Cooling technology provider Motivair, part of Schneider Electric, has introduced a 2,5 MW coolant distribution unit (CDU) designed for large, high-density AI and high-performance computing data centres.
The new MCDU-70 expands Motivair’s CDU portfolio and is intended for deployment in modular configurations that support cooling capacity of 10 MW and beyond. At 2,5 MW per unit, multiple systems can be combined to meet the requirements of large-scale facilities while maintaining redundancy and full flow performance.
The unit is designed to support liquid-cooled computing architectures required by next-generation graphics processing units used in AI workloads. Motivair indicates that the system preserves facility pressure and flow characteristics while enabling scaling at multi-megawatt and gigawatt-scale deployments.
According to the company, the MCDU-70 aligns with large-scale facility reference designs such as the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint where six units can be deployed in a 4+2 redundancy configuration to support 10 MW deployments.
“AI isn’t slowing down. Our solutions are designed to keep pace with chip and silicon evolution – delivering next-generation performance when it matters most,” says Rich Whitmore, CEO and President of Motivair by Schneider Electric. “Data centre success now hinges on delivering scalable, reliable and efficient infrastructure solutions that match the next generation of AI factory deployments.”
