Power Meets Precision: High-Density Modular Data Center for NVIDIA NVL Deployments (1–2 MW)

Purpose-Built High-Density Infrastructure for Blackwell-Class AI Workloads

At Eliovp, we’re engineering a new class of AI infrastructure. Our advanced modular platform is built to also support NVIDIA’s cutting-edge NVL architecture, from the efficient NVL4 to the ultra-scale NVL72, enabling deployments that range from distributed edge inference to full-stack model training at hyperscale.

Designed to meet the increasing thermal and power demands of next-generation GPU workloads, Eliovp’s modular systems deliver 1–2 MW of compute power per unit in a compact, prefabricated footprint. These solutions are scalable, efficient, and deployment-ready in under 6 months.

Whether you’re deploying 1 or 2 megawatts of GPU compute, our modular architecture delivers the scalability, efficiency, and resilience your AI workloads demand, all within a 12–17m footprint (depending on level of redundancy/maintainability).

Rack and Cooling System Integration

Eliovp’s modular architecture integrates high-density direct liquid to chip cooling (DLC) loops in combination with Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx), enabling precise thermal regulation, reduced loop complexity, and scalable coolant delivery across high-power compute racks.

Key Cooling Specifications

Chiller Configuration

N+1 redundant drycoolers or chiller sets with integrated glycol buffer vessels and Grundfos variable-speed pump sets, ensuring stable thermal delivery and hydraulic balancing under dynamic compute loads.

Direct-Liquid-to-Chip Cooling (DLC)

High-efficiency cold plate loops directly interfaced with GPU/CPU die surfaces via the CDU loop. Designed for thermal loads exceeding 100 kW/rack, with low ∆T and minimal thermal resistance.

Rear Door Heat Exchanger (RDHx) Strategy

Rack-mounted liquid-to-air RDHx units extract residual heat (5% for the NVL4 and around 18% for de NVL 72) post-DLC loop. Each unit is designed with passive and active failover capability to maintain airflow and thermal extraction in the event of a localized failure.

Coolant Composition

Closed-loop circulation of PG25 glycol solution (up to 40%) provides freeze protection, microbial resistance, and minimal fouling across the thermal exchange surfaces.

Optional Adiabatic Dry Coolers

For deployments in favorable climates, traditional mechanical chillers can be partially or fully replaced with adiabatic dry cooling arrays, significantly reducing PUE and OPEX during shoulder seasons.

Built-in Advantages

  • Liquid cooling + RDHx for optimal thermals
  • Side-by-side container format for site flexibility
  • Integrated fire suppression, telemetry, and access control

Scalable, Redundant Power Distribution

Eliovp’s power infrastructure is tailored for high-density GPU deployments. Each 1000 kW POD integrates dual power feeds (A and B), physically housed within a single electrical container featuring an internal partition for fault isolation and maintenance access. This modularized format supports fast deployment, high reliability, and future scalability to 2.2 MW through busbar augmentation and utility-side expansion.

Integrated Electrical Container (1MW Dual Feed POD)

UPS Architecture

Redundant 2× modular UPS blocks in decentralized parallel architecture (DPA), mounted within a 40ft container. Both A and B feeds share the enclosure, separated by a central fire-rated wall for physical and electrical segregation.

Busbar Distribution

IT load and cooling infrastructure are powered via segmented 1600 A copper busbars, with integrated tap-off units at 250 A and 125 A for sub-distribution.

Emergency Power Generation (NSA Containerized System)

To ensure grid-agnostic, uninterrupted operation, each 1 MW POD is backed by 2N containerized gensets systems that are prime rated to the maximum load of the IT and cooling equipment with the following specs:

  • Prime Power: 1224 kVA / 979 kW
  • Standby Power: 1320 kVA (continuously running capacity)

    • Busbar capacity upgrade
    • Additional chiller/UPS capacity
    • Genset pairing with 1640 kW (2×2000 kVA) NSA modules

All power delivery components are fully compliant with IEC 61439, and configured for integration into Tier III/IV-aligned operational topologies (including 2N-ready configurations for mission-critical deployments).
