As demand for AI and high-performance computing infrastructure continues to grow, OptiCool is expanding its liquid cooling portfolio to provide customers with scalable Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) solutions for high-density computing environments. The comprehensive portfolio includes the CDU-M15-600 and CDU-M30-1200, designed to support a broad range of liquid cooling deployments from enterprise environments to large-scale AI infrastructure.
Engineered to support large-scale liquid cooling deployments, these CDUs provide the hydraulic separation, precision flow control, and operational visibility required to help operators manage increasingly demanding thermal environments. Both systems decouple facility water systems from critical IT cooling networks, helping operators maintain reliable thermal management while supporting direct-to-chip and rear door heat exchanger cooling architectures.
Designed with deployment flexibility in mind, the CDU-M15-600 and CDU-M30-1200 integrate with existing chilled water or glycol-based cooling environments and support a wide range of liquid cooling strategies. Industry-standard BMS integration, dynamic load management, precision flow control, and optional dual power feeds provide operators with the control and resiliency needed to support evolving infrastructure requirements.
“AI workloads are changing the requirements for cooling infrastructure faster than many operators anticipated,” said Matthew Roberts, VP of Sales at OptiCool. “Customers are looking for liquid cooling solutions that can support higher densities without adding unnecessary complexity. The CDU-M15-600 and CDU-M30-1200 were designed to give operators the flexibility, control, and scalability needed to support a wide range of liquid cooling deployments as their infrastructure requirements evolve.”
CDU-M15-600: Scalable Cooling for High-Density Infrastructure
The CDU-M15-600 is a high-flow coolant distribution unit designed to support AI and high-performance computing environments requiring up to 1.5 MW of cooling capacity. With up to 630 GPM of secondary loop flow, the system supports liquid cooling architectures requiring approximately 1.5 LPM per kW across high-density IT infrastructure.
The CDU-M15-600 supports direct-to-chip and rear door heat exchanger architectures while providing redundant operation, precision flow control, and industry-standard BMS integration. The system operates across a water temperature range of 45°F to 130°F and consumes a maximum of 38 kW of power.
CDU-M30-1200: Built for Large-Scale AI and HPC Deployments
The CDU-M30-1200 is designed for larger liquid cooling deployments requiring up to 3.0 MW of cooling capacity. With up to 1,320 GPM of secondary loop flow, the system supports high-density AI and HPC environments where cooling demands continue to increase alongside compute density.
Like the CDU-M15-600, the CDU-M30-1200 supports direct-to-chip and rear door heat exchanger architectures and incorporates redundant operation, precision flow control, dynamic load management, and industry-standard BMS integration. The system operates across a water temperature range of 45°F to 130°F and is designed to provide scalable cooling infrastructure for next-generation compute environments.
