The liquid nitrogen (LIN) cooling system pumps and refrigerates the LIN to ensure the proper flow and cryogenic temperatures are maintained for superconducting operation.
For distances of <=2 miles, a closed-loop LIN architecture similar to the SL series will be implemented. For longer distance projects in the future, VEIR will use its patented evaporative-cooling approach to extend cable lengths to 10 miles or beyond. The control system monitors the temperatures, pressures, flow rates, etc. of the system, executing automated protective responses to thermal excursions, loss of cooling and electrical faults.
At the campus scale, AI facilities are increasingly planned in tens to hundreds of megawatts, with some roadmaps extending toward gigawatt class “AI factories.”
As a result, power delivery, rather than compute or cooling, is becoming a primary constraint on data center scalability. Behind-the-meter medium-voltage (MV) corridors connecting data center buildings to the HV-to-MV substation(s) or onsite generation are being pushed to their practical and economic limits.
Access to power continues to constrain the timelines for data center deployments. Campuses with >200 MW IT loads require high voltage (230 - 345 kV) tie lines to deliver the necessary power which results in siting and permitting delays. Using the ST series, existing distribution voltage right-of-ways can be utilized to deliver 100 MWs of power, accelerating IT revenue by months if not years.
