Vertiv has introduced three direct-to-chip [DTC] liquid-cooling units for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 70, CDU 100 and CDU 600 The new coolant distribution units [CDUs] give data-centre operators flexible options for retrofits and new builds as rack power densities and AI/HPC workloads continue to rise.
The flagship CDU 600 is on display this week at Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes.
“Customers need liquid cooling solutions that fit their specific deployment strategies. Whether they’re upgrading an existing hall or scaling a new facility.” Said Sam Bainborough, Vice President, EMEA Thermal Business at Vertiv. “Our expanded CDU line simplifies installation and supports long-term growth by reducing integration complexity and adapting to a wide range of environments.”
New Models at a Glance
| Model | Cooling Capacity | Configuration | Key Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| CoolChip CDU 70 | Up to 70 kW | In-row, liquid-to-air | Rapid, low-impact entry into liquid cooling using existing air-cooled infrastructure |
| CoolChip CDU 100 | 100 kW [4U] | In-rack, liquid-to-liquid | Secure, space-efficient cooling for incremental AI/HPC growth or pilot projects |
| CoolChip CDU 600 | 600 kW | In-row, liquid-to-liquid | Scalable, high-density cooling for hyperscale and colocation deployments |
Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU 600 is an in-row, liquid-to-liquid model delivering robust, scalable liquid cooling capacity for high-density AI and HPC deployments. The 600 kW system is designed to meet the demands of hyperscale and colocation environments, supporting in-row configurations and integrating easily into raised floor or retrofit installations. Its design, including top or bottom piping connections and available internal manifolds, streamlines infrastructure planning and speeds implementation. With redundant pumps, advanced monitoring for temperature and fluid quality, and a flexible approach to deployment, Vertiv CoolChip CDU 600 offers reliability, visibility, and performance for customers scaling liquid cooling across broader IT environments.
