry-bulb stays ≤ 24 °C run on pure dry coolers (free cooling, lowest PUE); hotter sites add a hybrid chiller. Always confirm which figure an "X MW" requirement refers to.
The whole server — GPUs, VRMs, NICs, DIMMs — is submerged in dielectric fluid. No cold plates to match to each SKU, no fans to fail, no hot spots. Up to 50 kW per 32RU tank, with both air-cooled servers retrofitted for immersion and immersion-ready designs supported.
Oil enters the tank at ≤ 35 °C and leaves at ≈ 43 °C; the facility loop runs at 32/37 °C. Where the historical peak dry-bulb stays ≤ 24 °C, dry coolers alone reject all heat — no compressors, PUE as low as ≈ 1.05. Hotter sites add a hybrid chiller that trims only the peaks.
Each A32 tank carries dual CDUs in full 2N — two pumps, plate heat exchanger, and filtration per CDU, hot-swappable in minutes without draining the tank. A single pump or CDU failure never stops the servers.
Both containers share the identical immersion core — 8× A32 tanks, the same oil loop, the same cooling rules. They differ in where the UPS lives.

Redundancy model. The container is the smallest redundancy unit: tanks are 2N on cooling internally, a single container has no internal IT redundancy, and system-level N / N+1 / 2N is built by adding containers.
The full engineering model is live and interactive — every number computed from the same physics engine our design team uses, from tank-level oil flow to container PUE.
