In Rack CDU for Data Center Liquid Cooling Systems
In Rack CDU for AI Data Centers | Intelligent Liquid Cooling Distribution Unit
High Efficiency In Rack CDU for AI, HPC and High Density Data Centers
As AI computing, GPU clusters, and high-density servers continue to increase power density, traditional air cooling is no longer sufficient. The In Rack CDU (Cooling Distribution Unit) is designed to deliver precise coolant flow, stable pressure, and intelligent temperature control directly inside the server rack.
Our In Rack CDU integrates pumps, plate heat exchangers, intelligent controllers, sensors, and safety protection into a compact 19-inch rack cabinet, providing reliable secondary coolant circulation for Direct-to-Chip Liquid Cooling and Rear Door Heat Exchanger (RDHx) applications.
Whether deployed in AI data centers, HPC clusters, cloud computing facilities, or enterprise server rooms, the system ensures maximum cooling efficiency while minimizing energy consumption and operating costs.
