Inside the pod
Compute and cooling,built as one.
Every PortaDC is a complete 450 kW to 1.2 MW AI facility in one shell. Racks, liquid cooling, 415 V power and controls are designed, built and tested together before the pod leaves the factory.

- Cool supply
- Warm return
Built as assemblies. Tested as one.
Three assemblies carry the pod. Each is built to CANUS specifications and proven together in a witnessed factory test before the pod ships.
01 · LIQUID
Coolant distribution
Moves heat from the rack loop to the roof loop. Redundant pumping, so one pump can stop and the racks keep running.
- N+1 redundant
- Supply at or below 35 °C
- Closed loop
02 · ELECTRICAL
Grid-edge switchboard
Takes the site's 415 V supply, meters it at the boundary and distributes it to the racks and the cooling plant.
- AS/NZS 61439
- Revenue-grade boundary meter
- Independent fault isolation
03 · THERMAL
Rooftop heat rejection
A full-length dry cooler that locks onto the vault and rejects the heat to air through an Australian summer.
- 45 °C design ambient
- 50 °C survival margin
- No evaporative water
FrontierGate™. In every pod.
A rack-mounted unit beside the switchboard. It holds the host's power boundary so the tenant's firm floor never moves, and its boundary readings are signed into the LARUS AI™ record.
- Role
- Holds the host boundary
- Tenant effect
- Firm floor never moves
- Fault protection
- Kept separate
Heat goes to air.Not to water.
