Installation, Commissioning & Per-Rack Unit Economics
Each GB300 NVL72 rack requires $77,725–$99,195 in Diamond Cool cooling hardware—compared to $50,000 for industry-standard liquid cooling systems. The premium is immediately justified by sub-ambient performance that unlocks 15% additional silicon clock speed, zero water consumption, and operational savings exceeding $65K/rack/year in reduced cooling electricity. The cooling system pays for itself in under 6 months.
Under 6 months. The $27K–$49K premium over standard cooling is recovered through $65K–$95K annual cooling electricity savings.
UL-2755 certified 48RU sidecar rolls into existing rack positions. No facility redesign. Plug-and-cool deployment in 8 weeks vs. 18-month facility overhauls.
Micro-bulk LN₂ delivery as managed OpEx overcomes facility-level liquefier CapEx barrier. Generates recurring revenue per rack per month.
