Webinar:
Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) – Liquid Cooling in Data Centers

Power densities in data centers are on the rise. This makes it increasingly difficult to dissipate the resulting heat via air alone, especially in AI, GPU, and HPC systems. This is precisely where direct liquid cooling comes into play. The Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) plays a central role in this process—it connects the building’s cooling system to the IT cooling circuit.

In our webinar, we’ll examine how a CDU works, what functions it performs, and what’s important when designing one. We’ll focus not only on the CDU itself but also on the interplay from the chip all the way to the building cooling system.

Here’s what the webinar covers...

• Why does a server need to be cooled?
• What is a CDU, and what functions does it perform?
• How do the primary circuit, CDU, and IT-side secondary circuit work together?
• How do airflow and temperature difference ΔT affect cooling capacity?
• How is a heat exchanger designed for a CDU?
• What role do redundancy and availability play according to DIN EN 50600?
• How can CDUs be integrated into BMS, monitoring, and DCIM systems?

What You’ll Take Away from the Webinar...

• Better Understanding of CDUs
  You’ll gain a clear overview of the role a CDU plays between building services and IT cooling
   
• Properly Evaluating Performance Data
  A kW rating alone doesn’t tell the whole story. We’ll show you how temperatures, airflow, coolant, and heat exchangers influence actual performance.
   
• Viewing the cooling system as a whole
  From heat absorption at the chip through the CDU to recooling: For liquid cooling to function properly, the individual components must be coordinated with one another.
