Company brief
What Motivair does
Motivair supplies several links between information-technology equipment and the cooling plant. Its range includes direct-to-chip cold plates, coolant distribution units, ChilledDoor active rear-door heat exchangers, chillers, and service. The linked ChilledDoor is the clearest retrofit example: it replaces a rack's rear door and transfers server exhaust heat into a liquid loop without requiring cold plates inside each server.
For direct-to-chip projects, Motivair can instead provide the distribution equipment that controls the technology coolant loop. This span is useful when a buyer wants one thermal specialist to coordinate rack heat capture with facility equipment, especially for supercomputing and accelerated-computing systems. Schneider Electric acquired a controlling interest in 2025, so Motivair now sits within a broader power, controls, and global service portfolio.
Buyers should not treat “end to end” as a substitute for interface design. They still need to verify server and chip approvals, residual air-cooling load, water temperatures, condensation controls on rear doors, coolant chemistry, door weight and aisle clearance, redundancy, and the exact service organization available at the site. The ChilledDoor relationship proves an available rear-door product; it does not by itself validate a direct-to-chip design.
Product scope, experience, and performance statements in this profile come from Motivair and Schneider Electric. They are company-reported and need confirmation through project drawings, approved-vendor lists, and witnessed testing.

Cooling technologies
Direct-to-chip liquid cooling
A metal plate sits directly on each processor, and liquid pumped through it carries the heat out of the rack.
Rear-door heat exchangers
A water-cooled coil takes the place of the rack's back door and cools the hot air on its way out.
Hybrid air and liquid cooling
Liquid takes the heat off the processors while air handles the rest of the rack. Almost every liquid-cooled hall works this way.

Equipment categories
Coolant distribution units
The unit that stands between the building's water and the servers, controlling how much coolant flows, how cold it is, and how clean it stays.
Data center chillers
Refrigeration equipment that makes cold water on demand, whatever the weather outside is doing.
Rear-door heat exchangers
A water-cooled coil built into the back door of a rack, cooling the hot air as it leaves.
