Data Center, Cooling & Power Models

Chillers, cooling towers, BESS containers, substations, and full campus models — the equipment that's too big for the booth, built at a scale that sells it.

The data center buildout is the biggest industrial construction wave in a generation — and the equipment behind it doesn't fit in a trade show booth. A 40-ton chiller, a cooling tower, a battery energy storage container, a whole campus: KiwiMill builds them at scales people can walk around, touch, and understand in seconds. We've spent 60+ years modeling cooling and power equipment for manufacturers who sell it — welded aluminum and brass, cutaways that show the engineering, animation that shows the airflow. And in all those years, we have never missed a client's show date.

“The Lennox scale model contained a high amount of detail coupled with a very challenging delivery schedule and you executed on both fronts to produce a high-quality product that exceeded our expectations while meeting all budget and schedule targets.” — Boeing vendor appreciation award

What data center suppliers use models for

Your product is measured in tons and megawatts. Your booth is measured in feet. That's the problem we solve.

Trade show exhibits

AHR, Data Center World, DCD, Distributech, RE+ — a scale model of your chiller or BESS container draws the crowd your full-size unit can't, because the full-size unit stayed home.

Cutaways & working demos

Show the engineering buyers can't see: airflow paths, coil packs, internals, animated process flows, interactive controls — the story your spec sheet can't tell on a crowded floor.

Sales & lobby models

Campus and facility models for sales offices, investor meetings, and lobbies — the whole project at tabletop scale, permanently on display.

Exhibiting at AHR Expo in January? Most models take 8–14 weeks. Model orders for winter shows realistically close in October — send your product and show date now and we'll build the schedule backward from the date.

Data center & cooling model questions

What manufacturers and marketing teams ask us before their first project.

How much does a data center or cooling equipment model cost?

Most KiwiMill projects start around $10,000, with no fixed ceiling — the drivers are size, level of detail, and features like cutaways, lighting, airflow animation, or interactive controls. Send photos or CAD of your equipment and we'll give you a real number, free.

What kinds of data center equipment can you model?

Chillers, cooling towers and adiabatic coolers, CRAH/CRAC units, battery energy storage containers, generators, transformers and switchgear, substations, server halls, and full campus site models. If it's built from CAD, we can build it in miniature — including the parts of it you want shown in cutaway.

Can the model show airflow, process, or internals?

Yes — that's usually the point. Cutaways and see-through sections expose coils, compressors, and internals; lighting and animation can trace airflow or power paths; interactive controls let booth visitors drive the demonstration themselves, like the computer-controlled power grid we built for Cisco.

How long does a model take to build?

Most models take 8–14 weeks depending on complexity and features. We plan backward from your show or launch date — and in 60+ years, we have never missed a client's show date. For AHR and other winter shows, orders realistically need to land by October.

Will it survive a full trade show season?

It's engineered for exactly that: welded aluminum and brass instead of plastic and glue, built to be handled by thousands of visitors and shipped city to city in a Pelican or custom case that's included with every model.

What do you need from us to get a quote?

Whatever you have — CAD files, engineering drawings, photos, or a spec sheet — plus your show date if there is one. Send it through the quote form and we'll come back with pricing and a timeline.

Your equipment is too big for the booth. Your model isn't.

Send us your CAD and your show date — chillers, coolers, BESS, substations, or the whole campus.
