Modine has announced expanded capacities for its range of coolant distribution units (CDUs) sold under its Airedale by Modine brand.
The expanded CDU range comes in response to increasing demand for high-performance, high-efficiency hybrid (air & liquid) cooling solutions from the global data centre industry.
Modine Climate Solutions president, Eric McGinnis, said there has been increased interest in CDUs as providers incorporate provisions for direct-to-chip cooling in their facilities.
The Airedale CDU, launched initially as a 1MW unit, is now available in capacities from 400kW to 2MW as part of a global, standardized range manufactured in the U.S. and Europe. Airedale also announced that delivering even larger capacity units is possible via engineered-to-order, skid-mounted designs.
"Hybrid air and liquid cooling systems are the new normal for the data centre industry," according to Art Laszlo, group vice president, Global Data Centres at Modine.
"As a complete system provider offering air and liquid cooling solutions and intelligent control throughout the thermal chain, Airedale by Modine is expertly positioned to support this transition."
Airedale by Modine will have a stand at will exhibit on Data Centre World, London, from 12-13 March, 2025.
