Hydrotor pilot programs
Valum’s initial development programs focus on telecommunications sites and data centres. Each program addresses the electrical, operating and installation requirements of its intended application.
10 kW telecommunications program
The 10 kW Hydrotor system is being developed for telecommunications sites, including remote locations.
Work with a telecommunications company focuses on pilot construction, electrical integration and application-specific testing. Findings will guide operating specifications and installation planning.
- Intended application: Telecommunications sites
- Development priorities: Pilot construction, electrical integration and testing
- Next milestone: Complete the build and evaluate performance against the intended application requirements
1 MW data-centre program
The initial data-centre program focuses on developing a 1 MW Hydrotor system. Engineering priorities include controls, electrical integration and site infrastructure.
The illustrated five-unit arrangement represents a proposed future configuration combining five 1 MW units. Development begins with the initial 1 MW system; larger configurations will be informed by testing and integration requirements.
- Intended application: Data centres
- Development priorities: System engineering, pilot development and site integration
- Next milestone: Complete the initial system and evaluate its performance and integration requirements
Progressing toward larger applications
Development will proceed through system testing, specification setting and integration planning. The findings will inform decisions about additional units and larger installations.
