Up to 15MW Cooling Capacity. Third-Party Certified.
The SIGMA M186 is a high-performance gasketed plate-and-frame heat exchanger built for thermal applications where failure is not an option. Advanced corrugated plate geometry. Maximum heat transfer. Minimum pressure drop.
Purpose-built to handle the most demanding heat loads in hyperscale and colocation data centers. The SIGMA M186 delivers reliable, energy-efficient thermal performance without compromise.
Every plate undergoes in-house AI visual inspection and a revolutionary crack testing system — ensuring each component meets exacting standards before it ever reaches your facility.
The SIGMA M186's modular construction allows engineers to expand cooling capacity as infrastructure grows — all within a compact footprint that maximizes rack density and data center floor space.
Straightforward maintenance access and a serviceable design keep your cooling infrastructure running at peak efficiency — minimizing downtime and total cost of ownership.
Every plate geometry is refined through advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations — validating uniform velocity profiles, minimizing fouling, and ensuring consistent heat transfer across the entire plate pack.
Six purpose-matched applications. One platform.
Transfers heat to cooling towers or dry coolers, enabling "free cooling" and significantly reducing chiller runtime and energy costs.
Keeps facility water cleanly separated from critical IT cooling loops, protecting sensitive equipment and maintaining system integrity.
Removes heat from CDU loops serving high-flux CPUs and GPUs operating at maximum computational load.
Supports rack-level cooling by rejecting heat from rear-door coil loops to facility water systems at the point of generation.
Efficiently handles elevated return temperatures of 80–120°F for improved energy reuse and system-level efficiency gains..
Maintains stable temperatures in ultra-high-density immersion deployments, cooling the fluid loop connected directly to immersion tanks..
Computational Fluid Dynamics optimization lets engineers visualize flow distribution, identify inefficiencies, and refine plate geometry — all before a single component is manufactured.
Validated flow distribution across every plate.
Geometry refined to reduce buildup and extend service life.
Consistent thermal performance across the full plate pack.
Advanced corrugation delivers efficiency with minimal resistance.
From design to final inspection — controlled, precise, and uncompromising.
Third-party verified for the world's most demanding compliance standards.
